That's still the plan as far as we know. There've been a couple of panels with the Phantom self-satisfiedly chuckling about it, or Guran mashing stuff to make it, etc. Which just makes the Endless Treasure Carousel even more pointless.

It's pointless from her viewpoint but the entire arc appears to be an excuse to tell the story of past Phantoms.

Because there is little reason to lock one's self into a closet (home invasions, I guess?), however there are plenty of reasons one might want to lock a closet that's full of stuff. This would generally necessitate a key, though.

A better question is why they have never bothered to reverse the lock. It's a simple procedure and doesn't require more than a screwdriver.

But thats my point. You wouldn't have THAT kind of lock on a closet door that locked from the outside.

This Soul Corner is just begging for a Breaking Bad edit.

Seriously, it's very odd now when I read stuff about the Civil Rights Movement and see Walter White's name pop up all the time.

On another note, the Comics Curmudgeon raised a great point about the current fantastic Iron Jonah plot in Spider-Man - instead of using Iron Jonah to find and expose Spider-Man, it would be much funnier if he became a competing superhero, gradually destroying Spider-Man's reputation.

I can only assume that the color version totally butchers the joke. So I looked it up on GoComics and-



...Apparently most of the older daily Non Sequiturs only colorize the thought bubbles. I have no idea why, since this is the only time I can remember where the joke only makes sense in black and white.

Also this comic looks way better as a square.

I think you're giving Brooke too much credit. Miyamoto Musashi never fought in a river with a boat oar, the closest was when he whittled a wooden sword out of one before a duel on an island.

I'm giving him too much credit, but your counter-argument is that he got the facts wrong?

Check those phones with the curly cords. I wonder if they're rotary.

I'll grant you that it's pretty unlikely that anyone would try to contact someone as young as Tommie is supposed to be on a landline these days, but don't all (non-cordless) landline phones have curly cords? I don't recall seeing one that didn't.

I remember I got that BC Game for my Tandy 1000 and my mom saw the box and said I wasn't allowed to call the one lady "Fat Broad" as it suggested in the manual. She would come out and hit you with a club and kill you, so we would always scream, "Watch out for That Lady" instead. BC was a weird comic.

Still is. And that character is still named Fat Broad, they just never use her name in the strip. Or the only other female character's, which is Cute Chick.

Fingerpori

At a hairdresser's:
- Would you clean up that hair from the floor?
- I planned to do it soon
- When are you getting that new chair?
- I've been planning to
- afjasdgfasgasd
- Speaking


First some copypaste from Wiktionary:
aikoa To plan to do, intend to do, aim to do; to be going to do, will do.

Aikoja therefore is "a person who plans to do". I'd say "a planner" but that's not quite the same. Aikoja is also the plural of aika, "a time" or (in this case) "an appointment".

The verb olla means (among other things) "to be, to exist". Onko? is its 3rd person singular question form, "Is?". The person on the phone asks Onko aikoja?, literally "Are there appointments?" which is obviously not the way you ask to make an appointment to a hairdresser in English but it works in Finnish. As it happens, Onko...? is also the way you ask "Is this...?", "Have I reached...?" on the phone.
