Why would a professional carpet cleaner want to come home to more carpet? Why do all of these rich old men have three heirs that they see on the very day of their murder? Why wouldn't the police be staking out the homes of every rich old dude in this universe?

Is the real solution going to be something like "If you really had the flu you wouldn't be bundling up"? Edit: This reminded me of a CSI episode. A woman was questioned about where she was the morning of the murder. She gave her alibi as being sick from food poisoning from the night before. The head detective dismissed her story; according to him food poisoning would set in within 15 minutes and would have dissipated by the next morning. The thing is, there is no singular type of food poisoning, many things can cause different symptoms we lump together as "food poisoning". And even if she didn't have food poisoning she could have been mistaken about what made her sick. RandomPauI fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Jul 7, 2014 |

Looking ahead a bit the pirate character is going to be introduced soon, too. Not really sure how it'll all tie together, but it's good to know that it's going somewhere with the overall plot. The arc I started with, which was at the tail end of the comic before it went on hiatus, also had Heckbender concluding everything.

So it explicitly says the guns fingerprints were unusable, then the solution is something that technically isn't the gun but the reader would assume was checked along with the gun did in fact, have usable prints? And then there was fuckall to suggest who those belonged to other than the narration?

I googled it and it's a 1931 movie but as far as I can tell it doesn't share a single actor or staff member with The Wizard of Oz so I have even less of an idea now.

^ Now, you are just being intentionally obtuse. < >Edminster posted:it was released before world war 2 started get over yourself great-grampa It doesn't matter if it was released 2 centuries ago when it would repeatedly be ran on TV up until semi-recently. Besides, it is a childrens movie staple. It is prevelent enough to where the hat and the meter of the song should have been enough. Hell, the "oil can" bit is being incredibly unsubtle about it.

Fingerpori tries its hand at catte comix Fok_It  Eino Leino was a journalist and poet and is considered one of the most important Finnish authors. The poem that Frog is quoting is called Laulu onnesta, and the first line especially has become a common phrase. I'm not a poet, but I wanted to try translating it anyway. A song of happiness Let the one with happiness be the one to hide it, let the one with treasure be the one to cover it, and let the happy one be happy of his happiness and the rich one rejoice in his loneliness. Happiness won't suffer the sights of men. Let the one with happiness in the woods make his den and let him live quietly, quietly with his treasure and quietly of his happiness take his pleasure. Are there seriously no two synonyms for hide/cover/conceal etc. that would rhyme together? drat. e: Oh right, forgot to mention. The punchline in this comic is lost in translation because, well, there's no way to translate it. The poem uses a poetic form of "who [has]", that is, kell' where normally it would be kellä. When Frog's asking "who's the one", he uses kell'. His follow-up "Me? You?" uses the same form: Mull'? Sull'? which would usually be Mulla? Sulla? or Minulla? Sinulla?. I considered translating it as "Me? Thee?" but that would've been just confusing, I think. Not to mention anachronistic, but "I? Thou?" wouldn't have been as good. e2: One more thing about the tone of the poem, just to make it clear: that "let" doesn't mean "allow", as in "let him be alone". It's a passive imperative as in "let there be light", that is, more like a command or statement of how things should be henceforth. tiistai fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Jul 7, 2014 |

Cul-de-sac oh god damnit, Ernesto again. Wish there was a medication they could give Petey to make him go away. Of course, I suspect Petey feels the same way. The Creeps welp, so much for mr. fish.

You were? Really? Well anyway, too bad, because this week we're back to chasing comic books.  The Starbuck Jones publishers sound like a real pair of clown shoes. And not just because of the name.
