What the gently caress does she want a slabbed copy for? She's just going to take it straight out, isn't she? Because that's exactly what she did with the last one. :argh:

I don't even care about comic books and I think sealing them up and keeping them just to collect is incredibly dumb. If someone bought a slabbed comic book in real life and took it out to read it, then threw it in the garbage, I wouldn't care. But this makes me angry. Tom Batiuk truly must be a master story-teller, assuming that its his intent to create the most unlikeable characters imaginable.

You took the words out of my mouth.

Although I do see the point of slabbed books; most of these are considered "investment" copies. With the advent of the internet and omnibuses, actually wanting to read these issues is easier than ever and you don't have to ruin an old comic. I know a few people that have slabbed books but still love the stories and relive them through different, cheaper and less destructive means.

After the draw, the Indian football association AIFF decided against going to the World Cup, citing travel costs (although FIFA had agreed to bear a major part of the travel expenses),[8] lack of practice time, team selection issues and valuing the Olympics over the FIFA World Cup.[8]

Although FIFA had imposed a rule banning barefoot play following the 1948 Olympics[9][10] where India had played barefoot, the Indian captain at the time, Sailen Manna, claimed that this was not part of the AIFF's decision.[8]

I don't mind it except for the ridiculously high standards for Wiley. Seems to be a complaint every time Non Sequitur does a lame politics joke when, you know, that was the strip's original bread and butter.

Anyway, who gives a poo poo, the comics are the show here. Or the edits, in Nancy's and 4CL's case.

What ever happened to ol' Everett anyway? He was a jingoistic nutbag for a while but he was tapering off before he disappeared.

And while we're on the subject, what became of Foxy Grandpa? Did he and The Baby finally get flummoxed by The Boys? :ohdear:

The answer to those, and all other questions of missing strips, is that posting a strip every day is boring and unrewarding.

It is a tad weird, to be honest. I've never really noticed if you do it with the other artists, but it seems like you're always addressing him directly rather than talking about him. Doesn't help that he's the only one whose first name you use.

Nah, Blank calls Kliban "Bernard" too.
For what it's worth, I find addressing the artists directly a lot less weird than addressing the characters directly.

The Wiley comments only stick out a little because Wiley seems a lot less of an idiosyncratic "personality" than a lot of the other artists we regularly rip on. Lester is a hack, Lynn is a bad mother, Holbrook is a loon, Brooke is a... Brooke. That sort of thing.
