It's been a long time since I've been on the forums.

In the meantime Morrie Turner sadly passed, Luann had a timeskip, and I need to get back into the new plots of all the serial strips. The time for making Nikko Poops and RepubliCAD has passed, but I also no longer have a machine with Photoshop and am trying to figure out the GIMP.

But through it all, one thing remains a familiar and welcoming constant:

Once this same thing happened to me at the mall parking lot, except even worse because the old lady actually tapped my car. Of course I did my civic duty as a concerned citizen and had her immediately committed to the nearest old folks home where, thankfully, she soon died of being a doddering old sack of poo poo.

No, wait, I'm not Mary Worth, so I did what a normal person does when there is absolutely zero harm done and said, "Nah, it's cool. No damage. Have a good afternoon."

I hope I didn't let her go insufficiently shamed. :ohdear:

Is it the phrase "past mistress"? It just means she's really good at it, although I think you just say "past master" whether the person you're talking about is male or female and the grammar is messed up. It's really hard to work the phrase so as to slip "past master" in there at all. A normal person might say something like "the crackling blast of demonic plasma (Dru's speciality)" but obviously McEldowney wanted to force the words "past mistress" into that sentence. Even so, he could have done better, eg. "the crackling blast of demonic plasma launched by Dru, a past master of the art."

The most glaring issue is that the shadow is completely loving wrong, unless the light source isn't the "crackling blast of demonic plasma" but a spotlight at least a dozen meters away. If the plasma is the source, the shadow is both way too small (it would take up most of the wall) and at a totally wrong angle (the midpoint should be the window).

I don't normally care about Brooke's lovely art but now he's actually pointing it out and being proud of it. What the christ. "The best things that I draw come about by at least 70% accident" yeah I don't loving doubt it.

Welcome to the pretentious zone. For the next two weeks, you will verbally assaulted to the core with the most overblown, pompous, ostentatious, aureate, bombastic, euphuistic, vainglorious bloat ever produced by a single H. Sapiens. Brooke's words are like the swag-rear end plastic jewelry you can buy at Charming Charlie -- flashy and expensive looking on the outside, but just cheap plastic on the inside.

Wow. Two of those BrookeSpeak® words didn't even exist in Firefox's spell check dictionary!
