I like the colourist fuckup on Brad's leg so that it looks like he has both feet attached to a single leg.

Can you really blame the colorist? It's a very bad drawing.

What's on your mind, Axa?

Yes, they are expressive when used the right way. Can you show me some being used properly?

In the hands of someone even just a smidge better than Brooke, that could indeed be a very striking scene (though, really, does it need to be striking? Nothing's going on), as is it looks... like vaguely person shaped cutouts in reality, since I assume the yellow circle is supposed to be some kind of spotlight type thing?

Except that Kelly doesn't list scissors as one of her makeover tools, and unless the old lady was sporting a fake bun this whole time, I don't believe she achieved that new hairstyle without a haircut.

This is true. I was the CIO of a small health insurance company years ago, and saw it all from the inside. We used to expend large amounts of time making sure that you didn't get money from us, because, hell, we we're trying to make a profit here. The "for profit" logic applies to many other types of insurance too, but health insurance is, by far, the worst.

Anyway, Brooke had the point hammered home, countersunk, and painted over by last Wednesday, and it's just old now.

I did some medical billing once upon a time and I had it explained to me that it was their job to try not to pay on the insurance side. I had never considered it, but it made sense. Dirty, but sensible.

Master Ferret,

Thank you for your kind comments from beyond the veil of these modern times. Rest assured that as long as I control this 1925 vintage pen and brush, there will always be room in "Out Our Way" for cowboys and comical Negroes.

Yours in Christ,

I don't know Scott Roberts all that well, but it might be a little bit of both.

It should be noted that both cartoonists have the same influence. They both enjoy classic animation, Bob Clampett in particular. John K. is also a huge Clampett fanboy.
