That's is not how people from Hootin' Holler talk. And isn't Silas's shop in Hootin' Holler? I do like the fact that Silas's and Barney's tongues are both constantly visible though. It's a nice detail, like the Little Orphan Annie characters having no irises or pupils.

Seriously. Everyone admitted that Tiffany was a great event/party coordinator at the prom but now all conveniently forgot about it. Nope, let's call loving Bernice instead.

Psst, they're making a joke about how Bernice thinks she's cool now because she accidentally was in the vicinity of a successful party. I know this is Luann, so its hard to tell what's supposed to be humorous, but c'mon.

I think you're giving too much credit. Quill clearly doesn't know what Luann's talking about, so I think Luann is serious.

No, no, I know that. I meant the relationship of her parent's costumes to a Lorde concert. I guess I should've been specific. Do the denizens of Lorde concerts all look like they should be in a Matrix movie? What, with leather coat, turned up collar, etc? And if so, why? That's what I was wondering, never having been to a Lorde concert personally.

Lorde dresses sort-of gothy in some pictures if you squint. Maybe in a 2014 nine-year-old's frame of reference it's the closest match for "black stylish clothes." A great deal closer than Matrix to be sure.

The kid should just ask one of his serial killer friends (or mother) to hunt the guy down and eat his face. They can't suspend him again, that would be double jeopardy. I know, because I saw it in a movie.

I found a video of the final Agent Smith/Neo fight set to Lorde's cover of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," but it's got like 400 hits so I seriously doubt the strip was inspired by that.

Maybe the joke is that Phoebe is too young (and Marigold is too unicorn-y) to know what the Matrix is?

Wow, I got kind of fired up when you mentioned that she covered that (Tears for Fears geek, here), and listened to it. Yuck. I liked ICP's cover of "Let's Go All The Way" better than that. Other than "Royals", I've not listened to much Lorde. Are all her songs like "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"?

Jesus christ it's easy to fall way behind on this thread, way too fast. Finally caught up.

Before I resume posting from my archive of John Darling, some interesting news:

I've been contacting some cartoonists, showing them some of the best edits we've made of their work.

Very positive responses from:

Kevin Frank! (of course)
Dana Simpson!
Paul Gilligan!
and Paige Braddock!

(well, I don't know what Paige's response actually was, but her assistant said "oh god, she'll love this".)
