I don't know what's less believable, that Sam could mistake Westview for a nice place or that there are businesses there other than Montoni's and the comic shop. Also, didn't they come for the auction? If so, why are they at notMontoni's while it's happening?

A dead Ken doll at that. Brooke's art drives me insane every time I see it because he just has no loving clue how skin tones work! He shades with the dodge and burn tools exclusively and has apparently never determined that light and shadows affect the perceived color of the object. Most importantly, when something is shadowed, its colors get richer.

I know I've complained about the oily-coal-dust effect before but I wanted to make it clear just how trivial a change it is and just how big a difference it makes. This GIF alternates between Brooke's corpse-like shading, and the same image with the saturation of the shadows brought up 60%. This is literally a single adjustment layer and a selective blend to target the dark areas. No other changes and no repainting.

I once saw someone fall off an exercise bike. It was part way through a charity fund-raiser (two people doing a bike relay for 24 hours) and they'd just finished a long session about 3/4 of the way through. That is the only time.

Does he have a neurological problem? I'm not sure how else you can fall off a stationary bike, and have no idea how you can think it's an idea funny enough to spend multiple days on.

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it
it said they was bitches





Lincoln didn't have a beard during childhood. Lincoln didn't even have a beard when he started his presidency.



In fact, it was a little girl just like that one who convinced him to grow the beard in the first place, and it nearly bankrupted a printer who had stocked up on thousands of copies of that photo, expecting them to sell like hotcakes once Lincoln won. He had to burn them all, and it was such a blow to his business that he got out of lithographs altogether and started printing board games. The man's name was Milton Bradley.

It's eerily similar to when Mandrake's idea of how to help solve a crime was to torment the detective who asked for his help all month instead. I guess it's part of the magical tradition: spend your life mastering the mystic arts, then just use them to gently caress with people for weeks and weeks.

The whole thing is just unbelievably stupid. Like with some stories if you pick at a thread it unravels but there's nothing to unravel here. My brain almost accepts it because it doesn't want to bother thinking about all of the different things that are wrong with those strips.
