I like the look of concerned and confused Wilson has as if legitimately wondering wither he'll have to totally re-think every thing he believes worship should be.

I finally quit putting it off and ponied up for a subscription renewal with comics kingdom. I hope nobody's on tenterhooks waiting for me to post a massive catch-up post with all your favorites we missed because.... Nope. Don't want to do that. If it seems like we missed anything important or awesome, though, I'll try to maybe find out what that was.



Sally Forth



The Amazing Spider-Man
I'm including one of the weeklys because it features a brilliant example of some of that clever humor and wordplay that has made Spidey a classic character beloved by millions:

I let my Comics Kingdom subscription expire because the archives of all the stuff I post is online for free anyway and I don't even read them. Honestly it's a waste of $20 unless you really like the old stuff you can't easily find anywhere else.

When they passed out body parts in the comics today, I got Cathy's nose and Dick Tracy's private parts.

Jean-Claude Duvalier became President of Haiti at age 19!... because his father was an autocratic, CIA-backed dictator who had absolute control over the rules of succession! He then embezzled millions from state funds while most of his citizens lived in poverty!

Funny how Ripley's never seems to mention stuff like that. But... hey, money-scented cologne!

But what happened to Ben Bolt and Juliet Jones?! :ohdear:

Ok, I admit I'm curious myself.



When we left Ben Bolt he was just starting to figure out that the way to beat a guy whose memorized all his moves is to use different moves. He starts switching stuff around which confuses Igor, but also leaves Ben open. Both men trade blows and Ben goes down a time or two, but finally he goes all :supaburn: and wins the fight:



Everybody is very happy and feeling incredibly patriotic. And I mean everybody:



:patriot: And that's where we will pick up tomorrow.




Last we heard from Juliet Jones, Eve had been taking dictation for a book from Mrs. Marmon, who turned out to be a horrible dried-up old bitch! Eve and her sorta boyfriend Billy can't confront Mrs. Marmon for her blackmail attempt because she has apparently sailed off for Europe. They decide to confront her butler, Louis, instead. It doesn't go well at first, but we love Eve because Eve's got moxie:



She finally manages to trick Louis into letting them in. It turns out, of course, that Mrs. Marmon is not in Europe. She and Eve start with the name-calling almost immediately. Mrs. Marmon orders Louis to throw the young people out, and threatens to fire him if they get in again. Louis agrees to do as he's told... but first he has a shocking plot twist to reveal!





:aaaaa: And so goes the story so far.

To be fair a lot of people ignore writing because it's lovely, so people often give scores out of 1600. Although it's been like six years since I talked about SATs because there was like a two week period after getting my score where I cared, so maybe things changed again.
