Why haven't they changed mouseyboy back yet? I thought they were only going to keep him as a human for a couple of weeks.

Yeah that doesn't seem respectful. At all. Especially if it goes the "Calvin is their missing kid who got disappeared" prediction somebody made is accurate.

Because the Campus Police have a file on him, and even unsupervised science warlocks whose only problems are the side effects of the science-magic they use to blithely wish away every inconvenience in their lives can't do poo poo about the Campus Police!!

I know it's obviously not going to happen, but if it turned out that Diana was the one challenging Guran it would be the best thing to ever happen in this comic.

You can tell that's not accurate by the fact that Gunther is still sitting there and didn't hurl himself out the window.

Mostly I put the writing in Mary Worth down to Karen Moy just not putting in any effort, since Joe Giella clearly isn't going to, so why bother? But this has got to be intentional. There's no way she actually thinks that she's writing Adam as anything but a creepy stalker, right?

I remember that YOUNG HUNKY WORKAHOLIC LONER that Mary set up with the YOUNG SHY ROMANCE WRITER WITH OVERBEARING MOTHER who sounded exactly the same*, so this is probably exactly how she thinks young men in love should talk to their betrothed.

I'm not so sure about that statement, Wiley, but I'm too lazy to go look up the statistics. "Every year" is pretty broad.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/ It almost checks out, with the exception of Toy Story 3 (and counting comic book movies as scifi). Toy Story 3 aside, the last time a non sci fi or fantasy film topped the box office was 1998 with Saving Private Ryan. Year before that was Titanic). The last decade for instance:

2005 - Revenge of the Sith (sci fi)
2006 - Dead Man's Chest (fantasy)
2007 - Spider Man 3 (sci fi)
2008 - The Dark Knight (sci fi)
2009 - Avatar (sci fi)
2010 - Toy Story 3
2011 - Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows (fantasy)
2012 - The Avengers (sci fi)
2013 - Hunger Games: Catching Fire (sci fi)
2014 - American Sniper (fantasy)

What is "vocal fry"? I looked it up on Wikipedia so I know it's something about a type of sound people make when they're speaking, but I can't understand from the article what it actually sounds like.

Maybe not power line height, but I've definitely seen a chicken clear a head height fence. On the other hand, that was with a lot of frantic flapping, and it could not have maintained flight for much past that.
