When was the last time Muir made a comic without titties in it? Is that just like an every day thing now? Is it a purposeful change of direction or is it more like when he legit didn't realize he was having the characters chop vegetables every single day until someone pointed it out to him?

I was wondering about that myself, where are the cartoons? I feel like, as a military veteran that was sworn to secrecy, he snuck out of this dimension with such clever subterfuge the cartoonists are not aware of it. I'm collaborating with people to get a bunch of Christopher Lee movies and watch them soon, even making a neat-o banner in tribute. When Nimoy passed it was titled Spock Night which was a travesty, this will be Christopher Lee night. That Lee snuck passed the cartoonists is nothing but a good thing, rather than having these hacks flail their arms and barf on a page in some sham of an homage.

Speaking of tributes, I have no idea if this is meant to be an insult or not:

Seems kinda hosed up to use primate imagery or to show people battling with swords after the atrocities that happened not so long ago. I did a cursory search and there doesn't seem to be a television series he's making fun of, either, just "row" in the British parlance.

You've never seen the "hear no evil, see no evil, say no evil" triptych before? It's typically represented with three apes or three monkeys.

At the Gates of Heaven, St. Peter greets Chrisopher Lee: "I've got some friends who would like to thank you..." Tolkein, Sax Rohmer, and Charlemagne are all peaking over the wall giving a thumbs up and smiling while shedding a single tear. On Earth below, Lady Liberty is crying next to his grave in Arlington Cemetery.

Some of them do, others are staking out the position that the US should get involved on the ground against ISIS simply because Obama has declared that that's not what he wants to do.

Looks like the HoJo's JRROSE! is reminiscing about was a restaurant as well as a motel, so that would probably explain it: there are only a handful of Howard Johnson's restaurants still open, and they are powerful Boomer Nostalgia Totems.

The last time Muir made an awkward movie reference, he implied that Fury Road was about a gang of misandrist women toting Max around with a leash and muzzle, so that seems like a pretty tame inaccuracy in comparison.

I can empathize a little, as it was weirdly sad to me when both of the theatres I went to as a kid were shut down and then demolished. It certainly isn't something I'd dedicate a cartoon to unless the store had some significant history with the local area I was cartooning for.

The only thing Tinsley and co. know about education is that common core is the devil and everyone gets a trophy. Also all the money we ever give to schools goes to teacher's unions fat cats so we should stop giving schools money because it's not going to help the kids anyways. Basically anyone with kids who aren't in schools anymore doesn't see a reason for them to exist so shut it all down, it's worthless anyways.
