Creepy little garbage eaters

Every bad thing Lottie and Shauna do to Jordan is completely justified. Who the gently caress wears a hooded onesie anyway?

I'm assuming Lynx Africa is just British (or Allison-ese) for Axe body spray, right?

Also,

Wikipedia should have posted:

Axe (also known as Lynx in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and People's Republic of China) is a brand of vile antiperspirant musk, owned by the British–Dutch company Unilever and marketed towards teenage boys and other mistake-makers.

Maybe this is just "teenager can't handle his alcohol", but: notice that the jerk guy offered a drink only to the two people he most hates right now.

Oh God, Lynx Africa was my first deodorant. It was everyone's first deodorant. I was really hoping it would have died out in the 90s like AOL and grunge.

Fun Fact: Africa is called 'Kilo' (or something) over here in Japan.

I think Lynx was basically most guys first deodorant. That whole tongue-in-cheek "Women will be all over you" thing is very effective on adolescents who want to get the girls but have no idea how. Sure, it's obviously meant ironically and doesn't actually do that, but just imagine if it did...

My mother wouldn't have it in the house. We got this stuff that was made I think primarily from alcohol and citric acid instead.

Man, I knew better than to have Axe as my first deodorant; poo poo never smelled better than the nastiest chemicals, yet everybody in the locker room sprayed it on locations where deodorant should not be, like inside baseball caps.

Apparently there's a variety marketed toward women these days called Lynx/Axe Anarchy.

Looks like the print run of Giant Days has been extended to 12 issues. Pretty good news, because I've been enjoying that book quite a bit.

I would say it was definitely a trap, but he did have the balloons ready.

On the other hand, this is the guy who had the Boy randomly killed by a hell computer just before the story ended and reincarnated as a devil horse, so.

"Auto pilot requires missing plug-in."

The girls will find it with a quick google search and upload it into the spaceplane's memory via bluetooth. Not-Steve-Jobs will be undone by the user friendliness of his slickly designed software!

I was really leaning "Steve Jorbs enslaved by crazy AI that took over the moon or something" when this story started, but I will totally buy "software cult scam on behalf of alien taskmasters."

I have no idea what's going on in the Cop Drama - I just don't remember what happened last week when there's a new issue. Did we see any of these characters before? I have no idea.

Since I've never read Scary-Go-Round I normally have the same problem with Bobbins when it turns up as a once-a-week thing, but by all accounts that's good? I liked Giant Days, since it all came at once, so I'd probably like Cop Drama too if it became a full-time thing. Just not like this.
