But that would actually hint at a comical intent, how does that work? I thought this comic was all about smug smiles and bittersweet life-lessons.

The people were ASTONISHED at his doctrine.


Seven pitches mostly for safety reasons related to replacing dirty balls and to keep the consistency relatively... well, consistent. You're hurling around a hunk of fabric and cork at speeds frequently in excess of 90 miles per hour, and periodically whacking it with a bat, that thing is going to degrade rapidly, and that's before taking into account how picking up grime and mud changes the ball's aerodynamics significantly. Way back in the day there used to be actual strategies revolving around how beaten up and dirty the single game ball would get by the end of play, and it was only halted when a spitball went wild and struck Ray Chapman in the temple, killing him.

Anyway this has been your dumb baseball trivia for the day.

Newspaper strips usually have a 2-3 week lead time, so unless Gilchrist had a psychic vision that long ago, we won't see Prince mentioned until well after the fact. I hope.

More likely that he's probably taken a dozen other fares to the same exact club from that same exact subway stop, who mouthed off about the party each time. Easy money and the driver gets a lot more $$$ than he would if he spent half the night driving aimlessly looking for a fare.

I really assumed that having a subway ride to then catch a cab was to have some "OH WOW WE'RE UNDERGROUND ON A TRAIN!!!" bit of plot but I guess the Evanses have just never been to New York! (Taking Metro and then catching a cab is totally a thing people do in DC.)

That's not a real bill, it's one of those lovely fake twenties that lovely old people leave as a tip and when you pick it up it just says "All the wealth in the world doesn't compare to the kingdom of heaven," except his just says "gently caress you." So it's a little less insulting.

We're getting close to the end, I think. It abruptly goes on a long hiatus that ends with the author saying he's stopping so he can focus on his published work.

Which, if you're interested, can be purchased here.

e: also he's still doing Poptropica, I think. Though that's a tie-in comic for some kid-friendly, browser based MMO so I assume it pays the bills.

As a former New Yorker, the idea of riding the subway and *then* taking a cab is utterly silly. There are very few places in Manhattan that aren't within easy walking distance of a subway stop. Unless this hot, hip club is out in Williamsburg, in which case have fun getting a cab after midnight!

If they're taking the subway 7 stops, it drat well might be in Williamsburg.

Either that, or since they didn't give him a street address and are obviously from waaaaaaaaay out of town, he's gonna take them to the club by way of Herald Square, the Cloisters, the 59th Street Bridge, and possibly Staten Island.

I work with a Plugger like this, she's deaf as all gently caress (diagnosed) and won't get hearing aids. She can't afford them and is too prideful to take her son who has more than enough cash to finance hearing aids for his 70something mother on his offer to buy them for her.

Pluggers who didn't plan for retirement are really depressing :smith:

e: She has a customer facing job, too. It's super depressing. Like nobody wants to fire her but we aren't sure there is any other solution because it causes such huge problems with her job so right now we just let it slide in the hope that she dies before we have to do anything about it :smithicide:
