Would you be my new best friends?

I love that final panel. I must admit like an idiot I didn't connect the dots for the first half of the comic that the final story was always about the same person.

I got it on the second police blotter panel, because they mentioned the ponytail.

When I glimpsed the picture of him in the paper I worried (worried?? That's not the right word.) that it was his obituary.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


I hope it's something slightly different than usual for Showbiz. I get that he's a man of bad habits, but I think we've seen him come in, mooch, be a huge dick and leave enough times to get the pattern.

I think part of the horror of Showbiz is his inevitability. He's like winter, or the rain, but for your emotional portfolio.

Did "X is a thing" originate with Achewood? It's the most annoying loving phrase now that it seems to be used everywhere.

My dad used to get real mad when me and my siblings would say "whatever" as a noncommittal statement. "No, NOT WHATEVER," he would bellow, and follow it with exhortations to be more specific.

He didn't want to accept that whatever was a thing. Kind of like fetch deniers.

Something I only noticed recently was the stars coalescing to form the shape of a skull, like a proto-Cartilage Head, in the last panel of the prelude to Beef's last trip to Heaven.

It also took me a couple years to realize Teodor and Little Nephew's conversation at Ray's Toilet Party was a convluted weed deal, but I was also 13 when I first read that storyline.
