I don't know what it is about Ballard Street, but it's one of my favorite strips posted in this thread. Just so drat weird.

Dang that's dark. And actually, maybe funny? It's Dilbert so I'm confused on that point.

I didn't even notice that.

I was concentrating on the genuinely, totally realistic depiction of two siblings being given a doll which shoots balls out of its mouth.

Of course they're shooting it at each other :allears:

9 Chickweed Lane

I'm trying to imagine what kind of multi-million dollar company has an organization chart where one of the flight attendants is next in line to become CEO.

I wonder if this character might meet a man soon and then they won't get along but then suddenly they will be wildly and passionately in love.

I have to admit, I did not expect these two storylines to cross over into each other.

Calvin and Hobbes

Only vaguely tangentially related, but I was delighted while helping to clean out my childhood home last year to find a pair of the Wally Warhead dolls for which I'd sent off UPCs as a kid. My young cheeks were not acid-burned raw for nothing.

Do mummies not count as taxidermy? Genuinely curious.

As I understand it taxidermy only uses the skin of the animal, the interior is entirely artificial - hence the name, from the same root as "dermalogical" and other skin-related terms. In mummification much of the body's internal structure, like the skeleton, remains inside the mummy.

Mark Trail

For those of you keeping track at home, that's one thing that should've killed Mark accounted for, 4,768 unaccounted for.

I don't know if it really counts as "accounted for" if the explanation is "idk lol."

"Yeah man, the entire island literally exploded, but fortunately we kept our mouths pointed away from the source of the deadly gases at all times!"
"Quick thinking, Mark!"

A hummingbird�s brain makes up a whopping 4.2 percent of its weight; proportionally, that�s the largest of any bird�s. (By comparison, our brains are 2 percent of our body weight.)!!
