What? What did they talk about? They never talked about the smoking, he just agreed to outright quit. Just like he did last time. And that didn't work then, so maybe it'll work now I guess? Because they talked about it in the exact same way? They also never addressed the kiss with Esme. Yeah it was one-sided but they never talked about that so how does she know that? She also never mentioned that she nearly decided to let Esme fall to her death. That's probably a thing they should talk about, or at least she should talk about it with a therapist.

They talked about literally nothing. No misunderstandings were cleared up.

Usually Mary Worth at least shows the meddling actually doing something. In this case, she basically said "Go get 'er, tiger!" and he went back to the room and she wasn't mad at him anymore and he was no longer addicted to tobacco. Maybe Mary Worth is summed up at the end of this

So I was reading some of the old Blackthorne reprints of classic Dick Tracy, and every other page or so there's a little space-filling strip with portraits of various characters, and who the hell is that person on the far right



Google has completely failed me, which is weird since I'd think someone, somewhere, would be dying to tell the world about the Dick Tracy villain whose face is a collection of drooping, sweaty cysts.

I can't remember the character's name but I think he's a guy who's deal is he wears this weird lumpy mask made of water-logged sponges and then he kills people by mashing their faces into the sponge mask and the police are all like, "How did this guy drown in his office!?!??!"

This is my favourite part:

Sketch Paree appeared in a Dick Tracy segment in an episode of the 1971 animated series "Archie's TV Funnies". Sketch was shown to be a notorious smuggler who operated a collectible stamps store as a cover for his criminal activities. He also had access to a shrinking ray.

It wasn't actually arsenic (arsenic isn't the one that tastes like almonds - that's cyanide). She was just trolling him while the sedatives kicked in.

Edge of Blotto



Who is surprised that Sam responds to Whatsername getting killed by getting drunk again? Good thing the bar is apparently made from wood grown in Galavant's Forest of Coincidence.

Esallen and Vorderbrug may dress their tale up in pulp trappings, but they just don't get pulp. A real pulp hero wouldn't bother with with this sort of weepy wallowing -- he would have run the assassin down and exacted fistic justice. But then, a chase scene through the waterfront of China Singapore would be hard to draw compared to Sam standing at a bar. Again.

M. C. Escher fans, try and figure out what angle the bar top is at based on panel 3. Everyone else, just gawp in horror at those faces.

anyway, Pros and Cons isn't up yet, so later.

Intermittent reminder that Edge of Adventure has been going on for almost 1.5 years and there's still no trace of all those characters listed in the about section, and that this list includes

Is Edge of Adventure actually published in any newspapers or is it one of those cases of "webcomic that is so mind-numbingly bad it goes in this thread"?

I'm not complaining, just wondering.
