It's like a 144 page art plate book. Well, not only plates, a fair bit of text, but a lot of full page pieces.

RIP, Mildred, this is why we don't taunt otherworldly beings who can drown us. At least not while wearing boots instead of proper running shoes.

You could do both you know. Just replace the vase and then tell her when she gets back. She'll probably be impressed that you went through the effort.

Tiggum posted:

I think he's a highschool student? I don't know if American highschools offer "art history" (but I don't think the Evanses do either) and Luann called it a "school project", which sounds more like highschool.

I think you're right. I'm pretty sure since leaving the kid center she's tutoring middle and high school students now.

Goddammit, Jules. I was actually kind of interested in the roadside tiger petting zoo thing. I don't give two shits about Rex Scorpius.

Speaking as someone who, like Team Evans, has done no research on what Van Gogh was like in his daily life, I don't think he'd write that.

Tiggum: Oct 24, 2007; Your life and your quest end here.

Intelligent Life is lazy, worthless garbage, but Legend of Bill is somehow much, much worse. And based on the relative level of effort on display, it seems like this is the one Reddick actually gives a poo poo about; he's just terrible at every aspect of making comics. Cannot do a single loving thing right.

Ok so I know Holbrook puts no thought into this, but considering these animals are "employed" at the lab, isn't this just knowingly hiring someone you know will harass your other employees? Is this a union busting plan or something?

Tiggum posted:

What's coloured gasoline?

I know in the US red diesel is road tax-exempt used only for things like tractors or generators.. Googling around apparently fuel of different octanes is claimed to have different color dye added but every source I found that said that includes "I can't prove that nobody does this but it's definitely not standard".

"There, right over the 'O,' just before the big drop -- that's exactly where he proposed."

The Cyclone was almost new when Wortman drew this, and still an important Coney Island landmark today.

Bonus Comic! This caught my eye while collecting Everyday Movies. It looks like a cheap knockoff of Out Our Way, but the creator's name is interesting -- Ed Dodd would go on to create Mark Trail eleven years later.

(also, I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a shadow or if "Windy" has the sort of Charlie Chaplin mustache that would become really unfashionable in about four years.)
