She can also make them human so lmao at asking them what flower they want to be. "I was hoping for something short lived with minimal day to day care. No, even less than mice."

Unironically a body horror villain with an abyss of a soul.

Holbrook doesn't understand what genre he's writing. If this were a dark comedy it might work fine. Like you could have a Scary Gary strip where Leopold is planting some flowers, Gary comments on how nice the garden looks, and then Leopold tells him each flower contains the trapped soul of a discarded test subject and they'll die in agony when winter comes while Gary frowns, and that would work fine. But Holbrook thinks his Mary Sue super-scientist is a heroic figure.

I enjoyed how this whole sub arc about bailing on the prophecy to find Swee'Pea ended with "he has been on the boat drinking milk this whole time lets get back to the other thing." Makes me wonder if it was just a diversion to deal with some writers' block or something.

I played tennis in HS very badly. But I still somehow got letters from 4-5 schools asking if I wanted to come play tennis for them, sight-unseen. Even at 17 years old with an ego the size of a blimp, I was so bad at tennis I immediately pegged them as some sort of scam. Very, "I would never join any club that would have me as a member."

It's weird that this is the second time the strip has closed down a business only to reopen it.

I can't tell if he keeps doing it because he can't stand change and regrets it too much to not undo it, or because he just really likes the idea of resurrecting old places.

I scored real high on the PSATs of all things and got a lot of letters from big name schools praising my "academic excellence" when at that point I was failing one class and sleeping through the others because of my part-time work schedule. I laughed, and ended up attending the inexpensive community college nearby which felt absolutely no need to blow smoke up potential students' asses.

I wonder how long it took Bob Montana to realize he'd flipped which arm Jughead broke, and how long it took him to decide to stick with the left arm rather than go back and fix it.

e. He breaks the 180 degree rule in panel 2 -- I wonder if panels 2, 3, and 4 were mirrored to keep the motion of the eraser going from right to left.

Feels like a bad comparison to me since bee stings mostly only kill people who are allergic to bees. Maybe should have picked like getting killed by deer or something. I'm just assuming deer kill more people than skydiving; I'm not looking it up.

Deer kill the most people of any animal in the US and therefore are truly the most dangerous game.
