Oh yeah, I'm a Sergio Aragones fan. He's one of the reasons why I still buy Mad nowadays (also Deep Hurting, who does work for the magazine).

His "Sergio Aragones Funnies" comic book is a blast; sadly it's ending with issue 12 next month, although Mark Evanier says they're working on a new comic. I also finally started reading "Groo"

Did the "Funnies" comic ever get a collected edition? I'd be all over that.

She's going to report Les for acting in self-defense? What was he supposed to do? I mean Knute's the one who just grappled him from behind and Les just punched him back and walked off. And why are they insisting on pursuing and harassing Les some more? God this comic.

And my point is proven! That smarmy rear end in a top hat overheard them talking and now is going to go home and setup his snipebot to gently caress this bitch over. Why? Because he's sick of hearing her talk about how she keeps getting free comics because she knows someone in the military.

I hate you funkyverse but I can't stop reading you :(.

No, what's going to happen is, the reason nobody's made a bid after he did is that guy recognized her on ebay, because she used the screenname "wallysmom" or something, and told all his nerd buddies who were bidding on the comic her story, so they let her have it. And Batiuk thinks this is poignant and moving, because he didn't stop to think about how condescending it would be to show Mrs. Funky only being able to succeed in her quest because of male comic fans watching out for her.

We were given our class rankings every semester. This led to a hilarious conclusion where the guy who had been in the top spot all the way through high school got displaced in the last semester by somebody else, and gave the most petulant, phoned-in salutatorian speech ever.

Also, I'd like to remind everyone that Leslie Knox's last villainous act in the strip was to try to take a whiz in the boy's bathroom.

Eh, close enough.

Nobody calls it "San Diego Comic-Con International", though. It's "ComicCon", "San Diego", or "San Diego ComicCon" if you're writing an article or something. Batiuk has actual comic professionals ghost for him occasionally, so I don't know what the deal is.

You know, around the time of the Les and Cayla Get Married storyline, I pointed out how Batiuk started drawing her differently as soon as she became engaged to Les -- before then, she wore her hair natural (in fact there was an entire storyline where she stopped straightening it and her daughter told her how good it looked natural) and her features and skin were drawn colored differently. Maybe I just expressed myself badly, but everyone in the thread jumped on me and called me a racist with remarks like "Please, tell us how black people should wear their hair?!" But what I was complaining about was that Cayla used to be that rarity among newspaper comics, a person of color who was recognizably drawn as such. The only reason why I am even opening that can of worms up again is that the whitewashing of this character now that she's Les' wife has reached a ridiculous new peak. This is seriously supposed to be the same person? Now she looks like Jennifer Aniston with a light tan.

This is true. I was the CIO of a small health insurance company years ago, and saw it all from the inside. We used to expend large amounts of time making sure that you didn't get money from us, because, hell, we we're trying to make a profit here. The "for profit" logic applies to many other types of insurance too, but health insurance is, by far, the worst.

Anyway, Brooke had the point hammered home, countersunk, and painted over by last Wednesday, and it's just old now.
