Wasn't Ted the one who was like, "Mid-life crisis eh? Boring life eh? You should cheat on your wife, John. I do!" If so then good on the wife for leaving that POS.

Yep. He was the guy that went on for what appeared to be an entire day about how awesome it was to sleep around on his wife.

So are we going to get a story about how Piro broke her trust (so she will be free to get together with Gunther), or will it be a story about how she assumes Piro stole the TV and wrecks whatever friendship they had on a witch hunt (and then she's free to get together with Gunther)?

Hello again thread! I have just caught up the close of last year's thread after an absence and have a lot of comics ground to cover on this one...

...anyway, once I'm caught up, I might have something to post. I have a copy of Supposed a Knave by Kierhan Meehan, a graphic novel featuring the characters of his excellent strip Pros and Cons. I would like to post it here, but I don't know if that's cool. The content is obviously thread-relevant, but is posting a graphic novel spinoff considered :filez:?

Probably, although I hate to say so.

Hope you like twenty-year-old movies recorded off the TV that you can barely watch through the static. Actually, you'd be lucky to get even that, it's probably already broken, and if it isn't then it will be as soon as you try to play one of those tapes in it.

You know what's a great way to show how tall someone is? Put them next to other really tall people.

Also, I've always wondered about some of those paralympic events. Why is there a running race for blind people? Why didn't those four just go in the real olympics? They're obviously fast enough to qualify.

I don't think Sluggo's poverty is supposed to be a joke, it's supposed to be endearing.

He doesn't live in a cardboard box. He lives alone in an abandoned house that's probably horrendously unsafe for anyone, let alone a child. Because he's too proud to accept charity and all the adults who know him respect him too much to force charity on him. :rolleyes:

No charity, except for all the family dinners and other assorted things he gets from Nancy, Fritzi, and Phil.

Somehow it really irks me that the VHS tapes could be from the 1990s like Friends, Ducktales, TMNT, Batman cartoon et cetera and it would be believable, but Gilchrist gotta Gilchrist.

It irks me that Sluggo is head over heels for Charlie's Angels, but somehow an aerobics lady is completely disgusting to him.
