Ain’t it great when you have something hairy land in your lap at work?
Started a new day job this week, seems to be kickin. Good co-workers, good duties. We’ll see how it goes.
Seems a few people got their knickers in a twist about yesterday’s blog post. Fuck ’em, don’t care. I’ve been doing comics a long damn time. I have said before, and I’ll say again: If something I say pisses you off, you will get exactly NO leverage with me by saying anything along the lines of “YOU JUST LOST A READER.” None. Zip. I don’t care. If my personal opinion means SO MUCH to you that you JUST CAN’T READ MY COMICS anymore, oh well. Namaste. I’m going to keep doing comics, and you will do whatever it is you do. I won’t even notice that you aren’t reading anymore. (The idea that I’d notice without your flouncing exit, stage left, is laughable. You, as a singular person, ain’t that important.) Frankly, it’s fucking self-centered of you to think that I need to agree with your opinions in order to produce a good comic. Don’t agree with my opinion? Get the fuck over it and move the fuck on. I’m just a guy, and I put my kilt on one leg at a time, like everyone else.
In other, NON-running-people-over SDCC news, I sorely wish we could have gone to this panel.
I have no idea what keeps people from putting a kilt on both legs at once.
Exactly. I’m not sure how you’d do it one leg at a time, frankly… since it’s a wrapping garment.
Now, is it that you’re not getting the joke, or that I’m not getting your joke about not getting the joke?
I was kind of wondering that myself.
A real kilt is five yards of wool, pleated, with a belt slipped underneath. You lay down on it, pull it around you and cinch the belt. Ain’t no way you put one of them on any leg at a time.
How much do you use once you hit puberty?
Not sure if this is a fat joke…
ahh, there will always be those people. I remember the story of the a range rover driver being pulled from his car and beaten in front of his wife and kids. Why? Because a dumbass brake checks the SUV and is mad when his back tire gets nudged (didn’t even fall) him and his palls surround the car and force it to stop and start towards the car. Driver panics and runs one over trying to escape. Chase ensues, SUV driver runs out of road, and is beaten by the gang in front of his family. Whole thing is video taped by one of the bikers.
People were posting all kinds of comments about how the guy deserved it. And when confronted with the truth, stuck their heads in the sand and refused to look objectively at the whole picture.
Bottom line, readers you “lost” are ones I would gladly lose if I were in your shoes.
Oh fucking hell…
This is not going to go down well. What I don’t get is where they got the info that they wanted to fire Sparkle Dark (I remember her more as “New Chick”) for her outside work activities…
Traces of accelerent? Of fucking course, it’s a gun shop. How many hundreds of kilos of powder and liters of oil are laying around in there.
We all could guess when Alex’s past was going to become a problem but the concerns about Heidi seem unusual to me. And Tom is just too sus to be left out of this right now. Omar having insurance still is a big problem though.
I think Nick is going to spend most of the next few months in and out of interrogation rooms and questionings.
Who’s Nick?
Mick’s evil twin, whom we have not yet met?
Damnit I was thinking of Mick. Names are so similar and I can never remember the names of fictional characters.
Well, yeah. 🙁
“I understand that you’ve been selling odd lots of weird-caliber ammunition out of the store. Care to tell us about that?”
“So YOU hired this pothead girl, correct? And you knew about her issues but kept her on because she was bringing in a lot of sales? Is money all that matters to you, sir?”
He didn’t know she was a pothead when he hired her. He asked her if she could pass a drug test and she said yes. OMAR knew she was a pothead… but he’s not involved any more. I think.
But yeah, how the hell does the BATFE know that they were talking about firing her, AND that she’s a pothead?
I’m sure they interviewed Heidi and Alex first, since they are the owners.
Alex probably kept her cool and stuck to what was legally required to divulge and said “Fuck Off” to any questions not directly related to the incident.
Heidi, on the other hand? Probably not so much.
I think they need a hot, blonde, buxom female lawyer to help them out, as if Mick needs another woman in his life…
I wish we had Whataburgers in Virginia.
We have a few Whataburgers in Louisiana, but I’m not going to drive 30 or 40 miles just to get 1.
I wish we had White Castles in Arizona. Wanna trade lunches? 😉
Don’t we? Serious? I thought For sure that I had seen one near me recently
The only White Castle I’ve ever seen in Tempe is in the freezer aisle at Fry’s.
Maybe I’m thinking of “Castle”, the sex-toy shop…
I keep meaning to try a Whataburger when I go south to visit my in-laws, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Are they actually any good?
Trade you a Whataburger for a White Castle. Or if that ain’t good enough, we just need another Braum’s further south of Hillsboro. Damn California expats, them and their In&Outs and California Pizza Kitchens and their Trader Joe’s. Next thing you’ll know, they’ll be trying to import the earthquakes they miss so much.
Don’t forget the Del Taco. Yuk.
Only good import to DFW from the left coast lately is Winco.
I used to eat ad Del Hell once a year to remind myself why I didn’t eat there more than once a year.
Don’t worry. What with fracking, Oklahoma had more earthquakes than California this last year.
Trader Joes is a little goofy and low on selection, but generally pretty high quality. In’n’Out doesn’t have a huge selection either, but good quality, and very clean kitchens. I have never seen a California Pizza Kitchen, is that a SoCal thing?
Could have sworn there was a Whataburger in Newport News, VA. . . of course, I haven’t been down that particular street in almost 20 years, so maybe it’s gone now. . .
Kilts are AWESOME!!!!
I so miss being in a Scottish regiment…. 🙁
Never had a Whataburger. Here we have Rte 55 Burgers (formerly Andy’s). Big, juicy, made fast, fresh, to order, and deeee-licious. Now, if only they’d put coffee on the menu….
“I suggest you put the nearest Whatburger on speed dial and a GrubHub driver on retainer.”
I wouldn’t drive 1 mile for whataburgers. We are down to 1 here in my home town.
Only one comic that I stopped reading because of a disagreement with the writer. And it was a big deal to me. Well at least it was a bigger deal to me than his comic.
Yeah, that is weird, how much they know about the current details of the characters’ lives.
…
Then again..
Heidi does have a history of videotaping things that should definitely be considered..within the private sector, so to speak.
I suspect her.
Not sure EXACTLY of what, yet. I just suspect her.
I hope that Omar didn’t leave his box of pipebombs around the workshop and that Mick’s Zip-Cannon was chopped into scrap PDQ after testing those shotshells
Namaste!
Just as long as you’re not crowdsourcing the plotline here Jay.
For a good plotline of the failure of a very successful gun store just look up ‘Kesselrings’.
One of the ways to spot a non-professional arsonist is to look for the one that is masturbating while watching the fire.
Aaah let’s see….35 gallon drum of kerosene for cleaning nagants, half case of 105 rounds that were supposed to be demilled for door stops back in the 60’s…..forgot to secure the powder storage locker……..and what ever else you can think of that’s in the back of any gunshop that’s got over a quarter century under its belt ! Kablooie might just be an understatement.
