Think about it - she's planning on coming back tomorrow, but what we are looking at, we can be led to believe, is "Mimi's Last Coffee" - ie she's not going to make it back the next day, for one reason or another.

Clilling, isn't it?

Whoa-oh. Here it comes gang! How did YOU know that? I predict, hoping that it is not true, that Frank = Sean's other personality, or something like that, which is how he knows. Don't you let me be right, Scott McCloud - if you make us love your hero and throw him in the mud we may never trust him a...

A bucket-sized mistake, that one.

It should be mentioned that the literature of the Koran sees the world as divided into two distinct realms - the Zone of Islam and the Zone of War, and since you and I are sitting (with high probability) in a non-Islamic state, guess what? We're in the Zone of War. Insofar as "religous tolerance" i...

That's because they were Moors, and not Arabs. Islam originated with the Arabs, and they quickly went around converting everybody by the sword. A bit later, the Arabs fells out of power, and the power in the Islamic world shifted to the various peoples the Arabs had conquered and converted: The Moo...

Greg, I know what ?troll? means, and I used that word because I meant it. If Rip really enjoyed ?a good argument?, then he?d engage in good argument ? he?d argue from facts, he?d avoid overly-broad slurs, etc. Instead, I see him compiling lists of irrelevant complaints against various actors, and c...

I think Scott just opened a box of Lucky Charms and started drawing. I mean, even Scott wouldn't bother crafting a dozen meaningful bucket symbols. I don't know, Rip will certainly take the time to say something personally negative about each of 30 or so (no, I didn't count) different celebrities, ...

There is an element where this is at least an incomplete allegory, as they all are I suppose - but if this was the true modern political situation, the red and blue kittens would be switched, as "red" has come to mean people and states that support Republicans, and "blue" people and states that supp...

Second, you may call it "propaganda," but the exaggeration of certain ideas to their logical extremes as a means of political commentary is a time-honored tradition. We call it "satire" and it's a very respectable form of art. Whether you happen to agree or not. Hmm... this is the first time I've p...
