Plus, let's face it: It's always rivetting to be reminded of just how much terrible clip art there is in the world. The things us office drones have to endure just to snag a free sandwich from time-to-time. Yeesh...

Are there no walruses in that clip-art package?

Nobody ever informed Uninformed Bob about the the walrus.

Nobody at the airport ever noticed Scott's Wacom Tablet being lumped in with the baggage for Flight 409 to Austin (rhymes with Boston), TX; where it was found by a junkie slacker, who sold it to buy some "smack."

Reminds me of MegaTokyo's recent essay on the "5-minute rule" of fixing online comics: http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?strip_id=466 (under the comic, on the left)

But everybody noticed that I misremembered the title and got the name on the topic wrong.

Yeesh. I feel dumb.

But it didn't stop you guys from posting here. Haha...
Actually, I agree that scott should leave the funky panels in. They're a nice little trip, and deeply funny.

That woman should apply sand paper to her nose. She could accidentally impale her hand if she sneezed.

You mean, "Hooray, they're gonna do it." It's about time we had some good old fashioned smut in M.I.

I remember hearing as a teenager, that a women with a pointy nose is a nymphomaniac. Of course, I heard a lot of bubeh-meises about sex, at that age. My experience has lead me to the conclusion that it's girls with button noses who are the ones that "gotta have it!"

Every girl's "gotta have it."

Just gotta know how to...blow their nose, as it were.

I might be reading into it, but there are a lot of innuendos in the latest panels "Insert myself" "Roll over you" "you're soft".

Not to mention the fact that she uses "thick", "long", "firm", "stiff" and "rigid" in one breath.


I am SO reading too much into it...

Now I remember why I never go to comic book shops or conventions any more !! :oops: (Stop it, Guys !! I'm a Delicate Flower [tm]. Just like my idol, Judy Tenuta.)

Well, there's this and the fact that I sunk all my money into Real Estate and my cat's impending teeth-cleaning. If you wanna' get technical. But still...

As for "old-fashioned" smut, that'd be something like Joyce's Ulysses, wouldn't it ? Are Scott and David Lasky the same guy ? Can't be. I'm almost sure I saw them both in San Diego in the same room, once...

You're not the only one on this board with a dirty mind. I thought the same thing, right away, when I read it, too. The only words missing were penetrate, suck, blow, and buxom.

I suspect this is no accident. I suspect Scott is a red blooded, rock-ribbed, All-American perv; just like the rest of us.

Has anybody ever "done it" in front of a walrus (or brimly) before? Maybe you did, and don't even know it, because nobody ever noticed the walrus (or brimly).

Are walruses (or brimlies) voyeristic in nature? Is Marlin Perkins in the house?

Judging by the way this is going I sure hope the Walrus is a voyeur! Yay smut! Maybe the receptionist will let them borrow her desk.

Oh yeah - - delicate flower? *snigger* You mean like a pliant and supple blossom? Velvety petals bending and swaying in a strong breeze?

Heh. This innuendo crap is fun! :P

Imagine how much teeth cleaning would cost you if you owned a walrus.

I'm not familiar Joyce's Ulysses ("What else did she write?", asks Costello. :wink: ), because I rarely ever read anything that I can't finish in one session of sitting on the can ("Kirk Douglas" from the last improv could have finished War and Peace in there.) However, I do know all the words to Clapton & Sharp's Tales of Brave Ulysses (you should hear me rip into it in the shower - hoo boy), and I read Homer's Odysee in junior high (I had the schrahtskas that day), but I still don't know all the words to Page & Plant's Achilles Last Stand (you should really hear me rip into that one - oy vey!)

I was going to remind you gents that there were most likely ladies present, but as I suspected, they can fend for themselves quite nicely. (Delicate Flower, indeed!)

Eh, it's all in good fun. To be honest, I gave up acting like a gentleman when women gave up on acting like ladies. Even then I'm normally still too chivalrous by half. Hence my amusement - - most women try too hard to be one of the guys these days for me to take "I'm a delicate flower" seriously.

Delicate flower... hee hee, as in, a huge brightly-colored plant reproductive organ that practically screams "COME N' GET IT!" at every passing insect?

I was going to post about the comic "But No One Ever Noticed The Walrus" but I think this is the wrong thread ... gesh, the minds in here. Anyhow, I like the interlude panels. I laughed my ass off. I keep on looking at the comic like a "Where's Waldo" and saying there is the Walrus. I have a feeling that this comic is never going to end, except that when Bernice locks up at night and the Walrus is still sitting in the waiting room. The comic is kind of oposite of Gadot. I agree with Tim about the saturated line art. Nice. Anyhow, I will wait until the comic is done before making any more comments.

Shouldn't that be "When all else fails, liquor!" ?

*cues rimshot* Bah dump tss!

I'll be here all week, folks!

In any case, ouch, denied. But still it's nice to know I'm not the only dirty mind who immediately picked up on the lurid subtext in that batch of panels.
