I don't know what you're talking about. I'm the delicatest flower of all.

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

Um...wow. Honestly, I'm a teenager and did not see any of this.

I was thinking world distruction my self. He falls asleep in the office, there's an atomic bomb coming, everybody else goes to the shelter, and he's left behind. A bit gruesome, I'll admit.[/i]

The walrus really hasn't been waiting all that long. I'm shite at reading numberless clocks, but it hasn't been much over ten min. or so.

Geez, Stuart, when will you get the picture? Pirates are so passe.

(sigh) There is only how much artist worship you can have before they do something to crack this poor fan's heart. Pandering to the pathetic comic geeks by using humor of that ever so classic cliche, "office tension leads to passion," is just low. Scott, you have now proved to all the Beavis and Buttheads out there that they were right when they said, "heh, they are going to do it, heh heh heh." Your comics have not been this low since your tribute to violence, Destroy!! At least that was a tounge in cheek parody of the upcoming tend of modern comics. This however is just sad. Have you never learned anything from watching TV? If you relieve the sexual tension, the show goes down hill from there. How long did Moonlighting or even Caroline in the City last after the main characters hooked up. They were canceled the next year. It is a curse, Scott, just avoid it.

Regardless, I still enjoy your comic and look forward to more updates.

Ah, don't listen to that guy, Scotsalah. We love All-American Sex and Violence, dag nab it! Just add some dope smoking, and you've got a winner, by cracky. Low brow humor is what made this country the world power that is today, consarn it!

The moral of today's panel:
Act like a stuck up, imature jerk-off, and you'll get laid. Act like a pirate, and you'll get knocked on your ass.

Curse yer britches!

I've been wondering if Scott's been doing an unannounced experiment with this particular improv of drawing the panels under the direct influence of comments by people about what they thought might be coming up next.

Nope. They were always going to kiss.

Not that *other* comments haven't influenced me. The Wally=Walrus comments alerted me to the fact that I'd inadvertantly picked the wrong name, so I changed it.

I'm still waiting for my Zwol No-Prize, boys. My operatives have been scouring White Castles across the country, and have found nothing. Don't force Pharoh to call upon the Lybian Axe-men.

That was not me you just quoted!

Just for the record, I was not being dead serious in my last post. I was hoping some humor would show through as well as my thoughts on falling for the cliche.

White Castle. Gack. The only surer sign of the impending End Times than that would be Krispy Kremes. Bleah.

That's because you're not Tom Hanks or Billy Crystal and 99.9% of the world's women aren't Meg Ryan. Someday, you will appreciate what a blessing it is not having your life scripted by --shudder !-- Norah Ephron.

That still leaves (roughly) 6,302,486 women in the world who ARE Meg Ryan, so the odds aren't terrible.

Going for the cliche isn't always a mistake. Certainly, when you're trying to pass a cliche off as original wit, that's a problem. In this case, it's more along the lines of parody. We're watching a typical office comedy minidrama unfolding. But that plot really isn't the point. The point is that in the background of the mini-melodrama, there's a walrus.

Hmm ...

I guess I could go with that.

My apologies.

I've corrected the post.

Being a sloppy J.O. doesn't work either, I find.

Frankly, I'd rather be Janeane Garofalo. Getting in the last snappy comeback is much more important than getting Tom Hanks, if you ask me. YMMV.

Wait a second...we almost stopped noticing the Walrus. Hmm.

He looks embarrassed.

Ahem.

Goo-goo-ga-choo.

But actually, if you look at the words sheet that comes with the Magical Mystery Tour cd, you will see that the words are, in fact, goo-goo-ga-joob.

But no one ever mentioned the walrus
