What is it, if it's not a monkey?
But no one ever mentioned the walrus

To revert to an earlier topic -- I have an mp3 of Shatner singing with Ben Folds. Folds liked Shatner's work, so he wrote Shatner, who sang "In Love" on Folds's CD "Fear of Pop."

Feel better Scott! By the way, intentional or not, you are still entertaining- your comments for Sunday stretched your table and moved a number of panels out of alignment, so all of us are literally not able to see the IM straight. Comics as empathy aid.

I wholeheartedly agree, and I suspect it's the pace of *updates* that's the primary cause of it. "Walrus" is a slow strip by its nature, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be as torturous if you were getting 2 or 3 panels per day as you ordinarily would be.
I'm afraid that this cluster of trips I've been in the middle of (six trips in five and a half weeks) plus my current illness, means that what extra panels I'm able to draw are used to create backlogs in prep for my away time.
The good news is that once I return from Korea (Nov 6), I don't have any other travel planned until February! Hopefully I can get back to a more proper pace at that point.
Anyway sorry for this temporary detour into Mollasses-Land.

Sorry for the delay in response....
I too see a cruel turn of events for our tusked friend. Sigh. It's like waving back to someone who is actually waving to the person standing directly behind you, much to the amusement of both.
Lukily for the walrus, I don't think anyone will notice his embarrasment.

Yerp. Sure does. I think it was just your comments of the day that stretched the table.Tim, does it look okay now?

Ooh. Claire Pettibone sells lingerie.
Dr. Dennis Pettibone teaches history at Southern Adventist University.
There are other Dr. Pettibones on Google, but most are dull.
Scott, did you know a Dr. Pettibone?

Dr. Pettibone? He looks like Dr. Mengele. One of those cold and creepy, effete Europeans you like to see get wacked before the end of movie.
I wonder if Dr. Pettibone is treating Scott's recent illness.

Actually, after Thursday's panel, it looks like the doc is gonna whack somebody himself. He has that look of malicious evil in his eye. Now the question is, who is the intended victim of Mr. Monocle?
My guess is that it's Mr. D. Of course, then, and only then, will someone finally notice the walrus, and pin the murder on our poor brimley; while the evil, foppish foreigner slips away to a country without extradition.
However, I've been known to be wrong...on rare occasions.

Actually, since this is really a story about agonizingly long, drawn-out, and (probably) futile waits, the slow pace works perfectly well for me. Gives it a sort of real-time feel that, while admittedly frustrating, actually makes the whole thing funnier.Scott McCloud wrote:I wholeheartedly agree, and I suspect it's the pace of *updates* that's the primary cause of it.

Monkey Town dragged for me, because it was a fast paced story presented at a slow pace. Walrus is a slow-paced story presented at a slow pace, so I have no complaints.
