Amiable Dorsai

NP Comic for Thursday, Aug 29, 2024
The best way to get a strike is to use one of those old timey cartoon bombs as your bowling ball. You have to time it so the wick burns down just as the bomb ball arrives at the pins. Your strike will damage the pin setting mechanism, so you'll have to change lanes, but fear not, you'll be thrown out of the bowling alley long before you run out of lanes. Also, be sure to bring a lighter.

 
Diane, unfortunately, was unable to reconsile the Seven - Ten split.
Ten went back to academics in the Decimal division of Applied Mathmatics.
Seven formed a business partnership with Eleven.
 

 
 
Would make the presidential debates a lot more interesting.  Plus we would find out who get's the firemen's vote, based on which ass flames they put out first.

Given that he sees his opponent as a cow, this would seem to be a high steak environment.

Fortunately, Susan did not speak before Grace introduce her to Jay.
Otherwise, she may have Hi-Jacked the comic.

I'll be here all week

She has magical narrative focus.

I am seriously wondering how much of a mess Pandora left her memory, expecting Hope to sort it all out later.
Pandora left the keys to her brain under the mat and Hope walked in without getting the realtor or landlord to sign off on preexisting damage. 
 
 

My thought is  that a perhaps unexpected side effect of Pandora trying to retain her memories is that she feels horribly inadequate, always comparing what she is to what she was.

Shouldn't those boxes be classifed as Hope Chests?
 

Comic for Monday, Jan 15, 2024
So Hope lives in a supernatural room, and changes her clothes magically, but sleeps like a human and dwells in the physical universe.
Cute that she cares that Justin and Luke, both of whom she barely knows, are happy. "I (as Pandora) marked you, now I am responsible for you"?
Does she breathe oxygen, and how does the room get fresh air?
. . . So, up to now, the cast was Hopeless, and now they are encountering Hope.

 
The currency she uses is good enough to pass inspection by a kid working retail.  But still I wonder . . . .
Perhaps world economics are run by inhuman forces that are unconcerned with human law, ethics or morality.

She didn't want Justin to know that she knows him, so she carelessly calls him by name.  
Hope really needs to talk to someone about a whole lot of things. 
But whom can she trust? 
Three may share a secret if two are dead. 
Or
One may keep a secret as long as that one is not Hope. 
 

Maybe she should read the comic, to get some background on them.

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.

 
I see Tedd running a series of Comic Book ads promising to transform your eyes from 56 gram weaklings to Olympian Oculars in less than a year for only $99.98. 
 

Truth, I suppose without a damned good moral compass (I know).
Changing topic slightly, I wonder what Tedd would see if he "looked" at his Dad in negotiation mode?

You don't belong at this desk!

Does the comics authority still censor issues where the characters get stoned?
 

You get a Lamp of Diogenes and use it for lighting in Plato's Cave. Once inside you cross the Einstein-Rosen bridge to where you will find the box with Schrödinger's Cat. The replacement blades lie right next to the box.

Tedd wants the 1976 Dorothy Hamill Wedge.  As a reminder to the value of simple machines.
 

It will get the attention of the witnesses themselves, if they have access, the clerk, for instance. If he reviews the video, he's going to see a different set of customers than the ones he vividly remembers. Not sure what he can do with that information, but if is surely a weakness in the plan.
 
It is odd that they intrinsically think of them as 'royalty'. If they intend to go back, then maybe Liam is off the hook, but their appearance in the comic does not bode well for 'zero interaction with the natives of the EGS realm'.
 
They should not be activists in the EGS realm, though, should they? Maybe mlooney has it right and they intend to go back to fight their battles.
I wonder, how did they get their intel on what were the norms and what was acceptable on this side.
 
I like 'illegal aliens', it has a Firesign Theater cache to it.
Mist in the guerillas could work.
 

The pushing wasn't the problem. It was the poking.
