Here is.

"What is best in life Conan?"

"To spike the volleyball, see it bounce and hear the lamentation of the other team."

[Pharaoh RutinTutin 1,586]

The other Conan I know of has high nerd cred but is not beefy in the slightest

Would that be Conan O’Brien or Conan Edogawa?

[Pharaoh RutinTutin 1,586]

Never heard of Edogawa

[Darth Fluffy 302]

Why is no one searching for Justin's missing mouth parts? You don't want them sitting on the floor getting stepped on. Come on, Grace, pay attention. I know you don't have your antennae out, but this should be noticeable without them. You've had two comics to see that his mouth is missing.

It does make you wonder, how did he say, "Hey Conan" with no lips?

And Dan got a new sharp focus lens for his cartoon camera that makes the foreground fuzzy! Or maybe they are just fuzzy people? I feel like that, some days.

This rabbit trail is moderately interesting.

Seems to be an anime character.

Tedd used to spend a lot of time without a mouth, so Grace probably doesn't think much of it.

Probably the same way Tedd used to talk without a mouth. Maybe they're able to send out telepathic messages that the recipients can easily mistake for speech?

I though the only time Tedd had a mouth was when he was talking.  Need to re-read to make sure!  I've been thinking about doing an archive binge anyway.

I expect this kind of thing from xkcd, but Dan does art!

Manga that was then made into an anime, but yes, The series began in the 1990s and is still being produced. Anyway, Conan Edogawa, being a high schooler detective regressed into a seven-year-old body, very much fits the description of “high nerd cred but is not beefy in the slightest”.

I'm going to start an archive binge in a few minutes.  Notes about things I find will be in a separate tread in the "General" area.

I'm going to have to binge watch Conan to learn about the lamination of women.  "You are nicely preserved, my dear."

I thought I fixed that.  <scrolls up> I did.  

[Pharaoh RutinTutin 1,586]

How would "lamination of the women" differ from wearing tight synthetic fabrics on a hot day?

Well, glue and pressure I would think.
