Okay so what’s happening in the last panel is a reference to the show “Fist of the North Star”, a cartoon about a denim-wearing superhero wandering a post-apocalyptic wasteland and using his incredible martial arts to solve problems. Every so often he uses a Special Move and the action freezes while the name of that move is displayed on the screen. Also a narrator shouts the name. So, yeah. That’s what I was trying to do. I just copied the Japanese characters straight from the show, which my household was very into at the time. [June 12, 2012]

guess I got told
they stare at me a lot, and I’m not comfortable with that
Interesting Times Friday Mailbag: "Unspoken Anguish"
"Apathy is the only real way to beat the system."
(thanks to TW for today’s comic!)
Hey so uh, guess what. My computer and internet connection are in transition,
and I am apparently unable to supply new comics from my tiny laptop.
So it’s a rather unexpected Guest Comics or Nothing At All Week, Volume 2!
SADLY,
I don’t have very many guest comics at all! Like, maybe four more! And, aside from a day or two when I’ll be able to fill in, this outage will likely continue until the end of next week.
SO: If you want to see your work up on the site, your chances are pretty good if you throw something in right now. Check out the directions and get started!
Also, make note of the special Bonus Guest Comic Challenge that I have created!
