A Larger Than Usual Number Of Deletions And [NSFW] Tags
Man, what’s this about Chicago’s airports being shut down? I gotta fly there on Sunday. Grumble, grumble.
- Clever idea of the day: You Damn Kid’s recent return means that we are getting new strips three days a week and vintage strips (with commentary) on Thursdays — in essence, two entirely different strips. But today, Owen Dunne has combined the two into a form — like Voltron — that is greater than the sum of its parts: the strip-in-a-strip [NB: right now it’s the front page of the site, but by Monday it’ll have a different URL, which I’ll update eventually].
Original Kid/current father to the New Kid is reminiscing about his own childhood, and clicking anywhere on the current strip will bring up the vintage strip from
history2005¹. Or, if you’re very brave, you can check out the uncensored version [NSFBrain]. Long story short, it’s a clever idea. - When Dylan Meconis — whom I love more than anybody except probably her wife and maybe her mom — and Matt Bors tweeted earlier in the week about deer porn, I was torn between really wanting to see that and never wanting to see that. As it turns out, some comics at The Nib feature entirely innocuous titles that do not indicate what you’ll be seeing. May I suggest that in future, rather than Prequels All The Way Down (clever wordplay, no argument) [NSFW if you’re a deer], this particular comic be instead called Warning!
Lark’s Vomit!Deer Porn! - Let’s go out on something really excellent: Bad Machinery book 3 exists in at least a few corners of the world, and will hopefully be available through the engines of commerce sooner rather than later. Or, you know, December. Fires! Jack and Shauna’s romance reaches its peak! The Mystery War is over. Get caught up on the story, then get your preorders in because this is the start of Bad Machinery really hitting its stride, with each subsequent case somehow getting even better.
Spam of the day:

Man, fuck Wal*Mart.
