Personal drama seems to be rearing its ugly head at my workplace. One coworker just got fired for begging off work at the last minute one too many times, leading to increased workloads for the rest of us (fine by me, I'm hourly, but I worry about her). And tensions seem to be rising between two other colleagues, each…

Captain Boomerang by a country mile. Sure, he's an ass, but he treats the Squad with the exact amount of seriousness that it deserves. He's thrown in with the monsters, psychos, and super-intense brooders, and he's all "Fuck it, you can force me to go on ridiculous spy missions but you can't make me care." Godspeed,…

I finished Day of the Tentacle Remastered, which was wonderful through and through, and probably won't have a lot of time for gaming for the next week or two. Yesterday I fired up Team Fortress 2 after a long time away and discovered that I had more or less forgotten how to play. I jumped into a match, got killed, and…

I've been far too busy to write things. Which is mostly good, because I was busy doing things for which I am paid money or that may lead to money in the future. When things calm down I imagine I'll get started on my next comic script.

I imagine that President Calvin Ellis swung by to say hi at some point during Multiversity.

You take that back about chocolates!

Well, this is officially my favorite Reasonable Discussions header picture, to the surprise of no one.

And of course Witherspoon would go on to star in The Boondocks, where hatred of Soul Plane ran hot.

*looks at calendar*

Oh Bismuth, you are a REGULAR CHARACTER!

Oh, no, I wasn't addressing you directly. I was piling on to the joke about how Sour Cream tanning is pointless. He's the kid fighting a losing battle.

Allow me to educate you!

I do like hijinks.

That is a losing battle, kid.

SOLOMON GRUNDY WANT PANTS TOO!

I'd doubt it's even possible. As far as we've seen, fusion requires some measure of intentionality from both partners, which the corrupted Gems don't seem capable of.

It's hard to think of characters that Connie wouldn't be fun with. Onion, maybe? He's not much of a conversationalist.

It certainly raises an interesting question: how do you respond to an enemy that is genuinely, demonstrably superior to you in a fight, who can do everything you can do but better? The obvious answer is "bring your friends," but in the moment, when that's not an option, it's a conundrum, and one that can be just…

Cartoon Network released a clip from that episode before the Nuke, I believe. I guess they see it more as an excitement-builder than a spoiler. I wonder how much their target audience cares about such things to begin with.

Now that I think about it, I'm surprised that Sadie took Amethyst-as-Lars so well. Especially with Steven right there, who should have mentioned that impersonating Lars is a really bad idea.
