She has some serious prison-tats. I'm surprised she hasn't had them redone.

I don't think people in BC have any resemblance to US desert-folk. We're way, way mellower.

British Columbia is a totally weird and perfect blend of Washington, Oregon and California. In terms of climate and culture, Vancouver is basically Seattle, Portland and San Francisco mashed together (but not as awesome), and our rural folk are mostly the reasonable kind, not the crazy red necks.

So they were going to do a little vignette but the dad just blurted out the part about the cancer and so the mom was mad? And then she started telling the news straight and he went back to the joke so she got mad again? But the dad wanted to tell it straight so why would he immediately revert back to the joke since…

But why are they pretending to be Breaking Bad characters? And why is she mad at the dad for running with the joke by saying she's cooking meth? Wasn't that the whole point of being Breaking Bad characters when making this phone call? I'm probably just stupid but I genuinely didn't understand what was going on here.

I'm so confused. What is happening in this comic? Can someone provide a panel by panel annotated explanation?

It seems like people are taking this guy seriously, when he's quite obviously just running with the joke simply because people are taking him seriously.

It's not much of an argument to say pheromones exist even if we can't prove they do or observe them, because other phenomena can't exist without them. It's sort of the same argument people make about God.

I like how he's extra moody because Robin is dead (I mainly like the part that Robin is already dead so we don't have to deal with him in any movies).

The Feds should hand the land over like they are demanding. Then, Bundy can watch while it gets purchased/leased by big agri-business, mining, and logging interests, and he completely loses access to it under any terms.

I think it's essential viewing for the sole purpose of watching Josh Brolin flawlessly pull off a movie-length impersonation of Tommy Lee Jones.

I'm actually not faulting his movies - I think Men in Black and Bad Boys are perfectly fun and enjoyable movies. It's funny though that he sees himself as some artiste as opposed to a standard issue studio movie star.

I'm not sure why people have an extreme aversion to Melissa McCarthy, but if you don't have that you'll probably enjoy this. It has a good ensemble cast with good comedic chops so even if you are lukewarm on her it's not like she's the only feature of the movie.

"I had so much success that I started to taste global blood and my focus shifted from my artistry to winning."

Nope, wrong again Dan. Your words have a plain meaning, and you can try and backtrack and dilute what you said, but you're moving the goal post. You can either defend your statement that there is a high frequency of mental illness among the most creative people, or admit you didn't mean the statement as strongly as…

Sorry Dan, my problem is that I am reading your words and assuming you mean what you are actually writing, as opposed to some invisible subtext that must be interpreted with some kind of decoder ring. When you said "the most creative and noted artists in history have very often been stricken with various emotional and…

Yeah, this is complete and total bullshit. The idea that being depressed or anxious or having OCD makes you particularly creative is dangerous gibberish. It's not an argument we have to resolve, but it's a bizarre stereotype to have. Creative people can have mental illness, or not, but to say the most creative people…

She really combed through a lot of history to put together this piece.

It sounds to me like you have misconceived my comment entirely. My comment was pretty clear - my opinion was that, in this specific case, a diagnosis of two specific kinds of mental illness seems unlikely. I never said there were no functioning, employed people with mental illness - quite nothing of the sort.

It's about the futility and frustration of trying to find answers to questions that cannot be answered.
