Wait—is that Marko from Saga? Where's the Lying Cat to help me figure this out?

Spoken like a true Sontaran.

WHICH OF MY ACCOUNTS ARE THE GIMMICKS AND WHICH ONE IS ME?!?!?! [Breaks mirror]

Maybe I need to go back and watch this—I remember appreciating that it was a very unconventional comedy, but not really enjoying it. What turned me off was the extreme cynicism, which starts out as gleefully malicious and seems tired and dismissive by the end. The naive town is pulverized by a movie crew, which is a

Just wait for the Guardians of the Galaxy film.

You're supposed to add your ages together. Combined, you were probably old enough to fit in.

We can only hope.

Nailed it. These two sentences are the best and most thorough review of Gone Girl that I've read.

@avclub-33235e3d066bad95b6eea457826f7507:disqus : Trask's major was anthropology, but he minored in building giant mutant-apprehending robots.

Yeah, that movie is probably fairly vanilla sex, for robots.

Moon Boy was so regularly pounded, stomped on, and thrown off cliffs that I'm surprised you didn't enjoy it more.
But now you make me want to go and find the Englehart issues of Cap.

Which, actually, made total sense if one of them was The Thing. But he did that

SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH

When they name an airport after him.
Or a country.
Or a PLANET.

Devil Dinosaur was among the first comics I ever bought, when I was in first grade.
Mind

Blown.
For years, the splash panel in issue #4, showing a multi-limbed cosmic dragon roaring through the sky to devour the sun (essentially how Kirby thought the dinosaurs would perceive doomsday) stuck in my mind as one of

So @avclub-6a2ec3076bb494e5c64eb1a422d9fe3d:disqus , if you're a charming, socially adroit, hygienic programmer, you're all set. Go ask for that raise.

A friend of mine was some kind of systems development manager, overseeing a large group of programmers. He told me that he had the most secure career in the world, since he was the guy his company sent to meet with clients and discuss what they wanted, then go back and tell it to the programmers. His company would

@avclub-18f18df4a6146deb1b97c2c944b9660c:disqus I wanted to weep with sympathy at your comment. Even if you had a reason for wanting to stand in front of a subway door (maybe you're getting out at the next stop), wouldn't it dawn on you that you're making it a lot more difficult for every other person around you to

The hot dog guy? What about him?
