Not if they can avoid it. We see this all the time; if the company can avoid the licensing/insurance/inspection regime of the traditional business, they do and they claim they are saving the customers money by cutting “unnecessary regulation.” If they were to start doing everything they should as far as customer…

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who saw the meta of the situation, and it felt like Peter and Johnny were Marvel talking to the fans in the last few panels.

Disappointed that Deadspin’s coverage of this did not mention the commission chair by name, especially when his name is Dick Pound. Is this a dad blog for dick jokes or what?

This is a very interesting (and sad) story. Definitely worth reading the whole article.

I love Wonderfalls with all of my cold, shriveled heart.

I see where you’re coming from now. Good read.

There isn’t a single decent parent on this show, from The Countess, who is the supernatural mother of her vampire family and who throws her children away when they begin to bore her, to John and Alex Lowe, who have a living daughter they both seem to have forgotten about, to Liz…
