Yeah, I agree with your rumination. As for that narrative voice…pretty much every choice Tom's made about the comic has proved to be a great improvement on everything, even years down the line. You could even look at the super-stylized art in the opening chapters as a choice that allowed Tom the freedom to really…

Sam & Fuzzy gets mentioned a lot in recommended webcomic comment threads on the net, so it's sort of been on my radar. When it comes to new webcomics, I actually prefer to do a deep dive into the archives. I'll be giving this one a read soon.

I'd been anticipating a chapter inside The Court's walls from Coyote's perspective. Tom definitely didn't disappoint. And you're right, he captures the persona and point-of-view of a trickster god in the human world so perfectly.

Definitely, all artists improve over time. (I hope!) But almost every Gunnerkrigg recommendation I've seen has included this warning. Partly because landing on the current page and then jumping to the first page can make people think they've come across two completely different comics…but mostly because the art style…

(The pear tree is also a mutant.)

I've been putting off listening to the more recent episodes of Conversation Parade, since I want to re-watch Stakes before I hear what John and Mike have to say about it. But I'm glad the topic was broached with Muto.

Even though the show's shifted its focus away from Finn being the center of most episodes, it still seems to embrace the maturation process a human of his age would be going through. His long-ago desire for PB covered first love and loss, his experiences with FP covered adolescence, and all along the way he learned…

Let that go unchecked, and it can lead to anal gwarts.

"ffd"? For fuck's dear?

There's that team devotion we've come to expect!

Gonna have to start Haydn from the pun battle about to start.

You'll read the news someday, oh boy.

Torgo as Heisenberg. I like it.

Sorry to be a pedant, but…

I prefer my Christmases lightly Murrayed.

Publish or perish, I guess?

This seems more like complaint better leveled at niche music consumption and the voracity of devotees than at The Beatles themselves. Putting it in the anti-Fab context just makes it sound like the screed of a guy who had been saying "enough already" to The Beatles back when the "20 years ago today" remembrances for…

Shit, that was both out-of-nowhere and predictable at once. Still a sad thing to find out, despite the fact that I had almost no personal connection to the man's music.

Bad hops: The bane of brewmasters and infielders alike.

I sure am.
