Lonis Edison's expression in the middle row's far right panel will follow me to my tomb.

Just me or does he look a little like Karl Rove?

If they start calling Lonis "Turd Blossom", I might actually start crying.

SO MANY WHALES

When I first read all these strips individually, on the day they came out, I missed hell of details and harkening to the past.
connellingus » pro2 years ago
Yeah, this strip really deserves to be rated higher just for revealing the origin of Mexican magical realism after all that build-up.
zeal » neu2 years ago
I didn't understand until just now that it was Lonis making these Magical realism products. Astounding.
cracklewater » neu1 years ago
...and I just realised it when reading (for the third time) the line:
"They didn't need cuspidors with low self esteem. I fled to Mexico to continue my work away from public scrutiny."
Then, I rushed to Acheworld to see if this inference could be confirmed by the learned.
I thank you.
tripperday » neu1 years ago
I also just realized this. It's amazing what you can miss the first time you read through the archives.
lucid » pro5 months ago
I enjoyed this arc immensely. Mexican magical realism can be a bit of a get out of jail free card as a plot device, but it always brings the entertainment.
And Lonis' vernacular is really well done, very pleasant to read. I'm kinda sad that it's unlikely we'll meet up with him again.

I thin everyone would be happier if they could create a perfect sine wave of ketchup.
saru » pro2 years ago
Thank you!
boredom_man » neu2 years ago
The taste of ketchup on frankfurters is not the aspect we find interesting.
farqussus » neu2 years ago
With what would you have us garnish our dogs? I keenly await the miriad of absurdities you are about to suggest.
norrec » neu2 years ago
I could care less what people put on their wieners, whether it is ketchup or pancake syrup. I see no reason to get so worked up about food.

I don't recall you being asked, Mister Take Everything So Serious of Modesto California.

You mistake my apathy for seriousness :)
old_chap » neu1 years ago
Here, norrec, you dropped these: n't.
tekende » pro1 years ago
YES. THANK YOU. That is a big pet peeve of mine.

How do you know that there's absolutely no way he could care less? :-)
norrec » neu1 years ago
Oh thanks :)
My bad
atticusonline » neu1 years ago
norrec thinks that forgetting to put the "n't" at the end of couldn't merits a "my bad"
farqussus » neu1 years ago
a "my bad" warrants a "n't"

A "My bad" warrants a hanging.

The bar I go to does cheddar and jack cheese, onions, and chili. Very good.
pogo » neu1 years ago
Ever have a Chicago dog, dogg? Mmmmm. Mustard, onion, relish, pickle, hot pepper, tomatoe and celery salt.
shutup_shutup » neu1 years ago
Cream cheese.
tonyhighwind » neu11 months ago
Mustard, onions and relish. Either that or enough chili and cheese to make one wonder if there is even a dog to be found underneath it all.

I for one wouldn't mind going back to waiting for a haircut to listen to the latest songs.
tekende » neu1 years ago
To be fair, most of today's "latest songs" really suck. But I think I would get a bad haircut if I had to listen to, say, Fall-Out Boy's newest single during a haircut due to the rage-enduced shaking my head would undergo.
boredom_man » neu1 years ago
Isn't that ironic, don't you think?
tekende » neu1 years ago
I don't see how.
boredom_man » neu1 years ago
Um, because I'm under the impression that Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" is still one of the latest songs?
shutup_shutup » neu1 years ago
Chubby for being remarkably and aggressively behind the times.
crinklebat » pro2 years ago
The crazy thing about old Lonis is how damned cute he is. Even when he's got his scheming face on, I just want to squeeze those little cheeks.
stuart » neu2 years ago
Except in profile, which makes him old and freakish.

I think the best time for it would be while disrobing in order to have sexual intercourse.

It's true, we invented America primarily because we were so tired of crapping in the dark.
falseprophet » pro2 years ago
"America hated waiting for a haircut just to hear the latest songs."
The phonograph was a way to get your barbershop quartet fix while your ears were still high enough to truly appreciate them. Classic.

"Shaped oddly, like a perch with a cramp" is by far the best descriptive statement ever made.

I just noticed the foreshadowing of the ketchup stuff with Bensington pulling out his UGHHHHHH Hunt's Ketchup. Fuck Hunts.
