Serious problems

Yesterday Ed Power (writer of My Cage) left a comment! He seems to be a stand-up sort of guy, and I'm glad I have only good things to say about his strip. Now, if Stan Lee ever found me out, there may be trouble...

I doubt any teenage boy would know what "voluptuous" means, let alone use it in a sentence. Furthermore, we can see some of those clouds. If they all look like voluptuous women to that kid, then he really has some seriously deep problems.

Jeremy Duncan joins the ranks of cannibalistic comic strip characters, and Zits isn't even a zombie strip.

What, exactly, is she telling Frankenstein's monster to do himself? The list of things one can do with a severed hand is very short. Unless this is some sort of allusion to masturbation, in which case... what the hell, Eek? Do you want your audience to be Universal Monster fetishists and borderline necrophiliacs?

Uh, just because you bought them doesn't mean that you'll get them any faster. All he has to do is walk to the library and retrieve his book, and he'll be reading it by dinner-time. Not to mention the fact that he's getting his book for free, and when he goes back to the library, he can get another book for free. Also, if you're buying books that fast, you've got a serious problem.

also, the "pear" computer is weak and, wow, a joke about buying stuff online in 2009? what's next, a reference to the y2k bug?

I think you may be a little mixed up Mike. If every random bulbous object doesn't remind you of boobs you're either gay, or NOT a teenage boy.

Ah, but it doesn't specifically reference boobs, but the entire woman. If the kid was just like, "That cloud reminds me of boobs" then there'd be no problem, but somehow, he's seeing a voluptuous woman in each and every cloud. Which is the product of a diseased mind, in my opinion.

Also, Optic, if we were to dwell upon every outdated joke on the comics page then we'd literally be here all day. =)

it's outdated, but is it really a joke?

Actually... if you buy ebooks, you can get them right away. Unfortunately, that means you have ebooks.

I definitely have a serious problem then...I usually buy 4 or 5 books at a time from Amazon :) Altho, I really don't think that's a problem. I just love books

Batgirl - It wasn't so much the quantity of books (as I have also bought many books at a time) but the speed in which the books were purchased which is the problem, as the whole conversation probably took about... oh... maybe thirty seconds?

Unless there's mitigating circumstances. There may very well be.
