"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

and that the same guy founded both Atari and Chuck E. Cheese's!

You mean the latter isn't officially the work of the Devil?

In goat news...

Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday.

And yes, the 757 is now flying

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I saw that before.

I keep picturing Mal kicking the goats into the 757's engines....

And ita would be on the other side of the engine, waiting for pre-cut goat that she could curry.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Do you freeze up in front of them and NOT LET ME OUT? Because if you do, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get revenge for that earworm because I'll have to kill you.

Since I didn't freeze up at the Giant Revolving Door of Death at the Hyatt, then I think I've justified my continued survival. Really, though, I think that door was trying to do us a favor by keeping us out.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Since it's a drafting class, I'd just go with, 'if you're going to draft it, you'd better understand it." And also, being able to see how these processes/machines/diagrams are drafted gives you great examples of How to Draft.

Batman by Dostoyevsky

Time for another forgotten classic from the vast Again With the Comics archives. Here we present Dostoyevsky Comics, originally printed in Drawn and Quarterly #3 (2000), and currently out-of-print, as far as I know. Crime and Punishment, originally written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, was brilliantly adapted here by R. Sikoryak, as seen through a Dick Sprang Batman filter. This marriage of Classic Russian Literature and the Caped Crusader of Gotham also serves as further proof, if any were needed, that everything is better with Batman.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

Heh. I have the D&Q #3. It's about ten years older than they say it is, though.

What's next - Superboy by Kafka?

In the same vein, Sikoryak did a comic strip of Camus' The Stranger with Superman as the protagonist.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

One of my neighbors was explaining to me how she can astral project.

My head remains intact.
