Okay! After a brief intermission, we find ourselves back in Bloomington with our poor, Zombified hero. What’s to become of him? Only time will tell, but certainly this winged stranger must have a few powerful tricks up his sleeve. I mean he just kicked down the fourth wall? How many people do you know that can pull off something like that?!? Go ahead and try it yourself. I’ll wait.

So… how many of you just managed to fall down? Well, in any case, come back Tuesday where I promise you’ll learn more about the stranger and we’ll go about wrapping up this unusual bit of continuity in our usual one-off narrative.
Oh and Congratulations to Capes-N-Babes and I’m Not Bob for being the newest inductees into the WebComic Planet collective! It’s an new and interesting collective focusing on generating income to be used to get members out to conventions to meet/interact with the fans. I wish all the WCPC members great success!
Shall I sum up the difficulties of Holiday travel for you? Somewhere in this house is a blue thumb drive with today’s comic on it. It explores the dangers of vending machines. I can’t find it. Not to worry though, as the weather has been downright inspiring as far as comics go! I don’t know what it’s been like where *you* are, but this is the second day of sub-zero temps (without factoring in any wind chill), and I’m thinking that that is enough.
On a only slightly related note, I’ve decided that I really like that tune Baby, It’s Cold Outside. I’m not sure why… it’s just got that right mix of sultry and lounge lizard that appeals. I also really enjoy jingle punx, and am always up for the classics (Oh Holy Night, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, etc) as long as Celine Dion is *not* singing them. What’s your favorite Christmas tune?
Oh well, back to the search for the elusive thumb drive…
“Yes, Brittany. We’ll stop by the store and pick up your copy of Tales this evening.”
“No, Brittany, you have to do your homework first!”
“Yes, Brittany. You DO have to stop for dinner…”
“That’s enough! It’s bedtime! Turn the bloody game OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“
I am told by reliable sources that every gag-strip must break the fourth wall at least once, so we’ll just check this one off the list…
As per the politics, well…it’s hard not to make jokes when these guys make it all so easy. You know what it is though. Prior to switching to U-Verse, whenever American politics would start to bring me down, I simply switch on the CBC (which U-Verse does not carry) and laugh at the Canadian government. This always made me feel better about our own state of affairs. Not that there’s anything wrong with the Canadian government, mind you. Rather the Parliamentary system in general amuses me. It just strikes me as a huge ‘Sword of Damocles’ type of situation, and I am left to wonder how anyone gets anything done. Seems to work for a bunch of the world governments, though, so who am I to knock it?
