Bound and Gagged by Dana Summers for August 23, 2010

I’ve heard about those lost cubicles…

Don’t they have the tomb of the unknown cubical dweller?

the closet division of Acme industries

Speciman?

where is his Pocket Protector

Did he get an anvil dropped on him?

@ napaeric - that “cubical” dweller’s a real square. LOL

Yes, NoBrandName, “speciman” is the word used when referencing human remains. Anything else would of course be spelled specimen. And yes, specimen can be used as the plural of speciman. Now please pass your homework to the front and open your songbooks to hymn 41.

Thank you, MrJimCos. I have once again learned something at Gocomics….

does wile e. coyote know acme is out of business ?

Looks like it’s been gnawed on by a coyote.

@MrJimCos Re: Speciman

You sure about that? Speciman doesn’t show up in dictionary.com, nor does it appear in the Oxford English Dictionary. (The OED link probably won’t work unless you’re at a university or something similar.)

In fact, one of the few “legitimate” places I could find it was on the blog Typo of the Day for Librarians.

Man, Wile E. must have really been angry that day.

This is a great comic strip!
