Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
I wish him much luck in his new venture. I canāt bear to think of those poor girls just sitting around, unable to marry, because of their unfortunate condition.
I agree, Old Wolf. Never so happy to pick up the complete works of Don Martin in two volumes; what a trove of zaniness in drawing and memorable sound effects.
Iām sorry to read that. Your Mother must be so disappointed. She was hoping youād find steady employment. I do know several others who left for Guam at the same time that you did, perhaps their qualifications might be better suited to the task. Iāll have to look around for something more in tune with your special qualifications.
Took me a day to get it, but I finally put this strip together with Teresaās comment.

A comic about writerās block, and then not being able to publish a comic for a couple of days. Ha!
Still unsure whether it was meant to be funny or whether she really has writers block. Perhaps sheāll start posting sooner now that some one āgot itā?

Gunsel- a boy who is the victim of assodomy (nice)
In the Maltese Falcon, Elisha Cook Jr. (who was very short) plays a tough guy with a gun following Bogart. Upon meeting Sidney Greenstreet, Bogey refers to Cook as a āgunselā. To hobos and criminals, an in-joke. To the rest of us is just sounds like slang for guy with a gun.
Dashiell Hammett wrote that joke; the movie was filmed verbatim from his novel.

In a similar vein, it should be noted that Godzillaās distinctive roar has been spelled in comic books as ākreeeeeonk!ā

I take todayās strip to mean: after all of her editing and erasing, there is nothing left of what she originally wrote and drew (blank)

So has she reached enlightenment?
Or is it writerās block?
I often find the difference hard to distinguish.
Canāt help noticing sheās a lefty. You know weāre the only ones in our right mindsā¦

Since Teresaās gender (is she really a man?) has come into play in recent days, todayās strip makes me wonder if Teresa is shooting blanks.

I was all gaga over the girl in white in the 1912 photo until I took in Tina Louise and then suddenly I wanted to put myself in her hands.

Iām viewing todayās strip as an important message about self-censorship. If you worry too much about the effort, you wonāt have anything at all.
Except for the erasing part, I feel like these panels could be snapshots of me when I was younger. :) Thanks, Teresa!

No collection of obscene sound effects is complete without reference to Don Martin.

Saw that Don Martin collection the other dayā¦ almost picked it up. I donāt think itās complete, but it is very representative.
Iām sorta waiting for a complete Dave Berg collection, myself.

I have a problem with that Chinese sign - itās photoshopped. The giveaway is that the Chinese is mirrored, but the āEnglishā is correct.
It should read:
åøęŗę³ØęčÆ·äøč¦ęēŖå¤å±é©ē©å. č°¢č°¢.sÄ«jÄ« zhĆ¹yƬ qĒng bĆ¹ yĆ o rÄng chuÄng wĆ i wÄixiĒn wĆ¹pĒn xiĆØ xiĆØ
Literally:
driver listen - please not want throw window out dangerous article thank thank
Or:
Note to drivers: Please do not throw dangerous objects out the window. Thank you.
Now, itās entirely possible for a bad translation like that to take place - but the character for āanusā is č or čé - gÄng or gÄngmĆ©n - and ē©å (goods, articles, material or commodity) doesnāt come close in any dictionary Iām familiar with.
Eagleskies Premium Member about 14 years ago
Very interesting, Old Wolf. My guess would be that āthank thankā = āthanksā?

I thought Vocaroo would involve voice recordings being combined with pictures.
You all want to impress me? Figure out how to use Slideshare.net and make Teresaās comics into slide presentations with voice-overs.
It can be done.

I dunno, Radish. I donāt think the bubble girl looks as demented as Danae.
But you could be right.
