    As I know Batiuk is aware, Silver Age DC Comics creators would often come up with a cover idea and then develop a story around said art (one editor’s obsession with gorillas on covers, thinking they sold better, led to a plethora of simian-themed tales in the late ’50s and early ’60s). This, of course, is all we ever get from Atomik Komix.

    That being said, you don’t write newspaper headlines ahead of the news or even feature articles themselves…and who on Earth wants to read about people hauling their own leaves to the landfill? Also, didn’t Emily prove herself capable of writing punny headlines during her November stint, or was that now Amelia, too?

    Please tell me this ends tomorrow.

    Skip has discovered he is a twin also. His long lost brother, O. G. Wotasnozzle, the creation of EC Segar (of Popeye fame) found him on the internet.

    There now. Isn’t this more fun than ranting about free speech and book burning?

    Pass the popcorn and methadone.

    So this paper that was failing and now has only one worker, decides to hire a second person and her job will just be to write clever headlines? Sounds like a good financial decision.

    Oh,FW has a GoComics release date now—it comes out on Monday. And when the time comes,could we PLEASE be respectful about Bull’s death? My step-aunt had dementia,I’ve had a mental crisis from an epilepsy medication,and those comments can hurt. And understand that on the October 10th,2007 strip,Les isn’t a crybaby—he’s in awful grief. Oh,and one thing asking if you’re trans,what am I supposed to call Rolanda when she’s Roland in the early years? It feels weird seeing her as a guy.
