The so-called “broken cross” image of the peace sign actually comes from the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament’s symbol. They put together the semaphore signals for N and D to get that four-line figure. You can find the semaphore alphabet here:
http://www.anbg.gov.au/flags/semaphore.html
During Viet Nam, the symbol was also derided as a chicken-foot. The best use I ever saw of it, though, was in one of Mad Magazine’s “Hawks and Doves” cartoon, where Private Doves used a snowplow to make circles in the snow around some parked B-52s. General Hawks looked out from his office window and saw the BUFFs on the flight line transformed into peace symbols.
I was so comvimced that the pipe belonged to Hugh Hefner and that in the next view she would appear nude with maybe just a fold or two. And in her day, a couple of staples.
I don’t usually post unless I have some smart azzed comment but I do believe that the Flower animation is from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” and not Monty Python.
I’ve sent an email to GoComics about today’s missing FA. They do this too often, and it’s painful to the strip—- a little like waterboarding.? or more accurate…..Solitary Confinement .
Here we have more ‘love’ posted on Jim’s Journal on Feb.15th. I wonder if he is the mystery emailer?jeffc42 said, 1 day ago
Instead of Teresa’s obvious drug dependency (as one very astute reader pointed out), she needs to spend 24/7 just reading and absorbing Jim’s Journal. After all, she is the one who pushed it on to others.

Those were the days when people knew how to design cars. I used to love collecting the die cast models when I was a kid.

As a rule, creatures who can see in the dark don’t have much reason to be scared of the dark
The creature is some sort of hoax, although different sites say different things, Here’s
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/hoax-creepy-pic-claims-to-show-strange-creature-in-louisian-woods/
where it’s claimed to be either a Louisiana swamp creature or an excerpt from a viral ad for the “Super 8” movie.

FA and The Colbert Report both censored with no explanation. Conspiracy? Mutiny? Coup? Alien Takeover?
APersonOfInterest almost 13 years ago
Okay … its 2 pm here on the East coast … now I’m worried. Has GoComics decided to not post FA … or is due to a glitch?
