Mr. Alvarez must be paying homage to the dozens “Gesundheit” panels done over the past few decades in the “Off the Mark” panels by Mr. Parisi. Well done!
MonaxLisa< Have you read the description of this strip? it reads “Mark Tatulli renders this pantomime strip in pen-and-ink style” Pantomimes, or “Mimes” do not speak. So, there ya go. Enjoy!
While probably not for the same reason, I agree with revtry’s comment. I see marriage as unnatural, and that is what Narcissus wants here. What is natural is what one would do without preconceptions or indoctrination by any societal influence, whether political or religious. I think Robert E. Howard was who said, and I paraphrase: Barbarism is the natural state of man, Civilization is unnatural and ultimately barbarism shall prevail. Mating is natural, marriage is not…it’s a by product imposed through indoctrination by an unnatural sense of being civilized.
What did David do, go on vacation? this is a lazy way to fill in a week of strips. I mean really using the same drawing over and over again, and simply changing the text in the box? Cheesy, man, real cheesy. But hey, I still love the comic!
Thanks Amaak…It makes sense now! I was wondering what was falling from the sky…raindrops? jellybeans?? and how was she changing them the gems…D’OH!
