Wayne: It's an open parenthesis: "(60 mph)"

The speed limit sign is odd. 60 MPH = 100 KPH, 100 MPH = 160 KPH (approximate). The sign looks like it's saying 100 KPH = 160 MPH, maybe it's just a reproduction artifact.

I love how the guys in the "911" drawing look kind of like slightly-mad versions (note the open labcoats) of Dr. Noah and his android, or one of his androids.

Thank you, Ed.

And for all the filks I neglected to thank you for, thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!

But really, for this one, thank you very much indeed.

The drawing of Helen+Mell for “Harlequin Romance” now makes me think of a certain otherworldly penny-dreadful that shows up here every so often.

(TUNE: "Winnie The Pooh", Sherman & Sherman)

Up on the plains of Canada,
Where winter is like a knife,
The province of Manitoba saw
A city that came to life ...

Where Harlequin Romance books are writ,
And folk dancers shake a leg,
If you want a home, then this is it!
The city of Winnipeg!

It's Winnipeg, ooh!
Winnipeg, ooh!
Pretty little city as flat as that,
It's Winnipeg, ooh!
Winnipeg, ooh!
Canucky, lucky, plucky ol' town!
