Anyone else notice that Madblood’s hand is on backwards when he asks for popcorn?

by the time this strip ran I was dating someone else. I didn’t think I had a chance with the evil Italian. He was way out of my league. We hung out every weekend and emailed constantly, though.
Did the poor schmoe that you were dating make any mention of the constant “evil Italian” presence in your life?

Those surgeons aren’t small, it’s just that you’re influenced by outsider art! You must have decided to indicate with size the hierarchal relationship of what’s important in the composition.

I just wonder if she’s tried the fomaldehyde part yet or what.

Leon: I thjink they're leaning on the "social invisibility" of madness and bizarrie, as detailed during Dave's visit to his brother.

Panel 3 made me flash on the Lost In Space movie. "Mother always said I needed to make my own friends..."

Of course, both Lupin's robots and his hologram do eventually rebel, while Helen's remarks lead directly toward "Zombie Woof"... hey, notice she's already mentioning Dave while out with another guy?

"The last time Helen walked down this path, on September 3, 2000, page 5,she was alone and dressed in men's clothing and soliloquizing aboutloneliness. What can we infer about Helen?"

Saturday’s Comic: Lamp posts and drifting leaves – an excellent way to send off the week. But are our misanthropic masterminds walking along a path extending infinitely into the distant horizon?

And the multifaceted McGuffin returns to view again. It’s been out of shot so often this week that any number of complicated shell game switches could’ve happened to it. Which reminds me: what on Earth are these two wanted individuals doing striding unmasked in public, openly carrying a pilfered legendary artifact?

The surgeons are tiny because they're far away down on Level 1. We are clearly up on Level 2 nearer to our protagonists. Antagonists. Whatever. Helen and Lupin.

Hmm. Or maybe they're tiny because of the distorting effects of the otherwise-invisible barrier Leon mentions. Yes, that's clearly it.
