There is actually such thing as a scarlet emerald, more commonly known as red beryl. It isn’t the same thing as a ruby, which is a red sapphire.

In reply to Metal Fatigue (metalfatigue). I'm not Justin, and it's years later, but... A blue ribbon!

Reading Friday’s comic, specifically Mell’s comment in panel 1, the first thought that came into my mind was, “That is the sound of ultimate suffering…”

Which makes me wonder, does Helen have six fingers on her left hand?

In reply to David Harmon (mental_mouse).

I’m not a Stephen King fan, so I’m hardly an expert on the subject, but from what little of his that I’ve read, he’s a good writer when he’s not writing as “Stephen King the horror author”. Cases in point: The Running Man (under his pen name of Richard Bachman) was excellent, and Eyes of the Dragon was very good. ‘Salem’s Lot, on the other hand, was overly long and drawn out, and some of his other stuff just goes for the gross-out, which is technically not horror per se, but splatterpunk.

As for good, mess with your mind horror, I can’t recommend H. P. Lovecraft nearly enough. Yes, his stuff is dated by today’s standards (he was writing in the 1920s & 30s), but it still holds up pretty well, all things considered. From Beyond still creeps me out, The Dreams In the Witch-House is a good mind-screw, and classics like The Thing In The Mirror and The Outsider are delightfully Night gallery-esque. And Pickman’s Model… {shiver} Just can’t get enough!

I agree with you wholeheartedly about Cabal–both the original novel and the movie (Nightbreed) are excellent, even for non-horror fans.

No patience to read through all the comments here. The Steven King short story referenced in the commentary for Monday’s strip is “Survivor Type.”

Two possibilities on the orbiting laser and dave pointing to things on the console. Either the laser fires from earth and is redirected,which seems unlikely, but would probably have allowed Helen to use a commercial launch service to get the satelite up (Most launch capable firms or countries frown on weapons, at least if they don’t control them)The second posibility is more likely if she had her own launch vehicle, is simply that the control console has the ability to pull up a schematic of the laser.Finally, the satelite must have a camera so you can target it, using that camera to confirm the kill is no big deal.

Justin said: [i]Does the government know that it's possible to come back from the dead? If not, then why did they never prosecute Dave for "Faking" his own death?[/i]In order to fake a death, said death has to be reported. Who in the lab is going to do that?
