Shaenon: “I remember writing this and being very amused by the idea that both cassette tapes and the band Air Supply predated the Biblical creation. I think most people just found it confusing, but oh well.”

Me: “Wouldn’t those be 8-track tapes instead?”

Thanks for the update, Sarge. I was getting concerned. 🙂

Hi, everybody. Sorry about the update delay this weekend. WebComicsNation is having problems with its server host and I haven't been able to upload new comics.

As soon as the problem is finished, I will be putting up comics and commentary! I have an amazing new photo for Sunday!

Well; when one is a Heavenly Being, mere humans *do* tend to reek of inferiority...

(TUNE: "The Rose", Amanda McBroom)

Ariel, we do not need you
To come ... and make amends!
Ariel, I beg and plead you,
Because we once were friends!
First an angel, then a demon,
And now a mortal man!
Though obscene it may be seemin',
It's me ... I'm Caliban!

And I'm living with these fools, yes!
Humanity's my fate!
Sacred souls can be such tools, yes,
In their angelic state!
I'm a human, quite complete now,
From head down to my toes!
I'm a sack that's made of meat now ...
I know ... it's oh, so gross!

Friday:

Silent penultimate panels: 46. I at first thought today's episode was a callback to a previous transformation reunion (Dave/Future-Helen? Mell/Man-Artie? Dave/Dave-Helen?), but I have to conclude that it only seems like it because this dialog could fit in pretty much anywhere.

This also reminds me that Caliban really doesn't have it as bad as he might be feeling at the moment.

Leon Arnott, "belly-up" is used frequently in US English. "Pear-shaped" is much more distinctive.

The weight thing was my first thought, too. Wait, my ONLY thought - Pear shaped = screwed up hadn't crossed my mind at all.

In my defense, I'm not British.

Well, gluttony is a sin...
