Panel 3: Henry, Faye, and Maurice's facial expressions absolutely cracked me up!

Also, Marten looking like he's about ready to fall over 'cause he's laughing so hard is really well done! Awesome job with the artwork!

I heartily approve of this comic.

Jeph's doing so much better with the facial expressions lately (and in particular this strip) that I'm prompted to ask a question about Henry. Does anyone else think he looks as though he's not enjoying the party nearly as much as the rest of them? He looks a bit... bemused.

I think that's because he's a guy in his 50s or 60s hanging out with a bunch of 20-somethings.

In the first panel he looks like he's having a good a time as anyone. In the second panel he's got a "this is probably not a good idea" look going, possibly because of the ralphing to come. In the third panel, where he's smacking Faye in the ass, his face looks amused with a semi-smirk. I think he's having a good time.

I'm more of George Thorogood fan myself, but as Bon Jovi goes that one's all right. If say it had been "Walking on Sunshine" by the Bangles I might have been more horrified.

That's Katrina and the Waves, dude. Don't deprive a one-hit wonder of their one hit. (I suppose Bangles may have covered it).

Faye, when will the mindless punching stop?

Love today's comic. It's such a good description of a drinking night, with little disconnected bits of memory from panels 123 and then an URGHHAAAH morning to follow.

How can you POSSIBLY be disappointed over Wanted Dead Or Alive? The most awesome Bon Jovi song ever!

And even if it wasn't, like the title said, it's required at every karaoke night.

It's not so much a "WTF" expression as a stereotypical British butler's stoic "don't judge" expression. I think the Awful Revelation's boss was spot on when he hired Wil.

I interpreted it more as an "O...kaaaaay then" look, but I could be wrong.

If he looks bemused it's probably because (like me) he can't figure out how people can get THAT excited by Bon Jovi...

Apparently not: the only reference I can find to any Bangles' cover of a KatW track is "Going Down to Liverpool". Which is on the Bangles CD that I own. Because I like them. Why are you looking at me like that?

I also like KatW's "Walking on Sunshine". It makes me feel happy.

Stop looking at me like that!

"Love Shine a Light" was bigger in the UK, reaching #3 in the UK Singles Chart versus #8 for "Walking on Sunshine". But "Love Shine a Light" was also the UK's Eurovision Song Contest entry for 1997, so let us never speak of it again.

First off, I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to Katrina and the Waves for incorrectly attributing their song to another group. This is inexcusable and could have been avoided by Googling it.

On the other hand, do I really need to worry, or are they on this forum ready to smash me down?

Or does Jeph have both groups on his iPod?

Killbot · « **Reply #69 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 18:36 »

As we can clearly see in this strip, gays are NOT homosexual (there's no such thing as homosexuals). They just want to corrupt whatever is good and pure. If this means coming on to a heterosexual woman, so be it. I've seen it happen numerous times. I LIVE IN SAN FRANSICKO. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. So don't say I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, I do.

Not always. One time some friends and I got home after a night at the bar. We decided chocolate chip pancakes would be a great idea. Two of us throughly enjoy them. Brandon on the other hand still turns a little green when you mention pancakes.

As for Killbot, i think Jeph is taking the Zap Branigan aproach and letting it reach it's pre-determined kill count it which time it will shut down and actually become rather plesent (hate to say it, but i doubt it will work).

Nos that I've looked at panel 2 again, I'm pretty sure that's Henry's 'here goes another pair of shoes' look (he's also the only one, judging by the bubbles, who isn't inebriated yet—fixed in the next panel, presumably by more booze). To me, Wil looks as though he's trying to determine who this older guy is who look so much like Marten. It's possible no one's been introduced yet.

Also, even with more proportional eyes, no character in the strip can emote 'distressed' like Hanners.

A final note: we know how Marten feels/felt on the subject (seems like he got a grab in somewhen), we've had opinions from Ellen (Steve's ex.), and now Henry succumbs. Is Faye's ass really that irresistibly smackable? Also, is 'smackable' a word?

LTK · « **Reply #85 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 22:45 »

'Smackable' is a delicious word.

Maybe Marten told his dad how Faye's butt jiggles and wanted to try out for himself.

chocolate chip pancakes are the cure for the hangover blues. Its not some sort of chemical medicine, it just tastes good and makes you feel better inside. Plus getting some food and water in you will help out tremendously if you have one of those "pray for death" type hangovers.

How did Hannelore cope with getting sick? In the cold light of morning, the idea that her mouth had been full of barf should have curled her up into a tight little ball.
