Tuitsuro:
I think bosom is the plural. Only... of what? A Bos? Are there two bos in a bosom?

So was Hitler, though.

...and with that, this thread has officially been Godwin'd.

Only thing that happened officially is another proof somebody doesnt know what Godwins law is.
Check it out on Wikipedia, its described nicely there (well, at least last time I've checked).

Wikipedia. NOW.

It's always funny when someone says that someone else doesn't know something, but in doing so proves their own lack of knowledge. Since you didn't bother to state the definition, I will; Godwin's law is that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." (I never have seen an official quote before, so I guess something useful came of you.) And that is exactly what happened, the idea Marigold deserving sympathy due to being human led to her humanity being compared to Hitler's. By you.
I'm just going to glide past comments from you from now on, because nearly every time I read them the palm of my hand makes contact with my forehead. Of course, I swore off reading them a couple weeks ago too and look how that turned out.

If by fully detailed you mean faces 'n stuff, then here, from the beer sledding night. I remember that this took a really long time too. I count seven. The other possibility is the coffee shop after the newspaper article on it.

It's a collective noun and should therefore take the singular even when there are multiple breasts contained within. The only way to have multiple bosoms is to be multiple people.
Also @LTK and westrim; whilst I remember the sledding comics, they aren't exactly what I was thinking of when I said the new style...
Heliphyneau:
I have a feeling that Dora's words to Tai before Marigold arrived at the party were something like "OK, you're totally gonna wanna bury your face in Marigold's boobs, but don't do it! She's shy and may freak out." I know, I know, unnecessary conjecture is unnecessary. >_>
It's really nice to see Wil, since he pops up so rarely these days, and I like that Jeph is doing a better job of distinguishing him from Angus. I mean, Wil's already been shown as taller and with a different shaped nose, but with the addition of facial hair and the now different hair color, it helps a lot. Angus could have been wearing glasses in that scene and I still would have had no trouble telling them apart.
Interesting that so many folks have been invited to this. It'll be fun to see everyone interacting (assuming Jeph is willing to torture himself for several nights filling panels with five or more characters), but within the context of the strip, it seems like Faye went a little overboard with the "This totally isn't a date with Angus so behold as I bury myself in enough friends so as to guarantee that nothing too intimate or personal happens" thing. No doubt epic wackiness will occur.
Wonder if they duct-taped Pintsize in a closet somewhere so that he won't "assist" Winslow . . .

Oh, new style. Sorry, here you go; six. Well, maybe five and a half.
