Fixed (his early stuff was pretty serious—I mean, The Poseidon Adventure [1972] is only funny for those with a select sense of humor.
What about "Forbidden Planet", the movie Lost in Space and Star Trek have been ripping off for decades? It's hard to watch, because Nielsen being serious looks so much like his parody of being serious!

Fixed. Except Star Trek TOS also rips off The Enemy Below.
As for Nielsen, that's part of the shtick. I don't think he'd have been nearly so successful at comedy, especially in Airplane! and perhaps Police Squad and derivatives (namely, the Naked Gun series) if he hadn't made a reputation as a serious actor beforehand and approached the comedy roles in much the same way. To me, Nielsen's always funniest when he's perfectly serious and the comedy flows from the situation more than when he's purposefully doing slapstick. Thus Frank Drebin is funnier than Father Mayii, but less so than Dr. Rumack.

Last Night's poll: What's your favorite Cthulhu Cookie product? note: prolonging gorging upon Cthulhu Cookies products may or may not result in enhanced senses, occult powers, and/or enhanced physical abilities but will result in increased paranoia and, eventually, incurable insanity. Chuck D. Ward, Mngr.

Byatis Berkeley Bearded Biscotti     - 1 (3.4%)
Cthulhu's Great Old Chocolate Chip Cookies    - 11 (37.9%)
Daddy Dagon's Snickerdoodles    - 4 (13.8%)
Hastur's Royal Lemon Thins    - 2 (6.9%)
Gol-goroth's Triple Fudge Experiences    - 3 (10.3%)
Mama Hydra's Peanutbutter Pleasers    - 3 (10.3%)
Summanus's Sumptuous Shortbread Fingers    - 2 (6.9%)
Zushakon's Black and White Delights    - 3 (10.3%)

So over a third of you want to ~~be a slave of the great priest of the old ones~~ eat chocolate chip cookies. And one person either loves alliteration or craves biscotti—or perhaps both, excessive wretch. Mayhap that one will soon rue these hedonistic ways!

That's not an OMGWTF size coffee, thats like a medium at best.

Hanners has the whole apartment building wired. You know, just in case!

Tuitsuro · « **Reply #62 on:** 07 Jul 2010, 03:36 »

Yeah, but wired with what? Cameras or c4? Or possibly both?

I'm not entirely sure what Faye is doing, asking Marigold about Angus's fetishes. It's fairly obvious she wouldn't know. Plus it'd be Hannelore-brand creepy if she did.

Actually, he DOES have something creepy in his linen closet.

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #65 on:** 07 Jul 2010, 05:26 »

The answer's easy; she watched them move in through the spy-holes she has drilled through the ceiling of their apartment.

Unbeknownst to Faye, Marten, or the real-estate agent, this is why the last occupants moved out.

jwhouk · « **Reply #66 on:** 07 Jul 2010, 06:40 »

You know, if Dora stops to think about it long enough, she'll realize how Hanners knows what's in Marten's closet.

I mean, she helped her move in, after all...

Carl-E · « **Reply #67 on:** 07 Jul 2010, 07:13 »

And she's been over often enough. If simple curiosity couldn't keep her out of Dora's party favor box, what's to keep her from peeking into any other storage unit?

Coffee size; Large, but not extra. About 24 oz? Definitely less than a quart...

Nah, I look at those cups all day long. Her hands make it look like 20 oz at the most, 16 oz at the least. I didn't think it was unusually large.

How 'bout closet full of cat skulls on doll parts? ^_^ I really like the layout, perspective, and facial expressions/body language in panel one -- it says so much with almost no dialog.

Also, I now want to see a Super Big Gulp-sized coffee cup or mug -- or even a watercooler-sized one that comes with its own rolling cart! I mean, this is the Coffee of Doom shop . . .

It's early yet; they just erased yesterday's specials, and haven't put up today's. Faye hasn't even finished her coffee, and baristas are their own first customers!

I love coffee - the taste, the smell, the little oil slick on top - but due to a medical condition, I am a tea-totaller. Gotta get my caffeine somehow!

Jeph, if you're reading this, Dora looked the best she's looked (to me anyway) with the new hair so far in panel one.

Keep up the good work.

it seems to me that introducing someone with chronic insomnia and cartoonish ocd to a mmorpg is a bad idea.

raoullefere · « **Reply #75 on:** 07 Jul 2010, 14:43 »

For the other players, yes, yes it is. Maybe this is Marigold's revenge on Dale's group, the guys who fawned over the other girl player, etc.

I agree that the coffee needs to be at least half again bigger to reach OMGWTF proportions. Unless, of course, Jeph feels it's too small.

And screw the anthropc chassis; Marten's had much stranger things in his closet.

So it's not canon. Sosumi. Besides, I enjoy Steve's appearance there on quite a few levels.

raoullefere · « **Reply #81 on:** 07 Jul 2010, 22:15 »

Something that really struck me about today's (soon to be yesterday's strip is that Faye tries to thank Marigold not by simply thanking her, not by the Gunga Din approach*, nor by a silent look of respect before moving on to other things, but by trying to get Marigold to conspire with Faye against Angus. I can't figure out if this simply is the best Faye can do as far as being friendly goes (which is sort of sad) or delusions on her part (since, lesbian innuendo aside, MG's far more likely to 'side' with Angus, is she not?).

Meanwhile, I wish the new poll would go up. I've been…

Hold on, that's me, isn't it? Sigh Prepare for something half-assed. Okay, more half-assed than usual.

Yesterday's Poll results: If word gets around abut Angus’s head games with Hanners, next thing you know, we’ll see:

Dale using it to extort cooperation from Marigold via his WoW organization Werve (We Exploit Rumors Vilely and Excessively)    - 1 (3.4%)
Hanners deciding Angus has outlived his usefulness.    - 6 (20.7%)
Dora mentioning her daydream of taking on four guys and ‘winning.’    - 3 (10.3%)
Tai countering with her own ‘victory’: she once ‘overcame’ seven with one lick.    - 6 (20.7%)
Faye punches Angus for no particular reason. (Granted, we’ll probably see this anyway)    - 8 (27.6%)
More oblique references to Shelby (Jeph’s giant dog).    - 5 (17.2%)

So a slight majority of you favor the veritably certain. Note on Tai: She (or I) didn't say seven of what.

My wife tells me that even women who actively dislike each other will pass along warnings about creepy men. If Angus were, say, keeping whores in his closet (excuse me, pantry), then it would be normal for Faye to expect Marigirl to give her a heads up.

Back in the days of the 240, 260, and 280 Z's, they were sold in the USA under the Datsun brand. Sometime after the 280 but before the 300, Nissan dropped the 'Datsun' name and sold cars as Nissan's.

i've actually heard it's pretty good. though they could have at least had the good sense to call it 'the kung fu kid'.

i get the sense that today's strip comes from jeph suddenly realizing that he has used coffee ship as the same plot device three times.

Faye's "refurbished Starbucks employees" line made me giggle. I have a vision of a warehouse somewhere with ex-Starbucks being trained with cattle-prods. "This is coffee, but this" <zap> <zap> <aieeeee!> "is untreated sewage. See the difference now?"
