--- Quote from: Akima on 21 Jul 2010, 23:46 ---OK, it must be art, because I can't understand it. But Faye in the fourth panel is fantastic.

I *think*:
a) Marten's a mafia don
b) Faye's his wife
c) Angus is a private dick investigating the suicide of Faye's dad (which we see in FB, with her collapsing to her knees)
d) Faye has an affair with Angus, and Marten walks in on them

Still some bits I'm missing (what the pictorial speech balloons are meant to say, f'rinstance), but that SEEMS to be the gist.

His Woyzek/Wozzeck comic was fantastic once you worked out how to read it.

Which would be simple if we had some clue as to what it's based on. As far as I can tell it's talking about tentacle porn. You can really only get it if you've already seen whatever it's based off, making it sort of an in-joke. As far as I knew the charm of QC was that anyone could get it even if they weren't into hipster indie rock, but this sort of goes back on that and says you can only understand and enjoy it if you watch a lot of postmodern German art films, or something.
TL;DR what's it based off then?

--- Quote from: raoullefere on 21 Jul 2010, 23:37 ---I have only a vague idea what's going on in this comic (as usual with the guest strips from this artist), but I'd guess Sam Neill must've enjoyed being in that film—I suspect he digs working on freaky pics.

--- Quote from: Carl-E on 21 Jul 2010, 13:28 ---Oh, there was something special about Genghis.  His holdings stretched across most of Asia and into "Europe" (OK, Turkey, so it's debatable if that's Europe).
--- End quote ---

And he's the only ruler to have been portrayed by John Wayne. :-D

And, my god, it sucked. Even <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnes_Moorehead ">Endora[/url] couldn't save it with her magic.

I'd ask you to explain Mr. Neil's presence in Jurassic Park III then.

But man - the Conquerer was a really bad movie - Mongol was much better.

PHeller:
I think we're all to accustomed to Jeph's "punchline" comic style.

Today's is just "look at it and admire the pretty pictures".

Unless of course you've seen Possession.

Varian7:
Thank you for recognizing and naming the film behind the guest comic!  I now have at least half an idea what's going on.  Note: It is the 1981 film Possession, not the more recent ones.
