gangler:
Les Stroud is awesome, but I have to believe I'd eat more than him if I were in a lot of the situations he goes into. Sometimes when he's in areas where food is scarce it makes sense for him to be hungry, and then sometimes it seems he just enjoys being hungry. Bear Grillis is initially more cinematic but his program is ultimately so formulaic that it grows stale quickly. Also most of what he does is inherently ridiculous. I think he'd be less ridiculous if they stopped calling it survival and went in more of a Crocodile Hunter type direction or just some manner of televised tour through the wild which happens to involve campingesque components.

Hanners would immediately melt down from the uncleanliness of the situation and how many ways it defies her various neuroses killing everyone during her episode. She'd probably remain feral for a solid six months or so before coming to at which point she'd start creating more comfortable living conditions before methodically navigating her way back to civilization. First thing after getting home would be a boiling shower with bleach and steal wool. You'd better believe she'd come out clean.

Method of Madness:

He shouldn't, I wasn't pointing that out as "ERROR", I just thought it was amusing.  And your explanation works, especially where what I thought was part of his goatee was the same color as his (slightly lighter) head hair, so instead of sometimes having a crazy awesome metal goatee, he just has that tuft on his chin and long hair.

Also, I wonder how many main/recurring characters have stretched lobes.  Definitely Dora, Tai and Amir, and I think Raven, but I'm not quite sure.  Any others?

Blood-Tree:

--- Quote from: gopher on 06 Aug 2011, 12:18 ---As for the story being a bit directionless when your main protagonist is goal-less it is kind of inevitable.

Yeah, that's some truth there.

My point is that we have almost 2000 strips of Marten ordering coffee at CoD, and it would be interesting to see the comic take a really different direction, perhaps by taking the characters outside of their normal environment. I realise that I'm comparing apples and oranges here, but it would be great for Jeph to do something like the Great Outdoor Fight from Achewood, y'know?

The band-tour/roadtrip from Sordid City Blues also comes to mind: http://sordidcityblues.com/archive.php?chapter=051

idontunderstand:
Yeah 2000 strips and nothing happening AT ALL.  :psyduck:

And for that matter why the hell didn't George ever get off his ass and become an architect?
