How the HELL does Pintsize know what type of Currency International Arms Dealers prefer to use!!!

Obviously Pintsize has been doing some shady things as of late.
And really that's the kind of question that gets people disappeared, usually by international arms dealers.

--- Quote from: Perfectly Reasonable on 23 Nov 2016, 13:36 ---So May's butt is still khaki? How did her face get bleached? Was it the Noodle Incident?
--- End quote ---
I get the distinct feeling I'm missing some subtext or reference in what you are saying (which would be appropriate enough, given that you link to the Noodle Incident page). But in case this is a straight question and not a joke that goes way over my head:
I think she's referring to her face being the ONLY part of her skin that is still khaki. The butt would presumably be blue right now.
And her face didn't get bleached, when it was repaired, only this particular skin tone was available. I assume she wants her face to be blue again to match her body's general skin tone (can't blame her, I still get Uncanny Valley-ish vibes from the way she looks...).

Sorry to mislead. Only her face needed repair, so her butt is presumably still blue. Her face was khaki tan for a couple of strips. Then when she next appeared, it had changed to dead white, no explanation given. Which is why I made the Noodle Incident reference. Maybe Jeph felt she didn't look Uncanny Valley enough.
edits:
May has the khaki face in 3174 and 3 following strips. (The only other choice was orange) When she reappears in 3299, her face is the present white.
neurocase:
I know it's something of an ambiguous term (and that I'm, in part, analyzing the yearly turkey comic) but the turkey's use of the phrase "evolving relationship" in reference to Bubbles and Faye intrigues me somewhat.
Tova:
I can see that the commentary on today's comic will put a damper on our relationship.

--- Quote from: Jakk Frost on 23 Nov 2016, 08:08 ---I never did understand why some Americans say "That's phony as a two dollar bill" when I know for a fact American $2 bills exist and are legal tender.
On today's comic, I love how Pintsize uses his own perverted methods to actually try and assist someone without giving away that that's what he's really doing. (As has been evidenced before.)

We only started making them in the 2000s.
The phrases has been updated to "As phony as a three dollar bill".
--- End quote ---
Actually, we started making the current design in 1976. My father started collecting them then.
--- End quote ---
And other designs were made from 1862-1966 (according to that Wikipedia page), so, nothing new about the $2 bill. They *are* pretty uncommon, though. Using attention-grabbing currency seems like an odd choice for criminals, not to mention it would take a giant, inefficient bundle of them to pay for an arms shipment.
I...assume. Definitely don't know from personal experience or anything :roll:

Me, I pay for my international arms shipments with $1 coins.
