THE GREATEST NANCY PANEL EVER DRAWN:

http://jimwoodring.blogspot.com/2006/07 ... drawn.html

As one astute commenter notes, this card alone would win a 5 card Nancy.

BoxJam,

Do you have an alibi?

Also- why'd the exotic fish have buy it? Wrong place, wrong time?

OHMYGOD THE PENGUINS WON'T SOMEONE THINK ABOUT THE PENGUINS???

...it _does_ seem odd that the fish got so short-changed, though - i mean, most of the penguins made it.

THERE ARE NO PENGUINS IN INDIANAPOLIS.

BoxJam, as timely as ever: FBoFW the best comic ever?

Thanks for that link. He's got some good points, but ignores how saccharine FBoFW can be.

So he's wrong.

Silly bup. We all know that FictionBoy wrote Shakespeare.

by **BoxJam** on Thu Aug 24, 2006 11:15 am

FictionBoy wrote "Love's Labours Left Behind."

A common misunderstanding.

Hmmmm .... I hear he's been looking for a new project, and we all know he has no compunction about stealing other people's good ideas.

"SILENT PANEL"

Haw!

Also that clanging noise you hear is the sound of a gauntlet being thrown down. Your quest to be the most sesquipedalian webcomic in Christendom just suffered a set back.

Today's Splendid Everlasting rocks the word "bedizen" like nobody's business. I'll give you the whole weekend to wrap your mind around that.

by **BoxJam** on Fri Aug 25, 2006 8:03 am

It rocked so hard it brought your server down.

For hydro:

sesquipedalian
bedizen

by **BoxJam** on Fri Aug 25, 2006 10:31 am

OK now the server's up. It's a great one!

Unlike some novels named "The House of the Seven Gables," which I won't mention.

by **Michael** on Fri Aug 25, 2006 9:13 pm

Lawrence of Arabia was a Bedizen, right?

That Guy Brandhoe is a real jerk.

Not as big a jerk as Hydro, mind you, but a jerk nonetheless.

by **Michael** on Thu Aug 31, 2006 12:27 pm

Brandhoe never even paid me for my track losses.

by **BoxJam** on Thu Aug 31, 2006 3:22 pm

Today's strip basically happened to my wife.

The most bizarre part was that in real life it happened while she was teaching a college class - the classroom phone rang, she answered it, and the person kept insisting that she had given the woman this wrong number, although my wife has a different name than the name the caller kept using.

by **Michael** on Sat Sep 02, 2006 3:19 am

A similar but entirely different thing happened to me once. There is a seller of chiropractic services whose domain name is "vivitek.com", very close to my own "vivtek.com". For years, they had a typo in their email link and I would get business inquiries. I would always redirect them, but one of these people, for some reason, got extremely irate that I refused to tell him a doctor local to him who would help him -- finally I convinced him that I did programming services and translation, not chiropractic. His parting shot was an angry email that he would never do business with me again.

....i can imagine your despair at losing him.

About Today's (sept 2) one... "rape will remain as long as it is a successful reproductive strategy"... seems pretty reaching.

I don't think we've established anything approximating a "rapist gene", so it's not a matter of natural selection. I'm only hazarding a faint guess here, but somehow I doubt most rapists are thinking "Ooh! That one'll pop out Junior nicely!"

Edit: 666th post. Holy moly.

by **Michael** on Sun Sep 03, 2006 3:52 am

On the bright side, Boxjam could be dead by the time you read this.

I have the same objection to the rape one: rape could cease to be a good reproductive strategy (arguably it already has) but it would still have no effect on our hardwiring on any human timescale.
