I don’t think it’s their sand castle Peter is looking at …

Peter loves girls. Not Lord of the Rings.

I never thought I’d say such a thing out loud, Jason, but it’s not your “twin towers” or “construction” that Peter’s interested in.
You still have to wonder why Peter’s not standing closer to the girls. Taking an opportunity to rub Jason’s nose in the figurative sand?
Biblical joke: In Genesis 2:22 (Hebrew), the relevant verb (about Eve) is “to build”, not “to make”. It is therefore proper to speak of a woman as “built”. :)

That’s because the first woman Lilith was created of dust the same as Adam and thumbed her nose at God and Adam when they insisted she serve them. God’s second try was Eve, built of Adam’s rib so she would be subservient.
Eve was the original Stepford Wife. :)

Guntoting-
EXCELLENT.

Dude, if I saw Jason’s sand castle I might fall down in awe. Or ask for his autograph. LOTR nerd here.

I wonder if it’s occured to Jason that, when the tide comes in, it might eat out the bottom of his castle and make it collapse, instead of just surrounding it.

And the blood of his sand castle shall be washed away.

He knows Sauman’s first name?!

I love it when Jason nerds out to the max and goes on detailed little rants.

Orthanc is the name of the tower. Notice the comma.

On your goComics home page have you made a comics page?
If you have you can go up to the comic.
Under it should be several buttons.
One should be “Add to My Comics”.
When you click on that you should see your comics page listed.
Click on that.
Viola! Not so difficult!
(PS, I wouldnt post an email here. It’s not always safe. You should delete it.)

Well, Helene Clark, I’d like to hepl you out but it’s not a process I do much of and therefore would be sloppy in the explain department. If you enjoy fantasy adventure with fey creatures, and in the current story, references to Bogey and other film noir artifacts, try Pibgorn, further down the road.
You will find a few contempories along with us younger, middle aged folk and even the very young, delightful story teller, ladywolf17 along with Papa bear, wolfbyte36.
Share stories about pets, loved ones, the dearly departed, recipes, jokes, poetry and silly stuff people make up. A few of us are adroit in matters electronic and can handily explain pretty much what you want to know about this place. You will also learn how to do things with the text. The Old Wolf had the main part in that. We look forward to seeing you. Gweedo

Some compliment Jason thought he was getting from his older brother. Also, looks like Peter doesn’t care about his younger brother’s sand sculpture, he was caring about the girls near Jason. [sigh] Boys (like me).

I like Jason’s tower better. But then, I’m a girl. And a girl, who likes nerds, no less.

So, this might mean Peter and Denise are no longer an item.
channce said, 3 months ago
Helene, you might start by clicking the button at the top of the page that says, “add/edit comics” I take it Gweedo was being sarcastic because he might be suspicious like me that perhaps the help request could well be a troll post. It certainly doesn’t speak to the subject which is Jason’s sand castle versus the pretty girls that Peter is gazing upon.

He should have made all of Isengard (including the walls).
Potrzebie said, 3 months ago
Furienna: good for you girl! I plan to raise my kid to be kind and friendly to nerds. Whom knows how the “heathers” feel now over having passed On Stevie Speilberg , Billy Gates or Stevie Jobs?
Second: Did you guys realize that making pro sand castles requires a lot of tools and glue? Yes, they mix elmers’ or something to make that sand stick!

Locally there is a sand castle contest evey year….it has evolved into sand “sculpture” One of the families that always places has a college educated artist on thier team. these are some very complicated detailed pieces

Wow I’m so glad I decided to join UCLICK GOCOMICS.This is so cool and what a change from the news of the day.Relief at long last. ;]
SJ said, 3 months ago
DarthDanMan: Yes, he should have. And then made Fangorn nearby. How would one make trees…. seaweed and sticks? Ooh, if he’s copying the movie… So, there’s this deep mine where they birth the Uruk-Hai and whatnot. It would be fairly easy to dig a scale mine in the sand. And then, when the tide came in, it would be even cooler.
Next time I go to a beach, this is what I shall do.

If Peter would have actually looked at the two sand castles and ignore who made them, he’d probably still be more interested in the pity excuse for a sand castle.
DisComBoBuLaTeD_uBeR said, 3 months ago
The girls sandcastle oddly resembles what Peter is most likely staring at….. o_O
