There are a lot of good reasons to be afraid of the dark, kid. Your dad just needs to be reminded of them. Throw some Lego blocks on the floor in front of his bedroom door tonight.
It’s not “sapient,” which means “possessing or expressing great sagacity and discernment,” but “sentient,” which means “capable of sensation and of at least rudimentary consciousness; consciously perceiving; capable of receiving and reäcting to sensory stimuli; and marked by the stimulation or exercise of the senses or of conscious perception.” I would have bet that Wienersmith would not make such a mistake. I suspect he and his copy fell victim to a so-called auto-correct/spell-check program.

That’s what I always used to tell myself. Still hasn’t happened, though.

So encouraging to see a successfully strip written to appeal to smart, educated people, that’s funny too. Good for this guy… and us!

Relax, son, there isn’t anything in the dark that isn’t there when the light’s on – except for the occasional swarm of bats!
