Bad Machinery by John Allison for October 03, 2022

I believe the technical term is “rictus”.

Seems like his children would use his real last name. On the other hand, maybe not.

TBI and PTSD

The last panel reminds me of the character Gwynplaine, The Man Who Laughs ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0019130/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 )

I hope Mr. Gravy’s not going to be in that new movie they’ve been advertising.
