Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for June 02, 2023

Now my bank account is empty.

Now Doug is over-drawn.

Oh hey, Richard’s back! And more violent and obnoxious than ever!

You gave yourself away as a Boston guy with the beer one.

I remember that episode of 6 Million Dollar Man. Bigfoot played by Andre the Giant.

THE EPIC / BRUTAL REPORT, EMOTICON EDITION

It’s fun to convey emotional states with images rather than words…

:-)

…but the wide availability and variety of emojis has rendered the emoticon virtually obsolete.

>:-(

Alright! The Epic / Brutal Report is BACK!

I mean, sort of.

Narragansett Beer

What a fiend. No no. No kill poor cow. :’-(

Narry? We called it Gansett when I was there.

I never really watched The Six Million Dollar Man. I see that they have the DVDs available at my library, also The Bionic Woman. Should I, or shouldn’t I?

“Clean” and “Suspect”?

I’m from Boston and I think Rhode Islanders talk weird. (Sure, lots of regions have their own regional term for “milkshake” – but are any of them as bizarre as RI’s “cabinet”? No.)

I know the film was from a Dick novel, but in the credits they thank Burroughs for the title, not Nourse.

I was right that there’s a story. “The Bladerunner” was Nourse’s novel. “The Blade Runner” was a 1979 novella by Burroughs, which began as a film treatment for the Nourse novel.

Doug is going to demand a raise to get even and I’m gonna die laffin at this friggin strip.
