That’s a great idea, Scott! If you really would, try to do SOMETHING to fit Hershey squirts into a comic! For some reason, I’ve got a silly sense of humor, and that would just be too funny! lol For instance, the first Basic Instructions I read got me hooked! It was the… advertisement one you did. About the cars or minivans or something like that. THAT was a trip! lol
As an afterthought, if ya’ll are wondering, “What is he talking about?” This was several months ago, so if you’ve been reading for that long, you probably remember.
In the third panel, “…if Rorschach was an idiot” should be “…if Rorschach were an idiot,” unless there is some thought in her mind that Rorschach really may have been an idiot. Strangely, Strunk & White are silent on this all-important distinction. Maybe they was idiots.
Not Strunk & White, but Harry Kemelman, in a Rabbi Small short story, “A Nine Mile Walk”, used his knowledge of how people speak to establish a crime was committed, where, and find the perpetrator.
“That’s brilliant, Strunk!”“It was elementary, my dear Elwynn. In the future, reserve your exclamation marks for use after true exclamations or commands.”“Yes sir!”“What’s that?”“Uh… Yes sir.”“Much better. Really, even you could have solved this case if some pig of a policeman hadn’t tampered with the evidence.”“Some pig? Some pig. Hmmmmm…”

oh Scott … did you do it on purpose just so we grammar sticklers could cringe and cry and rip our clothes and gnash our teeth?

@tirasmol: shouldn’t that read: “do it on purpose just so THAT we grammar sticklers…” ? :-)

“Sometimes our problem is not having no ideas…”The grammar sticklers say, don’t not use no double negatives.
How about, “Sometimes one’s problem is not a lack of ideas…”
