    Oh man, let me make no bones upon this, but I *love* your work on this project, and HARK!

    Euclidean geometry is not a strong point with NAPG.

    Oh, piss off, FP-- I don’t answer to no “National Association of Gerontology Professionals,” and I never will!!

    (oh, rabbits, might you mean “new-age Peter Gallagher??”)

    Let’s look at this one from the other day. The corner of the wall doesn’t work. Once I removed the orange boi it became really clear that that corner can’t exist if we assume the walls are straight.

    Okay, cool!
    Yet which is seemingly a common occurrence these days, is it nawt? I mean (and we’ve talked about this before in previous months)-- I believe we both greatly admire Gallagher’s gonzo LEAP upon taking the strip in wonderful new directions, such as to… almost being a Krazy Kat-like jump, and that’s… holy hell… yeah!

    BUT! These days, more and more in HC, it seems to me like there’s been a creeping, sad erosion of comics skills upon his part in too many ways, and yes, fading inventiveness… and yes, I also think I understand how ridoinkulous it must be to shoulder that kind of burden, day-after-day, year-after-bloody-year, being a successful strip artist.

    So there’s THAT, also.

      I wouldn’t say the geometry errors are common but If these were trading cards they would be ranked as uncommon instead of rare.

      NAPG - Non-Actor Peter Gallagher. So that he isn’t confused with the actual actor Peter Gallagher.

      I don’t know that the rates are increasing. I’d have to go back and look at some of the early years of his work.

        Oh rabbits, now would that be… GOOD?

        LOL… I still have this box of 1978 mint, TOPPS baseball cards. I think I waited too long, after the bust, to sell, but whatever. Some things become just that much part of yon life, is it not…?

          I have boxes of comics that are part of my life. Won’t read most of them again but can’t get rid of them
