So like, back when this latest strip went up I gave Onstad some money via the tip button thing he's got going on. Because I figured it would encourage him to do more, I guess?

I feel like I may have been foolish, now.

You guys are kind of giving me the depression talking about Onstand this way

Not because I think you are wrong or anything, but because I am worried you are correct

also it is not depression they are pointing with their fingers, they are wearing game controllers or maybe they do jobs with those

I had the Philippe moment when I was 6. I met an uncle who asked if I had the ability to remove my limbs; I said no, I did not. He then took off his right leg from the knee down, which was a big surprise to my six year old self. Later, after I stopped hiding and crying, my father told me about how my uncle had fallen from a barn roof as a teenager. He landed in the hay, but unfortunately, there was a pitchfork there and it went through his leg.

I had the Ray moment a year ago. I only dealt with it within the last month due to "forgetting" about it at every opportunity, until it could not be put off any longer.

A toilet flush is an anchor to reality. There are few things more real than that.

The Publican has yet to realize that he is a lie and is therefore free to chat with Teodor and Ray.

So being female is counted as a birth defect now?

In China, it is.

I apologise for veering away from showering with musicians to comment on the Real Doll issue, but what came to mind for me was, 'At least these are replicas of adult humans'. It was then that I realised how damaging the internet can be to incautious browsers. Due to my habit of clicking on links despite warnings to not do so, and having thereby seen things like child-form sexdolls and people who have emotional and sexual realtionships with stuffed animals, the idea of men cuddling a Real Doll pings within normality to me.
