@achewood Irish Nachos are a charming take on the original, but I wonder what Uighur Nachos would be like. A mutton leg on a crisped pita?

MASTER NINJA THEME SONG!*

Quote from: "Biz Markizzle"
However, can someone please describe his costume to me, using words?


The cat appears to be wearing a "cowboy-stiched" shirt, a bolo tie, pasted on mutton-chop sideburns, and some sort of spitcurled hairpiece.

Perhaps he is Elvis Costello, or merely an Attraction?

Perhaps he is an extra in Grease, who did not have a mechanic's coverall?

Is he Squiggy?

I do not know who he is, or how it would help a friend to be dressed like that.  The ambiguity is petulant, and slaps my nose like a kitten would.

Ray might be dressed up as the vampire from "Voodoo Heartbeat" who, according to Michael Weldon, looked like a rockbilly singer.

So, as "helpin' out a friend" Beef had to rescue Molly from the machinations of "Voodoo Ray Vampire Billy" and, when she was thus rescued, Molly agreed to--

--Sorry, I can't go on.  When she was in Heaven, Molly was pretty cool, she could code Java and stuff.  When she was resurrected, she lost her coolness.  

Isn't it always that way?  Speaking only from my own experience, I guess "Yes" is the only answer there is.

Well the dagger (†) is alt+0134 and the double dagger (‡) is alt+0135 but if you want to superscript them you've got to do it the old fashioned way.

Thanks for the description of the costume, Lister. It was useful and made me feel better.

If only this strip had appeared before the Halloween Costume Contest we may not have had so many people covering themselves in newspaper.

I read pretty much all of the Hardy Boys in junior high.

Does anyone remember the new series that came out in the late 80's? Every other books was about Frank & Joe running into professional assassins or terrorists or cultists or something. Here's a typical plot: Frank & Joe discover a connection between the on-air fatal electrocution of a local shock jock and a gang of skinheads. Or: Frank's girlfriend witnesses  the beating of a homeless man by a crooked cop while visiting UCLA, and finds herself being chased by goons.

Woah, I haven't posted in awhile!

I loved this strip. The best part:

"I know how it is."

I realise that Cornelius is wearing driving goggles, but he really reminds me of Robin.

Additionally, Metropolitan Sex College 9 sounds like it could be the name of a planet in "Futurama."
