Suggested wine pairing: microwave some cabernet and run around town yelling.
THE MOUNTAIN TIME HURLY BURLY
is a curly girly who’s surly about the swirly she got early yesterday. (Her name is Shirley and her necklace is pearly [but not like that].)
I think we’re doing Monday-Tuesday-Thursday again, but I haven’t checked yet. My weekend was a bit whirly.
I love seeing a squid pull his eyelids down. and pull an earplug out of.. I can only assume, his siphon. I’m with him though, those weeknames would be a pain. And the Happy Days theme song would have to totally change up its format, or change it to “rockin’ and rollin’ all YEAR long”
All the differently-sized A’s in burrito squid’s screaming here make me think of the way Homsar ‘yells’ sometimes.
“AaAaAaA, I’m a squid that’s a burrito!”
Cold: It’d be kinda fun to name all the weeks, but that job would probably go to a dull person who’d just figure, “52 weeks in a year, 52 cards in a deck. Done.”
Xin: Man, Homsar is on the short list of characters I wish I could steal. I mean, he was raised by a cup of coffee, which is probably way more child rearing than Burrito Squid ever got.
I mean he’s already basically stolen from Mo-ron/Bo-ron from Freakazoid…
In retrospect, Homsar might have been one of the things that got me into random/surrealist humor in the first place. In more recent retrospect, why did Chimneyfoot need a calculator in comic 1134?
I think it was The Labyrinth that got me into surrealism first (shocking, I know). Also, Gogo Dodo from Tiny Toons, Monty Python animations, and stick figure comics drawn by my sister’s high school boyfriend.
As for Chim’s calculator, an idea I’ve had for a long time (but never developed because I couldn’t make it funny) was that he invented a kind of calculator that does math that doesn’t exist. Honestly, I have an embarrassing amount of Chimneyfoot backstory established in my head that I’ve never taken the time to work into comics.
SO, alternative explanation: He uses the calculator blindly to turn it into a random number generator, the same way he used Dawn’s… inconsistent appraisal of vertical relationships to randomize values he needed for his calculations.
