SHAMPOO WEEK
continues! Did you know Japan has shampoo robots? I get it; you probably didn’t know it, but you assumed so.
Anyway, these things scan your head all 3-D like, then use eight rubber fingers to wash your hair.
Now, like you, I don’t know it, but I assume this technology came from someone trying to do things to their butthole.
See you Thursday!
That second panel is very nicely drawn. Anyway, I think it depends on whether they’ve got gaming computers.
abstract concept treated as a thing you can step in, check (unless this is literally the liquor Chartreuse), great use of a hat to make a backwards head more obvious, check. nice perspective on the words PIT FALL that’s a double check. And for extra credit, excellent Popeye-style rhyming-reword i the alt text. You passed inspection, this comic is good for another 50,000 miles at least. Followed by a rinse and a repeat.
The guy here didn’t look down to realize what he’d stepped in until he was already in the car, and he didn’t look down to see the giant label painted on the ground before he fell in the pit. I’m sure there’s a solution here, but I can’t seem to think of what it could be…
That retail worker has the same disability as professor Quirrel, but instead of a dark wizard overlord, it’s just some guy that whispers “run” at everyone. Well, at least he doesn’t need to worry about a small child inflicting third-degree burns via touch.
NAR: That tracks, but I’d bookend it with people who have Outlook and Excel open all day.
Cold: Aw man, I was on the fence between chartreuse and vermilion, and made my choice without even thinking about the liqueur! Damn ambiguities.
I thought the extra credit would be the hidden warning in the business name, though.
Whee: Charlie Brown would be immune to this fate.
Xin: We’ve arrived at the same place from very different reference pools.
Whoa, I thought maybe you’d done some kind of randomizing switcheroo on us, which would be so on-brand. Like if I refreshed, I’d see different colors of step-in and Black’s would become White’s and then Grey’s and then Red’s and whatever other colors are people’s names. not a lot.
I just had to look up the etymology of vermilion, like is it worms? Bug-type pigment? Turns out no, it’s a rock/poison type. but it’s the same color as certain caterpillars who were used to make pigment, so it got the name.
hang on, what hidden warning? Because the K looks like a glyph of a toilet with the lid raised? Because he’s about to get flushed?
Ah, just another confluence of rocks, poison, and caterpillars? Snore.
It’s bold of you, a font of Mountain Time knowledge, to assume I wasn’t pulling your chain about a hidden warning.
Coldfusion:
“black’s auto parts” is “BLACK’s auto pARTS” (capital letters here are bold in the comic).
Isto is clearly a master of the reddish-orange and yellowish-green arts; he transmuted one into the other overnight! Ironically, like a pitfall, this comic is much deeper than I first anticipated.
