That door actually says “HUM RESOURCES” and inside is just kazoos.
My dad once dialed a wrong number and heard ” Hello it’s a beautiful day at Boston Baked Hats”
~My name is Glenn Fontana. You made my lather. Prepare to run out at an inopportune moment and get fruitlessly pumped many times.~
There’s a lot of buzz about industrial kazoo departments, because they keep things humming along.
“Boston Baked Hats” is an A-tier bit that I wish I wrote.
I seriously hope Glenn Fontana, or at least something else with the same general concept as Glenn Fontana (which may make it easier to work with if neither component is a soap dispenser), joins the Mountain Time Reoccurring Character Club, if only because of how screwy the concept is.
Also second strip in a row where someone mentions eating their own hat. You are now obliged to keep this going.
Funny thing is, I wrote this entire episode to introduce Glenn Fontana so I could use him later in the Big Mountain Time Thing, but in the end, the strip kind of insists that he can’t exist outside of the Glenn diagram.
Also, I had a third “eat my hat” joke, but I can’t recall it. Hopefully it’ll come back to me so I can make a trilogy. If it doesn’t, I’ll eat my lunch.
Simple: make the entire story exist inside the Glenn diagram. And then add even more confusing conditions to it.
I also notice you never said you wouldn’t eat your lunch if it did come back to you, only that you would if it didn’t, so that way you can just eat your lunch no matter what happens and still be correct. (I give you permission to make an eat-my-hat joke if it doesn’t come back to you.)
Just realized that last sentence in my comment doesn’t actually make any sense because I left out a large chunk of it. I give you permission to make an eat-my-hat joke *with that general concept* if the one you came up with doesn’t come back to you.
What was it that a tree told Chimneyfoot once? “Just because you’re dreaming that you’re crying in a Wendy’s doesn’t mean that it isn’t actually happening”? Or…something like that. At any rate, I’d say it’s well within plausibility for the MT universe for someone’s life to be a dream that he’s having, but still be real nonetheless.
Circle: Now, hold on—are you permitting me to make an eat-my-hat joke about being sure I can eat my lunch regardless of the parameters of an eat-my-hat-type ultimatum? Because we may have already gone beyond the confusion that can be expressed in four rows of comics.
Xin: It was an Arby’s, and the trees kinda made the opposite point, but thanks to circular reasoning it’s still the same point, so I must concede this one. Challenge accepted.

I guess I just mean that, while there are some nuggets of internal logic and “theming”, this is the universe where a person can disappear by telling a knock-knock joke, or get angry at Dave and turn into surf rat on a whim, or uh…BE Dave in the first place, able to do things like pop off his own head and carve it up like a jack-o-lantern. I feel like any level of weirdness can still be surprising, interesting or impressive in this universe, but not unbelievable.
Oh, I agree! And rereading it, I don’t think the tree was actually making the opposite point. I managed to confuse myself. Or maybe the beer did that.
Anyone got any opinions on horse names?
Yeah, I wrote about a third of it, and then everything went to hell.
My girlfriend broke her elbow, and that should normally be the worst thing to happen in a given week, but then we had to put our tortoise down. Little guy was only nine. He could’ve outlived us if only he were healthy.
We’re very deep in grief. Nothing feels normal right now, because “normal” involves our little buddy stomping around, acting like a rock with opinions.
I MIGHT finish the pony review after the derby (making it a proper “review” if you get down to it), but I don’t know if I’ll be in the right headspace for it for a while.
Oh wow, that sucks man. I’ve never heard of a reptile even being unhealthy, let alone it being so clear that it needs to be put down. But I’ve also never heard of anyone being super attached to one, and it sounds like you super were ;_; If he’s just a part of your every-moment time… That turt accomplished some impressive things.
also a broken elbow blows. I broke mine once and it still won’t fully straighten out.
You just take the time you need. If tortoise drawings would help, that can be arranged.
Thanks dude! Little guy had a bladder stone that, even after surgery, couldn’t be fixed—the stone had grown into his bladder, and he was never going to get better. The only thing to do was pull the plug, or else he would’ve suffered for who-knows-how-long until the inevitable.
It really sucks, because we (obviously) thought the bladder stone was a problem surgery could take care of, and tortoises are supposed to live for ages, but there you go.
I resumed comicking tonight, and I hope to get new dumb drawings to you soon.
Enough with the talk about hats, especially that you are really a factory dreaming of a piece of lunch.
No joke here. I’m sorry for your loss.
Thanks.
