I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Note that in the previous page he was having a madness-inducing sensory overload caused by seeing/hearing everything in the world, and hearing that girl say something vaguely nice about him snapped him out of it. He's like the Sentry if he was a gigantic dork of a teen and thus too stupid to go insane.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

I think it's a play on "cock-a-whoop/hoop" a really old phrase of indeterminate origin.

Why the hell am I not reading Dial H right this second?

Is there anything I need to know before picking it up, good place to start, or can I just buy all of it and die happy?

Yeah, specifically, I didn't realize Dial H had just started anew in 2012. Looks like it's only about $25 on Comixology to catch up, too. Guess I know what I'm doing with my paycheck next week.

I can do that. Most keyboards have ctrl and alt keys close to the delete key.

So, Harvey, what became of the giant penny?

They actually let him keep it.

There is something 80's glam rock about Carol Danvers's current look. It might just be this artist giving her Bowie-hair, but it's fantastic.

Wow. In every other situation I've tried it, the right Alt key, AltGr, doesn't function as an Alt key. AltGr+F4 doesn't close a window, AltGr+F doesn't open the File menu. I just totally ceased to perceive AltGr as a usable keyboard key until right now.

It seems to work exactly the same as the other Alt for me, on Windows 7.

That's not surprising given the whole original strip way back when was for mailed-in hero names-think it was for a contest or some such.

The contest is gone. The spirit remains.
