What I found most interesting is that the blood in Jon's beard has faded since the nosebleed. You get a feeling for how quickly color leaches out of the Pub Stub.

While the lizard creature is a kick ass awesome looking character, the spilled beer worries me.

Swedish Fish? It's red, it's kinda fish-like, it's kinda Swede-like. Seems to make sense to me.

Yay, my first post in several months!

It's other-dimensional thems! Though the concept of Jon with boobs is well enough capable of destroying my sanity. No, what's worse is said Ikea-employee-like other-Philip. At least other-Phineas looks awesome.

you can notice how much the lower part of the woman's face AND teeths resemble Jon's,and the zone around the eyes too.

No, that's from Jon's admitted lack of ability in drawing differenct characters.

I find it interesting that the majority of voters is more disturbed by the lizard/fish thing than the spilled beer. I thought there was no greater insult than the abuse of alcohol...

Maybe the fish thing spilled the beer. That could potentially be more disturbing than just the spilled beer.

I imagine that it is some sort of inter-dimensional micro brew that Jon is drinking and thus is what is spilled. On the other hand, after so many, the palette gets much less discriminant (atleast has been my experience). Maybe Alfred serves the good stuff at first and then pulls a switcheroo...

Yes, and I thought it was completely unfair that Grif, Glock, and Toshi didn't let Jon finish it.

What I have really learned from all this is that the TCPs need more lizards and more alcohol content. Measured by total vote count, AB's has been the most popular ever.

Of course, I don't know why it took a vote count to make me realize that more alcohol content is needed, since it is a generally applicable principle. Which is a fancy way of saying 'd'uh'.

Omniscience is a terrible burden.

I also read the strip info [goats.com] regularly.

Oh cool, I did not know of that.

I like the name 'Glock'. Has a nice ring to it. And for some reason that I cannot adequately trace, the name 'Toshi Diplo' reminds me of Snowcrash.

Watch Jon reveal himself to be a huge tease and decide to shift to the farming dimension next strip; or worst yet something completely unrelated to what just occurred.

Hmph. That wouldn't be much of a revelation.

Apologies for the bad link in my previous message, by the way. Starting tomorrow, it will point to the wrong strip. Here is a better link [goats.com].

I like today's strip [goats.com] because it seems to be a perfect goodbye to one of the better minor characters in recent memory. I would be surprised if we were to see Alfred again anytime soon.

Ten points to anyone (besides Zamphir) who knows where both parts of the name come from.

It's all related, man.

While the high voter turn out maybe due to the presence of the lizard and alcohol on the ballet,it is possible that they were votes of sympathy for AsphaltBuffet or the recurrence of forms of the words 'strange' and 'Swedish.'
