Ugh. There's already too much diesel exhaust in the atmosphere now, robustly seasoned with the blue smoke from cars that urgently need a ring job.

And to this you propose to add the tangy essence of aerosolized radioactive moose entrails, delivered via a mushroom cloud?

Thank you so much.

That would technically be a mooseshroom, but whatever, I don't think it matters much.

You could perform the same process on flying squirrels to power aircraft. That might help to keep the moose fallout particles out of the clouds, so that it wouldn't rain deer.

I'm going to go read the daily thread now.

[AnotherFairportfan]

Actually, before i go - who the heck is Ms. Alger?

No... no... if I'm going to keep my cool, I really can't let myself caribou things like that.

Y'know the teacher who told the one kid the rules about running in the hallways?

Here she is!

[TazManiac]

Ms. Alger?, yeah... she's got the Nom!, Nom!, Nom! thing going on.

(Check PabloWapsi's past eBay listing, filtering for completed auctions.) What the Heck, here ya go:

Bring that Ivory Soap m'Dear, we're going to go visit the Room that Makes the Rain...

She's gained some weight since then, i think. (Compare these clips from that page to the images in Taz's post)

That's what I was thinking, too. I wouldn't have known it was her, just from looking at the images from the eBay auctions.

Paul's art seems to be moving toward another evolution - the pinups of Mrs Alger are rather rubenesque, as opposed to the relatively slender, long-legged female body type he's preferred up till now.

And some of (most of) the Shelly-Muscle-Butt pinups he's done lately are pushing the musculature to extremes, sliding toward grotesque if he goes much further.

[TazManiac]

Yeah, me 'needer. A coupl'a thoughts:

EDIT- FPF, who slipped in a post while I was typing the following, has a point, (I think his post is in the groove with my general sentiments...)

- Paul will do b&w pictures and leave some ambiguity as to hair color, while focusing on curlyness and other attributes.

- He's gotten some comments, in past, re: the morphism of the character's bodies; Big Heads, Long and pronounced calves, short and seemingly insignificant thighs by comparison, etc, etc. (There was even some talk about an evolution to leonine noses, but I digress...). Here, otoh, we have a seemingly anti-Monica with Hips and Legs and nom-nom-nom as I put it, but less busty-ness. <-personal remark; smorgasbord is a good thing. Viva la Difference.

Still, this character, as seen in the ebay offerings, isn't really an Anti-Monica, despite my comparison, as she's got 'Folks on the Mezzanine' so to speak, to go along with a fully staffed 'Main Ball Room' in the lower portions. More Coke Bottle than Pyramid. huh. 'pyramid' <-- spell check has me thinking it's a pyrophiliac...

- Lastly, between the strip and the eBay stuff, it almost seems like two different people, but a closer examining of Panel Two; http://wapsisquare.com/comic/know-the-rules/ belies the 'shes-too-thin-to-be-the-same-gal', despite panel three's 3/4 turn, and I'm willing to chalk it up to loose sweater action and a lack of any imagery below the waist to anchor a telling physical reference point for one Ms. Alger.

Looking back on my in depth reply, to a secondary and ancillary character in an online web-strip, it's becoming more and more apparent that It's very likely I need to spend more time w/ real flesh and blood people.

I like the intellectual and visual stimulus I get here, and I love you guys, but my other senses are pouting in the corner...

[Catawampus]

No... no... if I'm going to keep my cool, I really can't let myself caribou things like that.

Yeah, I've herd that it's best not to take that sort of thing to hart and to just leave it all be hind you.

[Dave]

Sigh. I'm getting a bit sika this - I think I'll hit the road and just hope this whole line of discussion doesn't fallow me home.

Most characters look a bit different between their daily comic look and their eBay character sketch look. And, for that matter, from their initial look in the daily strip to their later look in the daily strip (even when there's not a long lapse of time). I think that it takes a little while to settle on a decided look.

I'm wondering if the unexpected interest by the readers in Ms. Alger is going to lead to her being a more frequent character in the series than she'd been planned on. And also if Abbie is any relation to the Moddey Dhoo or the Gurt Dog.

Oh deer, you're not fawned of the subject? Perhaps you ought to take some time to ruminate on the matter.

(Do you hear that? I think I hear people screaming and running away. Do you hear people screaming and running away?)

I'm wondering if the unexpected interest by the readers in Ms. Alger is going to lead to her being a more frequent character in the series than she'd been planned on.

I'm sure that Pablo will adjust her presence appropriately, based on the number (and identities) of the readers who seem interested in her in the different venues. The more people who talk about her presence in the strip itself (compared to the number of eBay bidders) the more likely she'll be to appear around the school. It's only appropriate that a who-ratio Alger be working with the troubled youth of today, you see.
