Kewl... thanks!
Since you have taken high honors in the "rather open-ended question which takes many people to answer" category, I think I might follow in your footsteps. This one is open-ended and subjective, so there aren't any absolute answers... I'm just interested to see how many there are which make sense to somebody,
This one also gives me a chance to nerd out a bit.
A progressive-music band I followed with interest during my high-school-through-college years is an outfit which went by the name of Gentle Giant. They're the only band I know of, to ever hang up a big neon sign reading "PRETENTION" on stage when they toured.
So - the question for you folks - give an example (or examples) from within the Wapsi Square story-line, which matches the title of one of Gentle Giant's studio albums. It can be an incident, or a situation, or a character which you feel exemplifies the title, or a strip in which the word is used or referred to. Some of these are easy, some may take a bit of digging.
The albums in question:
- Gentle Giant
- Acquiring the Taste
- Three Friends
- Octopus
- In a Glass House
- The Power and the Glory
- Free Hand
- Interview
- The Missing Piece
- Giant for a Day!
- Civilian
For extra credit, do the same with the names of their live albums, compilations, or bootlegs, or a song on one of any of their albums (which you'll have to research for yourself).
The winner will be the person who comes up with the most not-utterly-ridiculous correlations. Links to the strips are required for all answers, in order to qualify.
