Atsali's looking like she's ready to kick loose for a while.

I misread the title as 'X-Man Break".

I thought "What, a Marvel / WS crossover? Fan art of mutants? Something REALLY strange?" Then I reread it, and thought "Oh."

Lack of reading skills makes for some interesting mistakes...

I'm sure Dietzel and Squirrel Girl would get along swimmingly.

Monday's update might be a little late if the news I'm getting from Weather.com are accurate about the snow and ice Iowa got over the weekend. Lots of car-wreck induced power outages.

You mean, after all this time of writing about and dealing with the paranormal, and he still uses electricity to produce his comic? :roll:

Maybe Greg and Al need to pay him a visit, and set up his computer with an alternate power source... ;)

Trust me, we've offered...he's a traditionalist. What for the life of me is wrong with a modified Rabbit plugged into the breaker panel I simply don't know, but when we mentioned it he got nervous and changed the subject.

I'm hoping that, by "Rabbit," which I noticed is capitalized, you are referring to the vehicle...

No. It was a Lanthian "device", which Al and Greg tried to analyze in Al's shop, in one fanfic. I will not state its actual purpose.

In this context, "Rabbit" refers to a nuclear-powered Lanthian artifact that was introduced in one of the fan-fiction stories. It was small, extremely powerful, quite unstable when discovered, could have melted down a city if Our Heroes had not gotten it under control, and was probably the least appropriate use of nuclear power for a technological device that has ever been invented in the history of the Universe.

I dunno about nuclear, but the thingamajigs (black and white) certainly qualify as some sort of inappropriate use of some kind of technology...

But it was 'impervious to bodily secretions'... that's not good enough?
