Possibly, whatever restaurant was involved failed to mention that the house wine this week is a Château Chunder.

:o :| :cry: :cry: eeerrrrggggg! Been there, done that, not gonna visit there again!! Hoping you're feeling better soon. I'm just recovering from a turkey day overdose of too many good things. The next thing I'm consuming is a Mylanta milkshake. Too much turkey, too much punkin pie, too much cheesecake, too much too much. Take care, Pablo.

blorgh! Count me among past casualties of food poisoning. Just do what you need to, and we'll wait for the continuation of the inadvertent cliffhanger. Plenty of rest, ginger ale, green tea, crackers, soup, and a cot in the bathroom are my recommendations.

Is the chili from Wendy's ever not bad?

I think we need to get Paul a Wacom tablet with blue-tooth. That way he can work from...other places...

Oh, for shame, sir! Certain locations, and certain personal activities :oops: really ought to be considered sacrosanct, and entirely free of the taint of any sort of involvement with "work".

I mean, really. Gahan Wilson was right about this.

It was certainly meant in jest. Pablo is already the hardest working man in webcomics.

And to answer the esteemed Mr. Wilson - It must be, look how many worship it through the television.

Oh, I know... I just couldn't resist the opportunity to indulge in some mock-horror ;)

Indeed. You could hear us screaming from all over. Just think if Paul had had Shel stab Monica in the head without all that "You can't kill her!" and then just said... "The End"

Yeah.

This is how we feel. After reading that today, this... this is a low blip on the radar, though a well loved blip.

Pablo is certainely one of the hardest working.

But then you have others, like girl genius authors who are known to update even when the colorist has a heart attack.

That would presume that CAD was actually as good as Wapsi. And that Buckley was actually as good as Pablo.

And both presumptions are wildly inaccurate, as Pablo has more talent in his little finger than Buckley ever had.

EDIT: Of course, NO ONE has ANYTHING on Howard Tayler.

Watterson v. Shultz

Disney v. Warner bros.

Boris v. Frazzeta

Davis v. Pastis

Michelangelo v.Raphael

Steve Ditko v. Jack Kirby

Hendrix v. Clapton

Buddy Rich v. Neil Peart

Bronson v. Eastwood

The whole idea of who's a better artist is subjective. Someone will have an opinion of who's better. I for one decline to play that game. The world would be poorer by the absence of any one of these. While I didn't read Ctr+Alt+Delete, I'm sure there were lots of fans that are heartbroken about it ending.
