Ok. I was wondering where you were coming from. I understand the criticism, I just didn’t think it was that much work in this strip.

Anyway, jokes don’t tend to work at their best if you have to work backwards from the punchline to work out the rough gist of what must have been going on in the previous panel.

What else would you think he’s watching? A bad adaptation of someone else’s movie, or a good adaptation of one of his own?

Why does it matter what film it was?

Because if you don’t know that the film Alan Moore is watching at the end is a bad remake of one of his books the scene at the end is irrelevant.

Lost me again at the end because I didn’t have a clue what the film was.

“commalate” How cromulent! :p

And the “mum” is Brit speak from old movies, I presume. There I’ve seen it used as a general female referent.

Even in the Whaddayu sense, one would commalate in that particular way.

I live in the US, and I’ve never encountered that vernacular before.

I’m guessing ‘mum’ is supposed to be ma’am, which I guess sort of sounds like mum with an English accent, but there could be some vernacular that I’m missing. Other than that the comic was good.

Is he drinking absinthe straight? Good God, that’s some strong stuff.

Stu, in the U.S. vernacular, we do have a construction that starts, “What do you” (or “Whadda you”) and is followed by a pause and a verb. So the comma there is an accurate rendition of the way people speak.

“It’s the law”
very funny.
in the shop that i worked at for 6 years, we would have been made to have Joe Matt’s ‘Peepshow’ or ‘ACME Comics Library’ tho’…

I actually prefer “brunged,” but my keyboard at the time had a non-functioning U-key, so I settled on “bring.”

Note: Some of this was a bald-faced lie.
