“What’s straight-up weird? The fact that I sat through the film because my girlfriend wanted to watch it, or the fact that she preferred Harvey to Sam??”

That fact that anybody would be attracted to Harvey Keitel.

>>The Scrooge McDuck joke was well enough, but I don’t get the last panel. Can someone spell it out for me?

It’s basically endcap of the “Rick” storyline that has been running in the past few comics. Josh’s expression, in the final panel, is also a mirror of Joyce’s from the “Jocye’s fate” comic from a couple comics back.

That’s straight-up weird.

“I’ve sat through The Piano… and she had a Harvey Keitel thing, not Sam Neill…”

That’s straight-up weird.

When you put that with the last strip, that is funny. Some of the Comic Critics’ critics need to lighten up.

I guess the joke is that The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is actually more mature and less adolescent than X-Men?

I don’t like the strip’s turn toward the style of newspaper-strip drama. It feels like the Ultimate X-Men joke is just dropped somewhere in the middle to fulfill the series’ “Marissa likes indie/unorthodox books, Josh likes mainstream stuff” quota.

‘The shutup’ was beautiful.
Could’ve been a strip on it’s own, without the bonus of it playing into a larger tapestry.

(And The Piano? Which of you poor bastards had to sit through that one to get some?)

Would be, I should say.

Marissa’s response is exactly what mine should be.
