Seriously, I think we should start a subforum to discuss this comic. The guy has recently quit his job to do the comic full time, but he STILL doesn't update every day! What could be more perfect for us?

I like this strip, I think it's headed somewhere special.

I want to know what else happened at The Party.

Daisy Owl is awesome. My favorite is the one where Steve and that other bear talk about getting high.

I like this strip very very much. I just read the whole archive instead of studying for a philosophy exam.

We have labelled the garbage disposal switch with a sticker of a blowgiraffe so that this doesn't happen anymore.

Thanks for pointing this one out as it's something that I think does not suck.

I would be afraid to touch a picture of a blowgiraffe. Does that mean there is something wrong with my mind, or is this normal?

Growing up I not only wouldn't touch pictures of spiders in text books, I also would touch the other side of the page where the picture was.

So to answer Toaster's question: Yes.

[wombat]

Well, we did choose the blowgiraffe because of all the stickers we had in the house, despite a large range of choices, it was the only one that depicted something sort of dangerous. So I was actually hoping we'd be sort of afraid to touch it.

The most threatening thing in wombat's home is a blowgiraffe sticker.

I'll have to think on this. It's a new paradigm for me.

If Ash blocks everyone's avatar, does that mean he can't see the little line of text under it, too? 'cause otherwise I don't see how this could be surprising.

...does that mean he can't see the little line of text under it, too?

Sure can.

...'cause otherwise I don't see how this could be surprising.

Mock is the prefix you're looking for to make this all fit, wombles. I am all about the MockMockMock-Surprise. With an arched eyebrow as well.

I bet your butter knives have plastic sleeves to protect you and your dishware from the serrations.

[note: this is OK, the safe non-threatening home. Enough bad things happen out in the world, let alone to have to worry about a settee doing you in.]

Actually, I do all sorts of dangerous things, according to an article I read in Consumer Reports.

Here are the things I do that they say I shouldn't:
-Clean my ears with cotton swabs
-Slow down at a stop sign without coming to a full stop
-Leave things on the stairs at home
-Eat raw cookie dough

And the things I don't do that I should:
-Eat burgers only well done
-Unplug the toaster oven when not in use

When I wrote about this on my blog a while ago, the second list was longer, but I just bought a mat for my bathtub, so there goes that bit of living on the edge.
