Your frequency has been great lately as has the quality of your updates. Keep ’em coming!

H&R Geiger FTW.

That comic was just full of NIN, errr, WIN… 🙂
(Though that it turned out to also be a cat instead of a dog was really killing me, what with the insane laughter and all… 😉

Am I the only one who imagined the man speaking with Tommy Chong’s voice?

Poor Pink Hair. She may have got her hair colour back, but she’s still in need of a spine. Won’t you help? If you’re not using your spine, please ship it to her, care of the SPH (Spine for Pink Hair) Foundation, 456-123 Passive Ave., Yesmaam, ON, X5X X5X. Organ donor card not necessary. Spine donations are not tax deductible.

I think you ment X5X 5X5
only in all lower case. or since this is a scamm the code sould sart K1A …

I was thinking about Schrodinger’s thought experiment, and I cracked up when it turned out to actually be a cat in the safe.
Of course, it’s also possible that the nature of the pet will be in flux until the safe is opened.
August 25, 2010 at 8:25 pm
the meow made me laugh hysterically, one of the funniest comix in awhile
August 25, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Yeah, I’d have watched the dog-safe for him, too.
August 25, 2010 at 8:56 pm
Why is it that hard to say no, i should try to take “how to say no” lessons from one of the girls i’ve tried to ask out, they seem to be experts…
Although one who agrees to the lessons might not be the best teacher of the subject… i just catch22ed myself.
August 25, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Haha that comic killed me! The ‘meow’ at the end especially! Great stuff lad.
August 25, 2010 at 9:46 pm
He he… loved the Alien in the background. And I like the crazy guy, he was pleasantly nutty.
Storywise, that’s the first time I don’t like the comic. I couldn’t shake the general feeling of being let down. After the amazing return of PHG’s color last month, nothing happens here. No payoff, no change, nothing. She might as well still have brown hair. It’s like the transformation of #155 was for nothing. It’s not a bad comic, it just didn’t do anything for me. Sorry to be a negative nanny. 😦
The ending meow cracked me up though. 🙂
August 26, 2010 at 3:51 am
spotted alien
August 26, 2010 at 4:33 am
Alien? How about how the background was in constant flux?!
Poor girl, she still has a long road to walk down in life. Of course, we all have trouble saying no…
Doesn’t mean this is the end of it. Imagine, handing that guy a bag full of Worcester steak sauce and shoving him down an alley occupied by the Sphinx.
August 26, 2010 at 4:35 am
And though it be terrible manners to post twice, I’d definitely stop for the lost tourist.
August 26, 2010 at 4:44 am
That ‘meow’ is hilarious! Poor pink haired girl, can never say no to anything… Please bring back that salesman from Salesmen without borders. He is the only one who has been nice to her.
August 26, 2010 at 5:16 am
All is forgiven. That was awesome. I think we landed on like 4 of those squares in our three entire days in the big city. Thanks for being our tour guide!
August 26, 2010 at 6:50 am
Teehee, H&R Giger. 😀
August 26, 2010 at 8:55 am
I do like it, but only she mentions that he, for some reason, doesn’t know the code to the safe, he never does. Damn, I’ve been proofreading too much.
August 30, 2010 at 2:39 pm
I know, my rationale was that him not knowing the combination was implied by the fact that he hadn’t opened the safe yet, but rereading the comic there’s probably nothing you can safely assume from the guy’s behavior..
August 26, 2010 at 4:11 pm
It was probably a mistake to put wheels on a safe.
August 26, 2010 at 5:40 pm
I. love. it.
Back on hilarious form. Good show indeed!
TF
August 26, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Love that she made a stand, quit the soul-sucking job, got the pink hair back…
and STILL cannot say no.
Poor thing.
*meow* FTW!
August 26, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Awesome, one of the funniest ones I’ve read in a while.
August 26, 2010 at 7:17 pm
“nonsense…nonsense i tell you” was the first thing that came to my mind when i got to the part when the guy shows his “dog”…but it as a sense to it…people who try to stop you on the street asking for the most incredible things…jez…
loved the win/NIN shirt…oh…and alien walking by
August 26, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Very, very funny.
August 26, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Loved the Win t-shirt *cough*sell it to us*cough* and the boardgame which can’t be won, hence the resignation. =P
August 26, 2010 at 11:39 pm
And one more thing, i absolutely love how you’ve developed a lot of your comics into posters, it’s awesome dude, and a respectful business decision.
Not to say you’re selling your soul or something to that degree, i’m quite in love wiht what you do. *cough*
August 27, 2010 at 1:38 am

August 27, 2010 at 2:37 am
Maybe you’re above this sort of thing, but the alt-text made me lose The Game.

Simple solution = Reply: “I found it.”
August 27, 2010 at 4:58 pm
This is funnier/sadder living in San Francisco due to its accuracy.
August 27, 2010 at 10:52 pm
Just spend 2 hours in a viruscomixmarathon
and had a blast, great work.
August 28, 2010 at 6:36 pm
This does not take place in Dimension ?XJQ. You lie.
August 29, 2010 at 5:22 am
Awesome comic as always!
August 29, 2010 at 10:47 am
The cat makes sense in a way if the Pet store is full of dogs 😀 But doesn’t make the man any smarter.
August 30, 2010 at 10:59 am
Damn, I thought I was good at saying no, but it cost me 27 dollars to get to my apartment.
Alex has a point. PHG must be able to say no in some circumstances – otherwise she would be pregnant.
IRL, I’ve been living in the city for so long, I’ve had to unlearn reflexively refusing to help passers-by. Once I refused to let a girl make a call on my mobile phone, because it was raining and I didn’t want my shiny new smartphone to get wet. Never mind that she was getting wet waiting for some woman that didn’t show up. It was in front of my apartment – I should have told her I only had a landline!
This month, I took a chance and handed my phone to a dodgey-looking couple. They were nervous, tackily dressed, probably alcoholics, lost in their own city (I could tell by their heavy accent) and they couldn’t find a payphone at the mall. It turned out they were genuine and I got my phone back within a minute.
It seems I have better karma now. Yesterday I was desperately trying to fix a flat bicycle tire in the rain, when a passing biker handed me a spare inner tube. Still, I hesitated for a moment to accept his help, and made a lame offer to pay for it.
August 30, 2010 at 11:03 am
Oh, and I loved the meow!
August 30, 2010 at 2:16 pm
I figure that even if I lose time or money I hopefully gain something in the long run.
August 30, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Well said. Plus there’s something flattering about being the person that’s always asked for stuff, even if it means you sometimes get home ten dollars lighter..
Was kind of worried that the comic came off as “DON’T GIVE MONEY TO PANHANDLERS THEY ARE SCUM” or something, but that was not my intention in the least. (/paranoia)
August 30, 2010 at 2:42 pm
PS: I’ve enabled the ability to Reply to comments. Would have done so years ago, but i didn’t realize it was an option until now (hurr durr..). Only two “levels” of discussion are enabled though, i don’t want this turning into Inception…
August 30, 2010 at 10:55 pm
“Inception” is not how dreams work, anyway. But like Pink-Haired Girl, I’ll probably be sucked into paying to see a sequel anyway.
And the panhandler-PC-paranoia wasn’t justified. Just another impossibly mad person from the Subnormality Central Casting. Well done, sir.
And… activating one level of replies means having to reply to replies under a different reply, like I just replied above, if the reply slot in the post you wanted to reply to is already filled with a reply. So it’s not like you’ve complicated matters at all.
August 30, 2010 at 8:42 pm
Now, THAT my friend, is RICH. I actually LOL’ed at the little “meow” in the corner. BRILLIANT, as usual. 🙂
You keep making them and I keep loving them. What a winning combination…! ❤
August 30, 2010 at 9:11 pm
Brilliant, just.. brilliant… I love this comic and the chick with pink hair.
August 30, 2010 at 9:17 pm
that safe pet needs to be regular, pink hair needs a pet!
August 30, 2010 at 10:35 pm
Life is sad, believe me, missy,
when you’re born to be a sissy,
without the vim and verve.
But I could change my habits,
never more be scared of rabbits,
if I only had the nerve.
I’m afraid there’s no denying,
I’m just a dandelion,
a fate I don’t deserve.
But I could show my prowess,
be a lion not a mouse,
if I only had the nerve.
-The Wizard of Oz (1939)

She wouldnt last 5 seconds on sauchiehall street in Glasgow
September 1, 2010 at 7:51 pm
Stop. Stop.
…..
You had me at meow.
September 2, 2010 at 10:06 am
anyone notice the Alien in the background?
September 2, 2010 at 1:17 pm
Sense of resignation not included.
September 2, 2010 at 7:28 pm
I have spent the past 4 days reading all of your comix, and have wanted to comment on several, but decided to just do a group comment here, where it’s likelihood of being seen is highest.
Thank you Winston. I have laughed, cried, been angered, and been inspired. I have not always agreed with the message, but the delivery and it’s backing are always spot on. I had long since given up on the world, and it’s many people; but, after reading your work, i have lifted the veil of hate and awakened from my slumber of apathy. I have spent the last week enjoying the world, and people, around me, and have been able to keep it up with the help of another comic whenever i feel it creeping back. WIthout trying to be all “As good as it gets”, you make me want to be a better person. So, again, thank you Winston, for the ride, and the lesson.
September 2, 2010 at 10:42 pm
I reread it just now and the background of the third panel made me sit back in stunned silence. I don’t see how I missed that thing.
Also, in regards to the “game”: I think the best roll you could make is 5 and then 2.
September 3, 2010 at 5:27 am
HR Giger reference for the win. Absolutely made my day.
September 5, 2010 at 9:26 am
looking down and NOT seeing the “next button” was very depressing 😦 these comics have been my hope and joy lately 😀 thank you Winston.
September 5, 2010 at 5:49 pm
POOR THING!!
Let’s hope the pussy-in-safe is some metaphor only*, and the dead-looking dog is her shoulder bag.
Also, having an emperor size bladder wouldn’t be all wrong out there.
*kidding or not kidding, that’s the question.

Also, are the letter in the Bg some kind of hidden message or I’m just being paranoid?

It’s nice to see Pink-haired girl again as she used to be. ^^
