Who Me?

@TKG – Yep, oddly enough, body shape is generally less of an identifier for me than anything/everything involving the head/face of a character, unless of course the profile view of the character is one of the most significant identifiers of their personality. McGinty is also missing his beard (as I recall without verifying because I’m too lazy to archive dive – HA!), but it really is the crew cut that threw me off. I also want to claim that his speech is harder to follow than it was in previous stories, but I’m not certain of that so I’ll chalk it up to my overtaxed memory.

@ThreeOneFive – Haha! Next time, Gadget! Next Time!

Consider it a compliment to the writers that you put in the clues, but still managed to write a surprise reveal. Well, unless of course you want to take the TV approach of storytelling where you just leave out essential pieces of information so the viewer can’t possibly solve the case, guess the outcome to the drama, or what have you, before the ‘writers’ want it revealed.

I loathe that kind of ‘writing’.

Why am I unfazed by that last sentence?

Totally. You can even see the welt on the other side of his head in that panel.

He is going to have one hell of a hangover when he wakes up.

T. Gatto, I imagine you with your fingers crossed as you open the page each week, hoping against hope that this is FINALLY the week that Custer gets cut in half.

Heh.

We would like to thank the Academy…HA!

As always, thanks for reading, TKG.

Trust me, I am just happy that FOR ONCE we got away with a reveal that none of you called first.

Glad to hear this page hit the spot, Timothy.

I also enjoyed Inglorious Bastards. I think it’s my favorite of Tarantino’s later films. I love that it takes actual history and throws it out the window to give the characters the pleasure of taking out Hitler.

Easy on the head, dude; he’s already got a concussion (or something).

Now do they get to cut him in 1/2 and weld his innards to a submarine?

I’m really looking forward to this for some reason…
