Yeah, but everyone pronounces it like sour now, and there's pretty much no going back at this point

The sadly-no-longer-correct pronunciation was DOO-ur. It's not as if pour is pronounced like sour, in this dumb nonsense language, but everyone expected dour to be

"If the opposite of respective is irrespective, then the opposite of regardless must be irregardless!" is math that needs double-checking

Use a wrong word often enough, eventually it ends up in the dictionary, but it doesn't mean I have to obey in advance! I've already conceded the pronunciation of "dour" but I'm still fighting the "should have went" conjugation war

Panel from the comic strip Mark Trail depicting a raccoon looking ornery and the caption 'That's editor-talk for "no."' The cartoonist Jules Rivera's signature is in the bottom right.

"grudge" is a nounβ€”to bear a grudge
"grudging" is an adjectiveβ€”a grudging respect
"grudgingly" is an adverbβ€”she did it grudgingly
"begrudge" is a verbβ€”and I can't begrudge her that
Not interchangeable. There's no such word as "begrudgingly"

*Lake Yellowwood Slaughter…but somehow you've accidentally hit on the original title.

IMO it really benefits enormously from the page-turns in print, but do what you gotta do!

That first panel always made me believe Quitely was watching wrestling. That's a shot from a handheld camera at ringside is what that is

Part II is my least favorite. The entire plot is predicated on Marty being a shithead about the risks of time travel as if his own mother wasn't trying to fuck him LITERALLY THE NIGHT BEFORE

He was cast in the first one to play his actual age in 1955…needed an excuse to ditch the 1985 old-age makeup

Fuckin' love Dakota North, we got to use her in the Brubaker/Lark DD run…my favorite bit was that she and Foggy are sneaking around somewhere, his cellphone rings, and she says something like "Turn that phone off, this isn't a movie theater!" implying she takes (maybe even makes) calls at the movies

Once, a frog and a scorpion met at the edge of a river, and the scorpion said to the frog, "You knew how this story ended the moment it began"
