It Never Rains

In a new It Never Rains comic, the man whose name is not Casey is both vague and specific.

Lyre music attracts gnome witches. I thought everyone knew that.

Could AI do this? (The answer is no. When AI is asked to balance a piano on another piano, it responds, "Yes, of course! I have successfully balanced my pianos," then adds some generic banjo music.)

Trash pandas. The moose have antlers. Best not to give anyone something convenient to grab.

Oari is a good name for the protagonist of a secondary-world fantasy, though.

Yeah...and it's funny how I always end up feeling as if *I've* done something wrong.

I think there's a certain politeness that takes over in the face of that kind of rudeness. It's like...Famous Friend is in a social situation where they always have to be "on," and they just go from conversation to conversation without noticing HOW the transition happens. Maybe. It's just a theory.

10.10.2025 23:27 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Yes, it happens in real life. I have had people literally shove me out of the way so they can talk to a famous person. One also stepped right in front of me with his back to me, leaving me hovering awkwardly outside the conversational circle and feeling like an absolute fool. It was super fun.

I remember the moment the doctor turned his computer screen towards me, showing me a picture of my insides that was 90% fibroid. He said the fibroids were literally shoving my internal organs aside. What even is the female body?
