So um, our Monday update seems to be on Tuesday this week… Hey, that’s only one day late – that is, if you don’t count the week that we were late before that… Sorry for the delay – I hope the massive disappointment of this comix page was worth the wait…
Yeah, I know, you’re probably thinking: “Cardboard Sailor Chix, what a Lousy, Cheatin’ Bagle Fagle Blxflxbkr that Quagmire is!” But, y’know, in my own defense, dig out one of those old dogeared slightly stained Sailor Manga that you’ve got stuffed under the mattress – what’s it printed on? Paper right?!? An’ Cardboard is kind’a sort’a just a heavier weight paper – So y’see, they’ve Always been Cardboard characters!! It’s all in how you think about it…
By the way, as I also need to post a new August Calendar over on: http://www.cuteybunny.com on the 1st – you probably shouldn’t expect a Thurs update on B&K this week…
Uh, didn’t see that one coming. Exactly how is Bunz going to keep her cover by paying off the comic store owner? Maybe in silver coins with the seal of her empire stamped on them. Or does the owner hire her and Katz to substitute for the damaged cardboard figures?
Perhaps the moral here is: Being Cast Iron leads to Type Casting… except that Katz isn’t actually made of cast iron, but some sort of alien tech malleable metal… But you get the point… sort of… uh, what was the point again?
I suppose that it’s fairly evident by now, that there’s not going to be an update again this week… “Sorry ’bout that Chief”… I had worked a bit on a filler pin-up, but then dropped that to go back to work on the page panels…
Though to be 100% honest *Ahem* what really has slowed down progress is this whole al-Qaeda Brouhaha… Y’see, over the past few days, I’ve spent a lot of time, sitting in a hole in the back yard, wearing a skillet for a helmet, an’ on the lookout for trouble – Jus’ doin’ my part to help keep the neighborhood safe… So far I’ve rousted a family of raccoons out of the dumpster (I suspected them of anti-american activities) While a small dog tried to piddle in my hole… (apparently an accomplice)… I might have made a major bust there, but some neighbor heard the ruckus and called the Cops – forcing me to beat a hasty retreat back inside – Which is why I’m here, back workin’ on the B&K page… Yet we all must remain alert and staunch in our resolve! Exactly what that resolves, I’m not certain – but we gotta do it, it’s the ‘Merican way!!
Apparently we can not sue for a peace accord with members of AQ, because it has been decided in the highest of places that that they are not a nation state. And according to immortal rules we can only war with nation states, and therefore only make peace with the same. So lacking any other alternatives we have our drones and fox holes for presumably the next thousand years, or until AQ achives statehood.
I’d give it about 13 minutes, tops. Take about that long for the present Afghani government to pack several passenger jets with gold and dope and take off…
Millions in gold and dope are one thing. The real prize, perhaps belonging to China, is trillions in rare earth super magnet minerals — used in wind energy farms and electric automobiles (permanent magnet motor and generator components). Even AQ couldn’t long ignore that store of wealth.
I sort’a doubt that the Chinese would put up with much nonsense from al-Qaeda… More than likely, they’d show ’em how it feels to be Jehaded themselves, high, wide an’ horizontal – Tiananmen Square Style!!
Taliban will take back Afghanistan and they’re welcome to it. Honestly I could care less about the future prospects of the good burghers of Kabul. We went in because they gave aid and refuge to a group of people who had killed and were still killing American civilians. We got rid of the Taliban by backing people who had to live with them and really did not care for them. If they repeat offend we can do it again – without all the nation-building nice nice this time. Jus’ sayin’.
Oh, and by the way – I’ve been enjoying your stuff since first seeing QT in Critters back in ’84…. ’85? Something like that. It’s been awhile. Don’t always see eye-to-eye on politics but love your work. (I have even bought it from time to time!) Now I’m going to go back to waiting for the rest of Dyke-tective. ;->

They’re either dirt stupid or a stone genius…..

Poor Katz … being heavy and metallic, naturally he always ends up being type-cast as The Projectile.
Perhaps the moral here is: Being Cast Iron leads to Type Casting… except that Katz isn’t actually made of cast iron, but some sort of alien tech malleable metal… But you get the point… sort of… uh, what was the point again?
I was going to make a joke about two-dimensional characters but then I remembered it was about Manga characters and realized it was just too easy…

Um… Which should happen about 15 minutes after the troops are pulled out of Afghanistan…
