Silly pratfalls and slapstick have their place, but don't need to be in every comedy. Sometimes you want a thinking comedy. The laughs don't have to come from punch lines, pies to the face, or other obvious juvenile behavior. Sometimes you just want quirky, seasoned with a bit of sad and a whiff of aggravation. King of California delivers on those fronts. For a take-this-home impulse item from the library while I was in the midst of a Netflix lull, it proved to be a wonderful surprise.

The 884th stickman comic is missing here, and it's the clue for understanding the 885th. The Walmart trampling was news here in Portugal.
Whole new definition of consumerism!
Thanks for the heads-up. I went in to tweak a typo and ended up messing up the whole entry. It's all corrected now.
