The Return of Stickman #1166

While I haven't had a rude waiter in a long time, the ones I did have stick out in my mind. I tend to get the waitress you is in middle of a mental meltdown. One example would be the waitress who sat my wife and I down without leaving any menus. Five minutes later she came back to take our order then went away to fetch the menus. Ten minutes later she comes back with two beers and sits them down in front of us without a word and leaves before we can get a word out. This is very odd as my wife and I don't drink. Fifteen minutes later she comes back to assure us the order is on its way. We reminded her that we never got our menus, didn't place an order, and what's up with the beers? I can't remember if we left at that point or if we tried to stick it out and she never surfaced again. At some point the evening got so bad you just start to block things as a form of self preservation.

I drew this strip last month. It's a little dated now. But the benefit of posting it now means two things:

1. I won't forget to post it next year if I post it today.

2. I get a day ahead on my strip buffer.

It's a win win for everybody. And by everybody I mean me.

No, I'm not going to tell you what this is about. If you live in Nevada you already know. And if you live someplace else, you can do your homework on the Internet.

The Comic Critic Reviews "Moon"

I was truly shocked when Moon did not receive an Oscar nomination. The only reason I can think it didn’t get a nod is because nearly all of the film involves only one actor. And while that might sound dull initially, the story is far from boring. In fact, the story is riveting. If your instincts tell you that some parts of the film might set you squirming in your seat, your instincts would be right. This film joins other overlooked notable sci-fi movies, such as “Dark Star,” “A Boy and His Dog,” and “Silent Running,” as highly deserving of recognition as great films. If you haven’t seen Moon, or the other movies I mentioned as classics of the genre, you should put them on your must-see list.

Before you even ask, yes, this did happen. Tip to muggers: When mugging somebody location is key. Good locations would be dark alleys and parking lots. Bad locations would be in front of Police Stations and Ninja Dojos.

When my wife started to read this she was wondering if it was going to go anyplace, then she started laughing and I knew I had a winner.
