Oh, hay-all yes!

Whoa man… it seems like this hilarious comic *might just* be starting back up after a bloody five-yr hiatus working on their video game. To wit:

I’m not sure that’s really the opposite side, in reality.

Howe did this in 1989, so actually he was the one directly riffing on earlier artists’ versions of Gandalf, like Hildebrandt, Bakshi and Rankin-Bass. Or just iconic images of wizards that go back centuries…

This is from 1969:

I wouldn’t be surprised if the original joke goes back to the silent movie era.

Understood; just wanted to add on.

My point is more or less that this doesn’t have to be a closed-book situation about fish oil. Maybe it can help in some other way, and/or maybe it really can work as ‘advertised’ in conjunction with other substances. Certainly wouldn’t be the first time, if so.

Best webcomic I’ve read in a while. The intrinsic hilarity of the situation was ridiculously refreshing compared to the usual ‘straining to come up with something funny / clever.’

Most fish oil is completely ineffective:

I’ve personally noticed some powerful effects from fish oil: 1) it can act as a neotropic booster, particularly in conjunction with SRI’s and similar meds / substances, 2) it can cause me significant insomnia (no arrhythmia) if I take ~6-8 capsules.

Is that germane to this thread? Probably not, but something seems to be going on. Maybe fish oil has been studied so far on too limited a basis.

Seems like millions of redditors say just that through the many slaps in the face to users, then hang around anyway. :S

Thanks, Blaze.
Appreciate. ^^

I think when they said that, the implication was that there was no need for such. I.e. it interrupted the flow of the story and didn’t add anything useful, other than perhaps pandering to a certain crowd.

Oh, rabbits!

Well, if you’re looking for absolute perfection in a ST theme, good luck. It’s not like Mike Post or John Williams were writing these suckers.

That said, I thought Alexander Courage did a hell of a job on the original.

I find it ever-so-slightly pompous with all the horns, but otherwise, a cool remix of the original theme.

Roddenberry from what I’ve read in multiple places sounded like a huge asshole to me, and nowhere near the ‘Great Bird of the Galaxy’ he liked to self-label himself as. Now yes, a very talented asshole, whose vision started the franchise, and certainly who put in much work on TOS (along with many other talents), but nevertheless a real PITA on a personal level who wound up burning most of his bridges.

Point is-- if Meyer lost his cool with him as a young guy, I wouldn’t be very surprised.

Umm… whoah

Insulation and decoration.

Pardon the late reply, but what would the walls themselves be made of? They almost look like layered cardboard there. Or maybe sheet metal.

Love you @[email protected], but I spazzed out recently after a full year of pressing too hard for a ‘post per day,’ and I feel like I dishonored everyone here when I melted down recently. (I’m super-embarrassed)

So I appreciate the mention, but regardless of how I embarrassed the community, I can’t aim for one scholarly post per day, anymore. I just can’t. Sorry about that, matey.

Now I do plan to keep on posting as the mood seeks me, but I just CAN’T keep the community popular like this, all on my own. Even just a little bit of help would go far.

Ugh, sorry for all the bitching and moaning. :S

A couple of the big comics communities also churn out a good chunk of content every day… if you like comics. “ArtPorn” and “SuperbOwl” also come to mind. I recommend you keep searching @[email protected], because you may find some great content sources that you weren’t previously thinking about.

(late reply alert!)

Late reply, but in English media articles, it’s still fairly common for me to see references to what people said on Reddit. AFAIK there are also still entertainment sites (“Caveman Circus” being one) that still regularly harvest expert or semi-expert takes found on Reddit in order to construct ‘best of’ articles.

Though-- perhaps that activity is down somewhat, as you suggest.

Unfortunately for us fans, it looks like Callery Kearns may have retired. Maybe you know something more?
