Yeah! They’re all about killing and violent conflict! None of that disgusting sexuality in it. If they see that sort of stuff, then they’ll want to do it, and that’s the last thing we need.

You can buy the series (or at least some of it)     HERE.     He is a “warrior of God.”

Warning!

I don’t know whether that page worked when you accessed it from Germany, Tigressy… But from here, on my tablet, I have to say…

DON’T GO THERE!

It opened a page with a list of the issues of the comic…

But clicking on the first one opened a page of irrelevant advertising, and then some

MALWARE POP-UPS…

persistent windows pushing me to install obviously fake “browser updates”, with no way to close them.

My popup blockers didn’t stop them, and the tabs wouldn’t stay closed by any method till I rebooted my tablet.

Adblock plus and Cookie auto delete as plugins in my Firefox browser on Ubuntu – no problems here.
Sorry that the site is so hostile to you. I honestly didn’t know.

Here’s the picture (I saved it and uploaded it here from my laptop):

Apparently, right comic, different issue…

It looked different, comparing the artwork, so I tracked it down… who would have thought he had his own comic!

I think this is the one in the rack (if this link works):

They have got to be wholesome if Joe Friday is watching over them.

Look out, he’s escaping.

He’s trying to get to Cleo and Company Productions… maybe looking for a chance to be a movie star like Cleo.

I don’t think he knows he’d have to wear a basset costume if he wants to work there.

OTOH, he could just want to settle down in Cleveland… where there are lots of nice spots to suit a leopard.

A thought-provoking image. An excellent candidate for a “write a story based on this image” exercise.

Everyone of a certain age had a crush on her. 🙂

Not me!

She’s not my type.

….

She did make me crazy in another way…

Women wanted their hair cut like hers… some never got over it even when it was long out of style.

But the problem for a haircutter is when they won’t believe that her hair is not only naturally thick, it’s full of products like mousse and gel, and very carefully styled…

For a picture like that, you can bet there’s a stylist standing off to one side every minute, with a curling iron, a round brush, and a big can of hairspray, just daring some stray strand to move out of place.

Yet these women think that I can magically cut their fine, limp, or frizzy hair, so it will hang sideways in big soft curls…

All day, every day, and all by itself.

They only want two haircuts a year, and don’t want to use any products, not even good shampoo, cos they’d rather buy it at the grocery store.

Then they complain cos gosh darn it, they showed me a picture of Farrah but their hair doesn’t look like that.

Sigh….

There’s another bejesus scared out of a Cleonician. We need to assure ourselves of an ongoing supply. How is the Strategic Bejesus Reserve (SBR) holding up?

Grace has an impaling stare, and the last passenger to speak with has the surname “Impaler?” But was our victim impaled?
So many questions, with truth hanging in the balance.

Minnesota/Pagoda. I’ll bet the alliteration is a clue.

Oooh…. the Midnight Express seems to have hit a slight bump in the rails.

Well…. maybe not the train… but ace gumshoe Sam Basset seems to have been thrown a bit off the track.

It’s this Grace person, isn’t it, Sam?

Sure, she’s one crazy dame.
But listen up, Basset: Ya can’t let her get to ya.
 
Cos if I were a murderess…

Pardon me? NO… of course not… this is purely hypothetical…
Aww, c’mon… you guys KNOW I couldn’t be a suspect…

Ahem…. as I was sayin’…
 
If I’D just been very very bad girl… and I wanted to knock some nosy sleuth off the scent…

I might just buy myself a ticket on the crazy train.

I’d hop ANY “loco”-motive some long-eared shamus would be scared to board.

In reality, though (if there’s any reality to be found around here) crazy doesn’t mean innocent.

Crazy doesn’t prove anything.

In fact, nobody ever said Charles Manson wasn’t crazy.

Then again… some of my favorite people are kinda crazy, but AFAIK none of them have committed murder.

AFAIK.

Since the story hit kind of a crazy bend in the tracks, I figured it might be a good time to post “Crazy Train” again…..

(I know, I know…..apparently, I may be the only one who likes this song….)

I like it. I sometimes use the lyrics to describe my life. “I’m going off the rails on a crazy train”.

I like the music. Not a big Ozzie fan, though. One of my favorite groups is Metallica ~ I wore out one of their cassettes listening to it back and forth to work. They seemed to write some songs about my life.

Sadly, a wee tad overcooked.

For my taste anyway…

But since I never buy it, cos it costs about $20 a pound, more if it’s a good grade… I’ll be happy to eat it anyway.

…..

At Christmas time I saw a display of prime rib roasts at Costco… they were graded US Prime, which has gotten almost impossible to find at regular grocery stores… Not that I’m in the market.

The price tags I saw were in the $200 -$250 range.

It would be a shame (and kind of ridiculous) to pay $225 for a roast, and then overcook it.

I remember when pop would buy a standing rib roast and cut it into steaks, because it was cheeper that way.
Not any more.

I get the expensiver prime rib eye steak at Costco (infrequently) and cook it sous vide to avoid overcooking.

Just keep the end goal in mind. A little bit of suffering now for great things later.
