Oh yeah… I had a comic, didn’t I? Vacation is over, and I’m back to the regularly scheduled programming. Maybe next time I leave town, I’ll be smart enough to load one or two of these onto my phone… but don’t rely on me being smart.
Can you believe that to this day, some old people don’t have e-mail? I don’t know how they managed to spend the last 30 years refusing to interact with the modern world. It must take real dedication.

The actors we had were great people, and I’m still friends with some of them on facebook. In general, actors only know what the encyclopedia and the script say about history. So many pet peeves of historians and re-enactors get passed on this way. I finally get the other tour guides straight on how medieval table manners work, and someone comes along with a whole bit about how Shakespeare uses “old english”- NO!
Not everybody spends hours reading scholarly articles for fun, I guess.

You can’t close a successful museum. A mayor can, however, make sure it’s not successful, then make it into a steakhouse.

I’m no economist, but it seems strange how large organizations and governments always have money for CEO bonuses and pensions, but not to provide the basic services properly.

They should have listened to sense and bartered for more stuff. It could have worked… if city hall played fair.

Casa Loma for a few years had a cool ren-faire. It was the best time of year because I got to wander the grounds in armour with a halberd as security.
For a time, they also had a deal with the local SCA. The SCA held their fight practices at the castle, and did special events for school groups, then got to use the castle for one of their events.
The catering department was outraged at the idea of bartering one night that they could sell for money. Eventually, the castle’s new catering company (installed by the evil mayor) dropped the agreement… and the castle sat empty because they couldn’t find customers. Actually, it got a lot more empty after the mayor started getting involved.
Where is #236? It was a highly specific reference to Aqua Teen Hunger Force’s marketing. I doubt anyone remembers the show, let alone that specific ad.

The evil robot, previously Shakespeare’s sidekick, is repaired and ready for another round!

I used to drive a Ford Taurus, so it’s an ox. Get it? That’s comedy! The worst part of Canadian winters is when you get that thin layer of ice on the car. The one that’s too thick to defrost and too think for the scraper to get any bite into. And, of course, I can’t keep the car in a garage because then were would all my spare tires and half-completed projects live?
Today is 30c and I am melting.

Remember Fritz Von Walmart from issue 133? This is his evil grandson. He’s not a dwarf, just short. I was going to make that more of a thing… then I forgot.
