2008-10-17: A Divorce (reconcile)
Is it a true story?
Some people think there's a real divide between popular culture and intellectual culture. I say, there's just one Culture, no matter if you live on a cosmopolitan General Systems Vehicle or a hick Orbital.
Dr Quickly's slang for his pay may be unfamiliar to those of you who don't handle a lot of United States ten thousand dollar reserve notes.
This comic is in the storyline:
- Variations
A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved.
This comic includes the contribution:
- ARRG suggested: Rabid and Noel are getting a divorce. Are they even married ?
Text transcript
Space Frog: OKAY A DIVORCE YOU HAVE TO BE MARRIED TO GET A DIVORCE Noel: So can I buy out your half of the divorce? I'm not going to use it for nefarious purposes!! Rabid: Sure! Thanks for explaining again why we did that. Noel: Now I just have to change the names... Rabish: I don't understand... my poetry book was so well reviewed but not a single copy sold!! Rabid: Uh oh... Dr Quickly: Believe me, I tried. Intellectual and popular culture will never reconcile. That weekly science column was good steady salmon, too. Noel: Ha ha let me sign a copy of my fabulously popular book for you! It's about a pretty lady wizard who transforms into a talking cat to fight dragons on the internet!! Rabish: I know. I read it.
