2009-02-06: Seedy Bus-Stop (popeye's)
Popeye's has the best biscuits.
"Which way is the flophouse? There are two, the citizen said. The good one and the bad one. [...] The good one has the best roaches. The bad one has the best martinis." -- Donald Barthelme, "The Dead Father"
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:
- Axel suggested: Dr. Quickly gets off the bus at the wrong stop and experiences the seedy part of town.
Text transcript
<<VRUUUUU>> Dr Quickly: Hell's ass! This isn't my stop!! Dr Quickly: Well you're a rather large rat!! Rat: You wanna start something, buddy? Dr Quickly: Well, since you mention it, I have a few ideas! Rat: ... Let's hear 'em. Rabish: I can't believe you eat at "Quickly and the Rat's Hasteful Restaurant". Rabid: They have the best biscuits! Rabish: They're the ones that sued to define "food" semiotically instead of nutritionally. Rabid: Hey, if they want to call this a biscuit, that's fine by my mouth! Rat: Do I LOOK like an "infestation", Miss HEALTH INSPECTOR? Noel: N-no sir! Noel: I mean these guys. Roach: Do I have to pay for the free refills?
