That's a bit better - better completely irrelevant than clunky

Now, how's about that Triad smiley [not Trip Girl - Triad! (with short hair)] . Did you not see the results of that matchup in the name poll?

It's not completely irrelevant! Dr. Gym'll has a HUGE comic collection (well, at least he did pre-boot!)

YEAH!

And thank you KP for reminding me of it and coming up with the cool name!

Dr Gym'll had a comic collection? Well, I guess that makes more sense then. It still makes me think of medical oddities or something. Well, it's not like I have a better idea or anything...

I especially like the shot of ultimate despair on Gmy'll's face on the top of page 2 when he looks around and sees his comics collection totally wrecked. Poor Gym'll! That Mekt! What a bastard!

And this reminds me. Was this the first time we found out an inkling of Gym'll's religion? I'm assuming, and maybe making an ass of myself by doing so, that his exclamation of "By the Buddha!" hints that he is a Buddhist.

And the cover to the (obviously Flash) comic on page 8 panel 4, says what? Unknown first letter, then maybe an 'O', and 'A', and then a 'B'?

Was this before Interlac was established?

please send your telephone number, mom would like to discuss something with you.

i've acquired and read the issue referenced. it is obvious that the pamphlet creators are using garth's account of this event. not only is he lacking an objective point of view, one can tell he's been watching bad holovids. claiming i verbally and physically attacked saturn girl and destroyed pamphlets - what a transparent attempt to inflame the emotions of the pamphleteers.

and some of this dialogue! i sound a little like me, but "lying telepath"? that doesn't even make sense! i do not know the former miss ardeen well, but i know enough not to mess with her. there's no reason for me to, and she already has that garth-shaped albatross around her neck so anything else would just be mean.

and that ending! i end up spelling my title for the crowd? hello?

(speaking of spelling, i can correctly spell dr. gym'll name.)

I keep telling you brother, you are in serious need of a recharge. You dimmer than a refrigerator bulb.

Is it just me, or did the preboot Dr. Gym'll have a much larger head than the postboot Dr. Gym'll? No, seriously...

I've noticed the same thing about Oans. When did big heads become passe?
