Ghastly's Ghastly Comic is entirely too perversely funny, and I think dglenn posted a link to a strip (different than the one I have below), so I blame him for my knowing about it.

Who says there's no use for Chick Tracts?

[edit: and, while the one I posted is pretty much fine, there are some comics in here which are _not_ work safe. Just thought y'all might like to know]

For the record: when I was in there on Saturday, Million Year Picnic had a box set of Chic Tracts for sale for $25. Yes, a complete set of bigoted hate, all collected in one place. I thought it was pretty funny, actually.

Heh. Collected bigoted hate!

You can trade your bigoted hate with your friends. . .

Poor Coco.

Of course, your ubergeek gal would have her tool belt handy, complete with the Channel-Lok pliers o'doom.

The degree to which this reply confuses me is utterly, completely amazing.

What?

[wcg.livejournal.com]

Let's see if I can define these things for you.

Ubergeek gal: Young woman with high geek-type talents. Someone like Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet.

Channel-Lok Pliers: Adjustable pliers which can be used to tighten or loosen anything from a small bolt to a drain pipe. Often used to remove stuck lids from jars.

Does that clear things up? If not, just identify whatever term is still confusing.

Who's Coco, and what Ubergeek gal?

(that's why I'm confused, although admittedly, I didn't know what the specific type of pliers was)

[wcg.livejournal.com]

Coco is the gorilla in the last panel of the cartoon. The Ubergeek gal is just an idealized notion of geeky young women that seems to pervade the communities of folks I hang around. She's not anybody in particular.

I have this odd belief that you are thinking of a different thing than what I actually linked to.

There's a tentacle monster in the cartoon I liked to... but there's no gorilla.

If you follow the first link, to http://www.ghastlycomic.com it takes you to a very funny cartoon with Coco the gorilla in the last panel. You have two links above, and the second one goes to the Chick Tracts and Tentacle Monster cartoon. It is also quite funny, but I was commenting on the first one.

ooooooh!

Ok. Now, I'm much less confused. Yay! (I'd not actually looked at the most recent comic, as I'm trying to read in order. Not that it appears to actually matter much)

Uh, folks, there's an in-joke here: The gorilla is Weeping Gorilla from the brilliant Alan Moore comic Promethea!

Yeah, one of my RL friends keeps pimping out Ghastly's to me. She might know the author? *forgetful*

Hee! *amused*
