I read Victoria's Secret catalogue for the articles, mind you. But I am upset to note its omission.

This is my personal favorite strip of the series. Direct, un-nuanced, and funny as hell....

I see Madblood as the Penthouse type because, if he ever found himself in a sexual situation, it really would be a case of "I never thought this would happen to me."

Hustler is better suited for (mad) clinical study. Penthouse is more for the sane scientist with a libido. Playboy is for the sane scientist with a libido and liberal sensibilities. Maxam is for fifteen year olds who haven't figured out how the internet works in regards to nudity.

Just wanted to give you this handy guide.

"Hustlers" just scans better. "Penthouses" has too many syllables.

In the eternal Flynt–Guccione war, is Guccione that much more cerebral, or is Hustler just lower class? Because if he is a midwestern boy, the local magazine does seem more appropriate for Madblood.

A hundred Pulitzers and a Von Boom for letting Madblood come out on top.
I can't see him as the Hustler type, though. I'd thinkPenthouse would be more his style. No wonder he needs the secret room.

The last panel here reminds me of the Dave Conspiracy boat that nothing could catch except a robot with propellers. It makes me imagine that there’s a list somewhere with “Things That Can Save Helen Now” written at the top, and nothing else on it but “a flying island crashing into Dave’s CPUs”. And both of them have seen this list, but Dave figured, “What are the odds…?”

I can't believe that she deliberately jumped off the island. She's mad, not crazy. She's lucky to hit the pool and lucky that there's water in it. In the previous timeline, she hit the bottom and ended up as a brain in a tank. But Dave has already said that he wants to keep her alive (albeit under control) so that she can make him a new body. He's just posturing with his threats.

“Yes.”
