This Anomaly introduces the Earth-shattering concept of Viking Helmet Day, which is "fucking mandatory." For failing to realize this and consequently choosing to foolishly ignore the holiday and go to work sans-Viking Helmet, Cox's head is forcibly removed from his body by his boss, Wilson.
Fans of other comics on Hyperdeathbabies.com will recognize Wilson and Cox as the names of the lead characters in 50's Apocalypse. To a greater or lesser degree (depending on the mood of the author, I gather) the Anomaly characters are intended to be the same characters.
But that's not what we should be talking about. What needs to be discussed is how we can transform Viking Helmet Day from a utopian fantasy to a reality! AND IT WILL BE FUCKING MANDATORY!
Gibson the Technomancer was crushed by the falling ceiling after disbelieving some load-bearing illusions in this comic. Also crushed were his friends Tim and Skatha. His other friends Neuton (a spirit who possesses things, usually inanimate things as explained in the comic) and Sterling (a technomad (which is apparently a person who exists only on the internet (so a nerd, then?))) have respectively possessed a robot suit and taken control of a cyber-zombie to dig the others out of the debris. Gibson decides Neuton and Sterling should switch places and this all leads to a series of caulk/cock puns, which are by far my favorite puns, as remarked upon in this Stray Thought from the original (now dead) version of this blog:
"My mom sent over some white latex caulk about a month ago intending for me to seal up some holes in my trailer where rainwater gets in. But instead, I think I'll go out somewhere with a lot of people and walk up to people asking if they'd like to see my white latex caulk. Cause that'd be funny."
COMIC GENIUS! I'm also fond of nut/nut puns, as in when you have a can of mixed nuts and you offer some to your friends by saying "Would you like to taste my nuts?". Or perhaps you inquire as to your friend's preferences regarding nuts by asking "Do you like to taste my salty nuts?". Or maybe you leave your can of nuts sitting open on a table near one of your friends, then walk away only to wait for your friend to partake of your nuts, then you can jump out and say "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY NUTS!!!".
This comic makes the very important distinction between sponges and cats. I myself have never had and difficulty telling sponges from cats but I can imagine that if someone had had this problem many awkward situations could arise!
For instance, sponges cannot be trained to use litter boxes! Similarly, cats cannot learn to breathe underwater! Sponges are less cuddly and affectionate, yet cats absorb far less water! Finally, sponges are far less proficient at catching mice, whereas cats are far more likely to vomit on your carpet where you'll be far more likely to step in it!
I myself prefer cats, although if I was a superhero I would want sponge powers. Cats are neat and have some fun abilities, but I just can't see being distracted by dangling string coming in handy that often, whereas reforming after being dismembered and absorbing water would be highly marketable skills!
FINALLY! Someone has created an eCard for the specific purpose of sending to people with awesome eMail addresses! That's eTastic! (I suddenly find myself wondering why no one ever coined ePorn...I KNOW NO ONE EVER DID BECAUSE IF THEY HAD EVERYONE WOULD BE CALLING IT THAT NOW!!!)
I find the woman described in this card (who types in random addresses and sends them cards) highly intriguing! I believe I would date this woman given the chance! Then I'd hopefully send her this card.
Also this comic references waking up covered in blood, which goes very well with the song I posted THE VERY SAME DAY (see blog 9-14 (although I had written the song over a year earlier)) which includes the lyric "Today I woke up covered in human blood".
WELL LOOK WHO'S BACK! The TV! As I said when I commented on the TV's absence from a recent Horribleville (see blog 9-5), TV used to be a regular but has appeared infrequently lately! BUT NOW HE HAS RETURNED TO PLAGUE KC WITH HIS DISTRACTING PRESENCE!
Horribleville has become quite existential as of late. Could this be the end? No. KC specifically said it wasn't. But it's an interesting development. I think it's pretty great, myself. I don't have the energy to translate my self-loathing and depression into comics. BUT IT MAKES IT ONTO THE BLOG SOMETIMES.

Being a Technomad means Sterling has no physical body. He's converted his entire brain to a digital format that jumps from computer to computer. (Hence the "nomad" part.)
Also, nice blog you got here.
