We’re cruising up on Weird Week, folks! That week when I don’t typically find the time to make new cartoons.
Not that I don’t want to, mind. It’s just the other stuff that goes on.
But we’ll see.
Also, I’m late sending out Patreon Patrons’ Christmas goodies, and I apologize for that.
You do what you have to Greg. Happy Holidays and all that.
Poor Mrs. Nutley. I at least got hit with a tat needle and have some holes in my body that I didn’t put in there from accidents… heh. (note: never EVER buy self piercing earrings!)
Wonder what Hubris bribed Nikki with…
On Jackass, a bunch of the guys tried to see which was worse – tattoos and piercings, or getting multiple papercuts one on top of the other. Papercuts won hands down.
Back in 1996, when we still had dot-matrix printers … I printed something that was 50 pages. I bent the edge, started to tear it off, and then proceeded to give myself one helluva paper cut … that sucker bled and hurt more than having teeth pulled out!
Worse is a box-kiss where you’ve slashed a corrugated box open with a utility knife… those can require stitches.
The worst two places to get a papercut: across the web of your thumb, and parallel under a fingernail (yes you can do this)
Oh the under the nail is a painful mo-fo … I’ve done similar “under the nail” damage…. also when I was 6, my left foot was smashed in a community pool door … and the doctor had to pull the big toenail out (it was at a 90degree angle).
I’ve lost the big toenail on the right twice and the one on the left once. They grew back ALMOST normally, the right is more messed from doing it again… LONG stories about all that and yes I know about how long it takes to regrow the nail over the bed and the weird things it does while it tries… again and again… and I was a lot older than six. Worse than putting a cactus spine under a fingernail and having to dig it out is sewing through your fingernail at the base…
I think Greg is going to set Nikki up to have some fun coaching the Nutleys. I love their enthusiasm.
well, GOOD LUCK to you Greg. and in case in advance HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
also what the woman came from? a bubble wrap or a just a living in a glass life? geez she is scaring me.
What is Nikki’s tattoo anyway? I’m unable to recognize it.
I’ve kept it vague. I know what it is, but it isn’t very interesting and there hasn’t been a reason to put it in the strip yet. At some point, there’ll be a reason, I’m pretty sure.
Cool, thanks. I had my own ideas, so I’ll wait and see! 😉
Y..You are gonna have this soccer mom get piercings and tats… You evil EVIL genius..
Years ago I used to wholesale hematite and sterling jewelry to various headshops and tattoo parlors. I was about age of ‘your mom’ or worse ‘undercover narc’… and when I’d walk in to service the contract I’d often empty the store. One day I walked into one tat parlor and someone was on the big chair and a few others and they were all going to bail including the one getting inked and the guy yelled for them to HOLD IT and introduced me as the gal that makes all the cool jewelry. REALLY?!?!?!? I had a couple of new velvet boards under arm and put them out to prove it. Mr. Shrapnel Face bought three pieces… honestly why you want to pierce THAT is beyond me, just do NOT rattle your tongue stud on your teeth and we will be good, gotcha? …I can see Mrs. Nutley getting a rolling pin tattoo as a tramp stamp… I really can…
Happy holidays, Greg!! Hope you get a break; we will wait!
Nikki’s hair always reminds of cotton candy.
