I remember listening to an editorial cartoonist who’d been asked by his new editor if he was the sort of guy who would scribble and scratch away all day and come out with a great editorial cartoon, or one of these guys who sat and thought about it a lot before he got to work.
The more astute of you have already realized by the language that the question is loaded. And that the cartoonist said he’s a scribbler and a scratcher.
Really, though… when you’re making up subtle plans- do you want Wile E. Coyote ordering up stuff from ACME and hammering up a deathtrap, or do you want a corporate villain who’s sitting calmly with his eyes narrowed thinking up ten different ways to cripple the bargaining leverage of another corporation? And making a sort of satisfied humming noise. That’s ominous, that is.
There is a time and a place for both of those.
This ought to be epic through, mummy has had time to hone this one.
Hmm. Good question, Greg. For “subtle”, Wiley is not your first go-to guy. But he does make for better viral youtubes. If my camera is ready, I’d definitely prefer Wiley.
Wiley presaged UPS/FedEx trucks delivering everything by about… 50 years
oh pooh dear. just genoa marble? so disappointing.
sighs…
Sounds like she talked to my mom.

Yesterday was Labor Day. That’s why he didn’t show.
In my opinion, “Can you drive me and my bike to…?” is only a legitimate question if the bike is trashed or there is an ocean in between.
Agreed, for the most part. I’m thinking the distance in this case might be rather large, though. If he wants to BE there, taking all day to GET there may not be optimal. 😉
especially considering he road his bike to work all the time when he was living with Hubris.
Don’t they have staff for that??
Ramon is David’s driver and if David is out and about, Ramon won’t be there. Not sure if they convinced Mariola to come back or replaced her yet. And it isn’t clear how many staff there are.
