i always wanted to travel by train because i thought it would be very nfity or romantic. so, i went to see my sister in nc (i’m in sc) and what should have taken 6 hours ended up taking upwards of 12 hours both ways. no toilet, asshole conductors, and the worst motion sickness of my life. on top of that, i got stuck sitting by a religious fanatic for four of those hours on the way up. you’re comic is perfect: go in happy, leave homicidal.
thank you amtrak.

Wow! That is beautiful!! The colors AND the artwork! The section with you sleeping and dreaming would make a great t-shirt or poster/painting!
As for the Amtrak stuff: Holy fuck that’s a nightmare! What…were the injuns sabotaging the train tracks again? Amtrak’s motto should be: “We’ll get you there…even if it takes forever!”

Jeeze, they’re baking Grayhound look GREAT.
December 1st, 2006 at 12:58 pm

Holy nuts! I can’t imagine a 49 hour train ride.

noboby likes a whiner Julia. Nobody.
I’m visiting, again. Next week. I’ll use one of those telephone things.
December 1st, 2006 at 3:55 pm
oh fuck you, jeff, I listened to your bitching for two goddamn years. at least I take my whinin’ on the road, unlike some permanent livingroom couchfixture thing person…whatever, I’ll be around, give me a call when you get into town.

What the good godamn are you talking about? The travelling series ends?? You’ve only done TWO comics about Rhode Island, you whore.
We’re fucking magical here, too, bitch.
And I can’t believe Laura keeps Lewis’s shitbox in the KITCHEN! Ew.
December 1st, 2006 at 8:25 pm
i am DYING for better suggestions as to where to put lewis’s litterbonks, you have more than a few joelle where are they?! And should I stop wrapping lewis’ poos in foil and making dazzling napkin rings out of them?

laura, it is kinda weird that you keep it in the kitchen, I didn’t really think about it until now. you’re filthy. we’re not friends anymore.
and miss spinelli, yes, you are magical over there in rhode island too, but since we spent far too much time drinking and yaking and dancing at pirate shows, not much art got done. And while Laura & I did a fair amount of drinking and shootin’ the shit, we spent a lot of time doing nerd drawing stuff too.
OR- how’s about you bitches fight it out in a hot oil wrestling contest? titties!
December 1st, 2006 at 8:55 pm
Julia, the next time I see you I’m gonna bowl you over (with love) and take a dump on your face. And since we’ll both be fifty by then, it’ll be dry old lady dumps from a dry old lady ass. I believe that settles that. And me and Laura WILL wrestle all slathered in oil, but no one can watch. Cause our love is sacred.
Laura, I keep my multiude of poo boxes in my back bathroom, but since it is off my bedroom, I am often woken up by a smell that can only be described as Satan having crawled up a cat’s ass and died there. But I can wave at the kitties from the toilet while we take delicate shits together, and that makes me happy.

OK, geez, I take back the whole airplane thing from several comics ago. You trump me. Fifty-one hours. Damn.

if you wanted a bed and an outlet, you should have bought a sleeper. if you only buy it for the night portions of the trip, it isn’t that expensive. plus you get a free dinner that way!
also you get pillows in coach! they’re the same as the crappy airline ones, but they count.
you must understand that train delays are usually not our fault, since we run on other companies’ railroads. we actually run on time whenever we don’t get screwed over by foreign line dispatchers. i’m sick of everyone saying stuff like “amtrak sucks and it’s always late.” news you can use: greyhound takes just as long, is a lot dirtier and shadier, oversells its buses constantly, and usually costs around the same for a coach seat.
if you want to get there fast, fly. if you want to see the country, take the train.
(also I won’t even touch the motion sickness thing, the notion seems pretty ridiculous to me. ashley, have you ever been on an airplane that hit turbulence, or a ship out on the ocean? the rocking of the train going through the occasional curve or turnout doesn’t hold a candle to the sickness potential on other transportation modes.)
anyway, your comic is okay!

hey some amtrak guy:
-the sleeper I asked about cost $600. that’s insanely expensive for a train.
-while normally there are pillows, for the long haul, they informed us we didn’t get any on this train, and we were without for two days.
-and while I recognize that delays are not anyone’s fault, the displaced anger is going to end up somewhere when you sit on a nonmoving train for 3 hours. nothing personal.
- if everyone says “amtrak sucks and it’s always late” then it might just be right. It’s like that friend who’s like “everyone says I’m really negative & I smell bad but I think I’m great” and now he has no friends.

Love the Andrew Bird poster on the wall. Photoshop is magical.
