Great, so now everyone reading this knows where your mom has hidden her money. If I was in NYC, I’d come and break in and start rifling through your Carson McCuller books and tossing aside your cushions right now!
Julia, you are much, much nicer than me! When I was living in Brooklyn, I refused to let the ‘rents stay at my places.
I never knew why they would even want to anyway, when they had a whole house to themselves. But I guess yours are coming from much further away as well.
You are a kind child. I’m glad to see it’s going well for you all so far. And yes, very cute.
I don’t know why, but the fact that it was a Carson McCuller book is extremely funny. A Michael Chabon novel wouldn’t have been even remotely funny. Why? I don’t know.
The Toxic Avenger was the live action movie upon which Toxic Crusaders was based, Mr. Harrison. Toxic Crusaders was originally a cartoon but was branched off into other forms of media. Crusaders was marketed to children, while the movie was not, and I can understand why it causes confusion.
I saw Toxic Avenger when I was twelve, uncensored, on local television. I enjoyed it, and I need to own that movie.
Ha! I work(ed) for Troma, the company that made ‘The Toxic Avenger’; they’re based out of Queens. I’ve yet to see the musical, though I have my fair share of promotional items. I moved back to sunny LA before it premiered in New Jersey. Queens is…not a fun place to live. O_o
Troma has another (film) horror-musical called ‘Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead’ out on DVD. Check it out, it’s delectably fucked up.
By the way, that was just a friendly suggestion on behalf of a longtime FP reader/book owner, not a shameless plug on behalf of a soulless shill.
-how did Grand Central end up as your parents’ gateway to NYC?
They flew into JFK and took a shuttle into the city. They could have just taken the subway but it was three transfers and a long walk and who in their right mind would throw their parents to the underground nightmare that is the NYC subway system? so the shuttle took them there where we met up. I mean, uh, that’s where the teleportation machines are located.
-what’s your address?
currently I reside in Fantastica, which is being destroyed by the Nothing, so you’re shit out of luck. That $40 is MINE. I’m keeping Falkor too.
-Julia, you are much, much nicer than me! When I was living in Brooklyn, I refused to let the ‘rents stay at my places.
haha it’s funny because you’re an asshole. It has nothing to do with being nice, I actually get along with/enjoy my parents company and am happy to help them save money rather than shuffle them off to a hotel. Did you forget that they let you stay at their place for the first 1/4 of you life?
-Grand Central Station? Those train things arrive at Grand Central Terminal.
-I find your handwriting hard to read.
jesus people, you nitpick more than my mother does!
I just got my Mystery Theater comic. Nice when you know what it is from the handwriting on the envelope.
PROS - Hilarious 20 pages, you’re missing a lot if you just see it on-line. LoL lines like “With the amazing technology of a pen and paper,” and the exit from the whiskey well. BTW, the little guy with Sherlock Holmes is Dr. Watson.
CONS - “Will appear on your credit card statement as “Fart Party.” And the dedication “thanks? JW” I’ve never seen “thanks” followed by a question mark.
MY VERDICT - A definite buy. If JW had put the whole thing on-line as five successive episodes, we’d all have loved it.
Julia’s Mom - nice to see you’ve lost that plaid shirt.
Well, I have to add, that I didn’t let them stay with me, b/c I had roomates or no room. If I had extra room, I’d let them stay. But it’s hard to justify to roomates that the parents will be cramming the place when they have a full house only about 2 hours away.
And if they didn’t want me staying with them, they shouldn’t have had me! It’s not like it’s the 1800’s or anything where I’d have been put to work at 12 or anything.
I was driven to your site by Kevin’s column today (a.k.a. counterstrike) I’m going to Copperfield’s later today to see if I can find your books….hopefully yes?? If not it is amazon.com all the way, just want to support the local bookstore if possible.
If Metro North ran to Napa, this girl would be blissfully happy. Though it is 75 degrees here today.
Argh, can you turn off that horrid substituting-graphical-smileys thing?

Your parents seem like quaint individuals. They almost seem like a social experiment. Kind of like an ant farm.
March 23rd, 2009 at 3:51 pm
This is an inane and pointless question, but how did Grand Central end up as your parents’ gateway to NYC? Does Metro North run to Napa now?

Ummm… what’s your address?
March 23rd, 2009 at 5:35 pm
I love when my parents come to visit. They do really cute things too. And pay for everything.

I got my Toxic Avenger tix a few days ago - it’s great to read a recommendation from someone with taste. Whew!
By the way, your mom’s excited arms in Panel 4…hilarious!

How does it feel to be more suave then your parents.
I would probably act about the same, though I have been to large cities and know what BYOB means.
March 24th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
yay! your parents make me happy- my mom does stuff like that, too.
3 adults in a tiny studio = adventure.

Grand Central Station?
They came in through the post office?
Those train things arrive at Grand Central Terminal.
/me skulks away to do more train-spotting.

This was nice. But I find your handwriting hard to read.

whats the relationship between the Toxic Avenger and the Toxic Crusaders?

Now the key is to rearrange your books. Your mom will forget where she put it, and voila, free money!

I also googled you because of Kevin’s column today. Does he have to pay you?
Love the comic!

I thought that said the money was hidden in your boobs…
That said, I know someone who keeps her phone in her bra, so I guess that’s why I latched onto that interpretation. Sorry
