“…I tell ya, wives: even in death they continue to nag, amiright?” Tsk. With his projector on the fritz, Les resorts to a little standup technique to engage his fans.
This strip appears to be little more than a shout out to Brazos Bookstore, a popular independent bookstore a few blocks north of Rice University (and 20 miles from the Brazos River) that hosted TB’s tour stop in Houston.

A big tip o’ the SoSF coonskin for that bit of info, Billy! I had assumed that it was some kind of a play on the name Amazon (the Amazon and Brazos are both rivers, and both names have z‘s) or maybe the name of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. But sho’ nuff, TB has borrowed from real life. Compare the “exterior shot” from today’s strip with the one from Brazos Bookstore’s website: it’s the same place, with a couple TB touches, like changing the color of the building and transforming the car that’s parked outside to one of his trademark generic minivans!
