Today’s strip has bricks! And snow! And a store called “Black Hole Comics.”
So, you know me! I had to google “black hole comics”. From the Wikipedia article I learned:
Black Hole is a twelve-issue comic book limited series written and illustrated by Charles Burns and … released in collected form in 2005….
The story deals with the aftermath of a sexually transmitted disease which causes grotesque mutations in teenagers.
So, yeah, as DSH said in yesterday’s strip: “it’s kind of a rough place.”
There is a Black Hole Comics in Columbus OH. The YELP review indicates it’s a real rough place..
Epicus, you are a viddy viddy bod mon! I love your version of Funky Winkerbean.
And now I’m trying to figure out how a place could be more unwelcoming than DSH John’s miserable hole-in-the-wall shop. I have a sinking feeling we’re about to find out.
I bet it will be a strawman of readers who either find comics kiddie-fare or like anything past the Bronze Age.

IT’S A GOD DAMN COMIC BOOK STORE. WHAT IN HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU BATIUK.
I agree with DSH on this one, Holly will be fine on the mean streets of Canton. She was born in Westview after all, home of the only hospital in the nation that hangs an “abandon hope all ye who enter” sign in the maternity ward.
If this place is such a hell hole, why couldn’t she have called before hand to make sure that the damn comic is even there rather than trek all the way to Canton?
