Hey guys! SoSFDavidO dropping in… *sniffs* is that burning perfluorooctanoic acid I smell, along with numerous other chemicals known to cause cancer? Oh, wait, it’s just popcorn! It got mixed up because popcorn REALLY CONTAINS those chemicals that cause cancer.

You see, in animal testing, the chemicals cause liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancer. Studies show that microwaving causes the chemicals to vaporize–and migrate into your popcorn. “They stay in your body for years and accumulate there,” says some spoilsport, Olga Naidenko, PhD.

No wonder Les looks so happy. He’s already banking on his advance for “Cayla’s story.”

You see, Les is a Real Genius!

Oh, Les, you romantic tiger! When the snow starts falling and you have a couple of long, cold winters days ahead of you, your thoughts turn to all of the hours and hours you’ll be spending with your wife. Too bad for Cayla, it’s his dead ex-wife that her husband’s affections turn to.

What in the world is Cayla so happy about? I assume Les flees to his den and shuts her out while he’s working. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe he makes her read dialog in Lisa’s voice to make sure he’s got the emotional context down.

Either way, Cayla, if I were in your shoes I’d rather spend the day in the freezing garage reading old Reader’s Digest magazines by car dome light than spend another hour with your block-head of a hubby.

SoSFDavidO here! My eyes are so itchy! What’s going on? I usually only get this way in the presence of a ca– a ca— achoo! Cat. *sniff*

I thought we’d seen the end of the cat after Lisa died…

Les the Genius Writer had troubles of his own
Hollywood is asking ’bout his script on the phone
Though writing was his forte, he was really good at that
He just couldn’t shake that creepy talking cat

’cause the cat came back, the very next day
the cat came back
you thought it was a lame arc
but the cat came back
he just couldn’t stay away

SoSFDavidO here! Ready to be ground under the millstone that is Lisa’ Story: The Book the Movie?

Apparently Sisyphus himself had it easy compared to the monumental task of turning a completed book into a screenplay. Evil, money grubbing Hollywood! He’s only had two years to work on it, what do they expect, miracles!? Sure, Les could have turned it over to a couple of really talented screenplay writers that really understand the art, (belong to a union) and have experience but that would have robbed him of his chance to be miserable!

“*I* want to write the screenplay,” Les had told Apple Ann in a huff over the phone.

Well, there ya go, jackass. Not sure what you’ve been doing in the year since you left Montoni’s to work on the screenplay more but it sure hasn’t been working on the screenplay.

SoSfDavidO here, surprised that Tombat’s script actually seems a bit timely today! Though it was written a year ago, in January, so a weather-related joke couldn’t have been too hard to predict being relevant.

The strip is a little strange– I thought Cody and Owen lived at Comix Corner, sleeping on a cardboard box that had been thoughtfully flattened out by John but it appears these two have actual homes and families!
