I saw that, too, Greg (or is it Bulmash?)! *waits for Carlisle to confirm, er… deny it*
I loved this one, especially the last 2 frames. The only thing that would’ve made this even better is if the character he was talking to was like, “Dude!” after he said he wanted Morio’s body. But, then again, maybe it was said in that language I don’t understand…
@Winnie – most people stopped directly addressing me by my last name sometime in the mid ’90s, except for my best friend… who I’ve known since high school (back when people wore parachute pants and girls dressed like Boy George for Halloween). Only he uses a really insulting variation on my last name and I use a really insulting variation on his.
Love the art in this one! Nice work, cool use of the other language too. Maybe that is Mandy Patinkin playing the part of Diego in this strip! Did you ever consider that! He’s not that busy to turn down the role.
Muahaha! You shouldn’t have told me that, Bulm— er, Greg. Now it sounds all “retro” to refer to people by their last name. Your comment made me laugh, the way you put it and the things included. The only thing I’m confused about is this – did people really stop dressing up as Boy George (I thought that was the 80s… but maybe “The Crying Game” caused a resurgence?), because, er… *runs to closet and replaces Bedazzled “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya” t-shirt with a “Frankie Says Relax” t-shirt and tosses out Androgynous makeup kit*
But it’s still okay for me to wear a neon yellow t-shirt with fluorescent orange, pink, and green letters that spell out “U Can’t Touch This” and Zumba pants, right? Right? I just don’t understand this newfangled fashion…
@Winnie: My best friend and I became friends shortly before Reagan was elected to a second term, just as we were starting junior year (wow, I’m old). I think parachute pants, Miller’s Outpost, and that Flock of Seagulls hairdo all died with that decade. Hammer pants, on the other hand, shall never go out of style.
Of course, I was never stylish enough to wear them. I married well, so I leave urban style to my gorgeous wife wife while this pasty, fat old man wears jeans and the strange t-shirts he designs.
Thanks for the responses people. Really, getting to read these is why I do this. And on top of everything else, we get Greg’s origin story. Sweet.
Here’s a clue, by the way. When I include chapter links to the website, I’m planning to name this one, “Storybook Storyline”.

“Of course, I was never stylish enough to wear them. I married well, so I leave urban style to my gorgeous wife”
Awww! It’s always nice to hear a dude speak highly of his lady!
“and the strange t-shirts he designs.”
You design t-shirts? Do you have a link, or are they just for your personal collection? Are you like Judah Friedlander(sp) from “30 Rock” who has a different one [hat, in his case] he wears every day? Or are you like Arnie in “The Last Action Hero” and your closet is filled with the same shirts, jackets, jeans, etc…
Plus you get points for referencing “A Flock of Seagulls”. When I read your comment, I ran (so far away)…
Carlisle, are you telling us to get a clue? ‘Cause I’m kinda slow, you know…
The art is mostly stuff I licensed or commissioned (can draw, but not well). The concepts are all mine. My faves are the “Haiku about Bacon” and “Learn to Pimp” shirts.
Then there’s my Zazzle store which has some of the same designs as well as some different ones like “Hebro” (my sons – Jewish dad, Black mom… like Lenny Kravitz), the suicidal giraffe (one of the few I actually drew), and other things I need to put on my CafePress store.
Winnie. It wouldn’t be a clue if it was easy to figure out. But here’s a better one. If I was just writin’ stories about Super Morio then it would be glorified fan fic. “Storybook Storyline” is a reference to a song (with the same name, minus the “line”)I remember that came out sometime between 1986 and 1988.

Well, tomorrow we’ve got–hold on.
Seriously? S-she WHAT?!! You referenced “Last Action Hero”?!!!!! That’s it. No comic tomorrow. I’m shuttin’ down the studio!! Now go get me some Cambodian breast milk!

“Seriously? S-she WHAT?!! You referenced “Last Action Hero”?!!!!! That’s it. No comic tomorrow. I’m shuttin’ down the studio!! Now go get me some Cambodian breast milk!”
So, what, C? You just gonna do your taxes? Is that what’s hot on the streets right now? Turn my headphones up! (Yes, I realize that was a different skit)… Well, cluelessness aside, you already know you and STC had me at “I’ve GOT to quit drinking”. And yes, kudos to argonassistant for bringing up STC’s anniversary! Congratulations – it’s been really fun tuning in each week, sometimes 3 times a week *glares at C’s “Real Life and Studies” for taking time away from another strip* to see what’s going on with Devon, Cory, King, Gabby, and great pop culture references from some of our favorite things!
P.S. – I saw Common when I was watching “Street Kings”, and… it disturbed me. *waits for comment about what I was doing watching “Street Kings”* But not more than Keanu Reeves’ acting did, though I shoudl be used to that after so many years…
Greg, mixing the races is wrong, dammit! Just kidding – I’ll see your Blewish (Hebro is much better – did you make that up?) children and raise you 3 “Black Irish” of my own. I was just talking about Lenny Kravitz’ (grammatically, can you put an ” ’s” after a “z”?) heritage because we were talking about “The Jeffersons”… Again, it is just a great thing to see a guy obviously in love and knowing what he has – I have a great deal of respect for men who talk like that about their wives. But I still love Al Bundy, too…
As for your shirts, they rock! My favorites: UrkelBama (Not to be confused with “The Rock Obama”), Disco Alien (the “Saturday Night Fever white leisure suit always gets me, and the alien is well done), Jedi Coffee Break, Stop Staring, The OC, and my birthday’s coming up, so I just might buy a “Learn to Pimp” T-Shirt. Because you just can’t get through life unless you know how to “lay a smackdown on a punk-ass motherfuck-r and make sure he stays down” (all of them were funny, and the image and the order form was – well, it was the perfect spoof shirt, and my favorite kind of shirt is the baseball/raglan, so I love that it’s offered in that, too). On Zazzle, I also liked, “is it nine months yet” and the Baby Pirates design. I love pirates!
No, but I’m working on patenting Guinness and Juice… Everybody got their cups, but they ain’t chipped in…
If you just vomited in your mouth a little at the thought of that, you’re not alone…
P.S. – In case it was confusing, LerSean = Leroy/Sean… I couldn’t put Seamus in there if I tried… But apparently, I “shame us” all on my own with this entire line of … whatever this is…
Is Diego looking disturbingly like Inigo Montoya to anyone else?
LOLOL!

I’m more like Arnie. I have about a dozen shirts I cycle through. When you have a fabulous wife, you make concessions, like dresser and closet space.

So, I’ve got a niece and nephews that are Blirish? …hmm, I never knew.

Yeah, I hide them sometimes. In fact, excuse me for a moment…
*yells loudly in background* LerSean – get back in your cage!
Yeah – instead of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, they celebrate St. Ides Day…
Go down to the Pot’O'Gold store – you know what I’m look-ing fo-or…
…this racism is killin’ me inside…
