      Nobody dies in the strip. Which means everyone is killed by the truck’s children off screen.

          I usually don’t like Chuck Norris jokes, except this one:

          Once upon a time Chuck Norris had sex with a robot.
          The result is nowadays known as Optimus Prime.

    I-It’s the rain. It’s the storm we all have to endure. We hate it but it’s every drop that runs down your face that traces out who you are, your shape… including the freshman fifteen you’re already rocking down south. Seriously, if you’d lay off the studying a little and go out with me more often we might have kept up. We just got owned by a WoW nerd with a pair of bolt cutters. The storm shows me so much right now, but not your abs.

    January 17, 2014 at 10:33 pm | #

    Concern: that this is going to be a coin-flip of perspective; one, Dorothy and Walky’s sweet, romantic adventures (with which I sympathize and from which I think most readers derive a good deal of amusement) and two, Amber’s equally understandable POV. But, my concern is that with the latter, something negative will occur. There’s a moral shoe to fall somewhere, usually, in Dave Willis’s comics, and what if Amber is the new Ruth in a Princess Diana fashion? To evade pursuers who didn’t see anything wrong in a chase for their own goals– who actually had a lot of jesting fun out of it, and for whom it seems to have been just a tiny bit of a game– Amber’s been put in a dangerous position. She’s on the roof of a moving truck, in the rain. Just saying, she could get really badly injured as a result of her attempt to evade publicity.

    Alternately, we could cue to Amber drying off safe and sound, or skip the rest of this entirely and see Amber in another context later, thus deducting she was pretty okay with the truck-surfing; until then, though, the nagging feeling fears something horrible will happen.

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.
