[facepalm] Yeah, after reading that, I’m feeling pretty scarred, too. Sweet bloody Jesus doing the twist on a hot poker. Someone’s been watching too much of that Sarah Silverman show.

No, Kyle, you’re not gay (and you’re not the only one who doesn’t want you to be gay, trust me). You either have a very bad sense of humor or a serious mental malfunction. …and possibly a couple of necrophilia and bestiality problems. Spellcheck is a boon to many people, by the way.

Please gods, don’t let him be gay. I don’t want that as even a tiny jot on the graph in our demographic.

People, this is the side of the Ask Adri column that you never see. I get a few e-mails a week; about 25% of them are legitimate questions, and then only half of those are questions that I can answer on the column, as the people who wrote in requested a private response.

The other 75%?

The other 75% are things like this crap.

Some of them are obviously pranks; some are seriously people who don’t understand that bestiality, taxidermy-related necrophilia, and homosexuality are entirely unrelated. [groan] Seriously. Did Ann Landers ever get letters like this?

Sorry about having to reuse the art from comic #10; I had an exhausting weekend and by the time I could settle down to draw the comic, I was so tired I could barely even focus on the light table. At least I upgraded the art a little, by replacing that cruddy tablet-drawn laptop with something involving straight lines. And I did a few color shifts and ooh, lighting effects. Suddenly it’s night time in my living room. Ooh. Ahhh. Magic.

Yyyyeah, it’s coffee time. See you kids tomorrow.

    I thought you couldn’t do straight lines =P

    And that is creepy =s

    I can’t do straight lines. Photoshop, on the other hand, is quite adept at them.

    …people scare me.
