I *knew* it.

Although the narrative that I had worked out with this PS 238 plotline was slightly different: I had the Crystal Skull pegged as a supervillain who had first infiltrated the casino in order to steal from it… only to discover that his organizational skills and mild megalomania were actually well-suited towards rocketing up the corporate ladder to head manager.  And, of course, at that point he was in that sweet spot where the money was rolling in, the minions were bustling, the papers were avidly following every cackle and grandiose statement, and those cops and do-gooders could do nothing, NOTHING! MWHAWH-BAH-HAH-HAHH!!!!!

But having him just open the casino in the first place works, too.

PS: As you might have guessed, I’m a fan of the webcomic PS 238.

Hey, quick request.

If you’re a webcomic artist who is not drawing a politically-themed webcomic, do your readers a favor and not drop politically-based entries at random, and without warning.  Particularly if you think that you can be extra-rude because there’s not a chance that one of them will be reading you.  It jars.  It certainly makes it abruptly more likely that you’ll never get a link again.

Yes, xkcd gets away with it.  You are not xkcd.

Thanks in advance!

PS: I’ve pretty much dropped the few political-themed webcomics I was reading, mostly because I’m trying to find a place where I can stop thinking about that sort of thing for a while.

I’m going to disagree with xkcd here…

…slightly:

…there’s going to be a dividing line of about 1920 or so; prior to that, they won’t have enough audio/video recorded material to get a good gestalt of the time periods involved. For that matter, I expect linguistic drift to slow down a good deal, now that we increasingly have the ability to hear how our great-grandparents talked.
