“Jump the shark”? We jumped the shark here at Fade Resistant loooong ago, my friend.

Come back on Wednesday for an “explosive” 600th comic extravaganza!

What’s up with the weather these days? This weekend was absolutely gorgeous, which was a nice break from the hot (and, dare I say it, sultry) weather immediately before that. And now today it’s downright cold. I know global warming is a misnomer: just ’cause the overall temperature of the planet is going up, doesn’t mean it gets hotter every day; in fact, it makes the extremes more extreme. I get it.

But can we just get back to 70 degrees F (or, 21 C for you snooty non-American rest-of-the-world-ers) and sunny every day? How about perpetual spring? I’d even be okay with perpetual fall. Who’s with me on this?

So, saw Equus
Harry Potter and the SomethingSomething last night. Was a’ite. The creepy girl who looked a lot like that jerky, preppy kid who’s always antagonizing Harry, and then in clichéd terms gets his comeuppance was good. And creepy. Aside from that, the movie lacked urgency, which is ironic because it’s the only one of the movies so far that actually tries to achieve any urgency. They spent too much time on Jackie Kennedy Hitler the Ministry lady who jerks everyone around, and not enough time showing how the forces of darkness and eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil are actually dark and eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil. “Oh no. The woman in pink is being mean. We’re doomed.” Doesn’t exactly strike fear in the hearts of men, but I suppose this ain’t high literature either.

Oh yeah. I went there.

Alternate quote in panel two: “Till death do us part!”

I’m not a Buddhist, but I was one in a past life.

Comic 45, in case you were curious.

There it is, the first of many Bad Ass Poses to come.
