[NonsenseWords]

D'aww.

Avery's house is built near a convenient mountain range.

Extraordinarily adorable.

Of course, even the most beautiful scenery cam become banal if you see it enough times.

[Cactus Jack]

Timulty missed a cool action movie that won't be on FX again for at least a day. That view will always be there.


Point: Avery.

Point: Avery.

He missed a commercial that will be overplayed nonstop for a year.

I think I have to side with Timulty.

Says you.

In the original, the first two panels are in monochrome, the last in full color. I've always tried to work some of the best things about Washington state scenery into the script, because I love it out here.

Actually I read the Phillip Caputo book A Rumor of War in college, where the author describes his service in the early years of the Vietnam war. His unit is posted in a dreary part of the country, and they get very bored and disgruntled, then they are posted to a beautiful area, and are joyous. But they are there so long that even the beautiful scenery gets to them.

I see, I missed the part where it is a commercial.

Is it fully colored in the book version of the strip? Or is the book universally printed in grayscale?

Not really. It's all personal outlook and opinion. I can look and walk at the same place as I have done for so many years now and not get tired of it. Any time of day really.

The Prehistrionics book is full monochrome. Some of the earlier collections had color sunday strips at the back of the book though.
