On this busy street
paved with crushed investors dreams I skate

Hope it's not too late
to save my bank account

And I skate alone

My favorite so far. This seems the most Tony Snark to me. :3

If I may ask, what font is that?

I'm ninety per cent certain it was Letter-O-Matic, a freeware font from BlamBot fonts.

The ten per cent uncertainty exists due to my 'method captioning', which involved getting drunk and pretending I had a lot more money than sense.

If you make one of the bubbles come from the car, it becomes C3PO and R2.

Blambot Pro, my favorite font ever. Not free, but a steal at $20. Almost all of Nate's fonts are worth paying for, really. I've bought tons of 'em - http://blambot.com/fonts.shtml

He just straight-up kicks ass. There's plenty of FREE comic fonts there too. Some nice ones too, but they lack the occasional bell and whistle.

Blambot - nice foundry! Is it cheeky to ask people to buy you fonts for Giftmas? Heh.

Is that a HoJo's up ahead?

I wonder if they have a glory hole?

Yeah, I should definitely stop there. I mean, I can get some pie. I could certainly use some pie.

Incidentally on a personal note while driving cross-country a few years ago I stopped at a large number of rest stops along I-80 and I-70 and I found very, very few glory holes in men's restrooms in the remote parts of Western states. Actually, IIRC I only found one. This is truly a sad state of affairs. The Internet has lied to me.

A perfect day, and look at these poor saps trapped in their metal boxes.

Next time I'll bring an umbrella. Curse you, Superman!
