Well... What exactly is shown in the last frame? New York by nuke light? An alien city? An L.S.D. trip?

Nope, I found it readily understandable.

It's meant to be a futuristic city. Anyone else have a problem with that?

I thought it was very good. A very dramatic episode!

I liked the bit with Rob's eyes more. FrEaKy! It has that kind of european-student-art-animation thing going on (this is a genre of cartoon I try to avoide because I was psycologically damaged by one when I was too young to know better. But none the less, I apreciate it's influence and un-denyable high quality. Indeed, the echos of the deeply disturbing nature of "that" cartoon add a kind of very personal menace to the thing with his eyes. Perhaps this is too deep though, as this is only a comic strip!)
[note: I apologise for the "zany" style writing further up. I cringed as much as you did]

What are those weird string thingies between buildings, if that's what they are? I'm not trying to nitpick, just curious.

In my Yahtzee guise my middle name is Yahtzee. It is also my first, last and only name.<P>If you mean, what does the R. stand for in Benjamin R. Croshaw, I'll tell you. It stands for Rebel. It stands for Rogue. I'm a free spirit, playing by my own rules, scorning the system. And for all you ladies out there it also stands for Raunchy. Hee hee hee.

I don't know what these animations you're talking about are, but I do know I wanted to post a humorous remark regarding today's strip but didn't want to start a new topic, so here it is:
"In a women's logic contest, the winner, by a large difference, was a random number generator."<P>This is all.

I wish I knew the name of the cartoon I saw. I think that perhaps if I could get hold of it and watch it enough, it would de-sensatise me to it. As it is, it lingers like an enigmatic nightmare in my mind! ARRG!<P>Indeed, it wasn't made any less scarring by the fact it was about death. ooh, I feel queasy thinking about it! This can't be normal.<P>Anyway, I can just imagine how any puppet adaptaion of Alice (I assume of wonderland fame) could damage a young mind. I don't know if mine was meant as a horror, but if it had been, I probably wouldn't ever leave the house! (I think though, that it was a little un-fair to have broudcast [spelt wrong] the one I saw just after the childrens cartoons ended. Sadistic indeed).<P>but yeah, slasher films are wuss compared.

This sounds freakish, and yet it fascinates me greatly...

i fear that having grown into the kind of person who finds "jam" funny (that's the channel 4 show, not the strawberry conserve) I would find the taxidermed bunny giggle-enducing these days. Although I really want to see the film now. It DOES sound disturbing (if a little OTT).
the one I saw was more subtle... But I'm not going to think about it.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to stray to the original topic of the thread again...
It is very likely that I am either very stupid, or simply don't know English well enough, or both, but what does 'fetuous' mean?
I've looked it up in most ofthe dictionaries I posess, toying with the Os and Us even, but none seem to have it.

YAHTZEE: 'Ang on ... say thet again.
PAUL: Why? And why are yeh talking in an Australian accent?<P>Well, I think it's an Australian accent. I work off Steve Irwin documentaries and episodes of Neighbours.
