| "In which Webster has a dorky first name... besides Webster, that is." | [Nillan] Out in the Libraria schoolyard, nobody messes with Webster. He's the biggest, most accurate dictionary around. / [Magazine] Uh oh. Here comes Webster!
/ [Book] Let's get outta here! / [Kid's Novel] Webster ain't so tough! I heard a rumour that his first name is Merriam! http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=710 |
| "In which hippie-chicks are probably not okay with being called 'chick.'" | [Scott] Enough with your crazy dictionary-talk! / [Scott] The food is arriving! It's time for some STEAK!
/ [Nillan] Weren't you a vegetarian the last time we spoke? / [Scott] Oh yeah! That was a phase. I was dating a hippie-chick at the time, you see. She broke up with me due to "lifestyle differences."
/ [Nillan]... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=711 |
| "In which Scott's tongue wears a hat and speaks with a drawl.'" | [Scott] Mmm. Big knife + blood = good meat. / [Nillan] I don't understand how people can eat their steak that RARE.
/ [Scott] This is the only way steak SHOULD be eaten. / [Scott] When I eat steak like this, my taste buds feel like COWBOYS!
/ [Scott's tongue] YEE-HAW!
/ [Nillan] When I watch you eat... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=712 |
| "In which comparing steak and turkey is a bullish excercise." | [Scott] If you like grey meat so much, you should stick to DARK TURKEY MEAT. Leave the red meat for us real meat lovers! *chew chew* / [Nillan] I LOVE dark turkey meat!
/ [Scott] That's ridiculous! You like DRY steak and WET turkey! / [Nillan] Fowl should be wet! Wet steak is foul!
/ [Scott] That... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=713 |
| "In which Nillan and Scott leave the restaurant." | [Scott] You tell more bad puns than anyone I've ever known.
/ [Nillan] I work based on quantity, rather than quality. I figure the more jokes I tell, the higher the chance that one or two will actually be somewhat worth laughing at. / [Nillan] Leyla always found it to be one of the cuter aspects of... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=714 |
| "In which Nillan admits to never mastering his lessons as a child." | [Scott] Look, Nillan... Based on past experience -- relationships end in one of two ways. / [Scott] Like the Titanic -- quick & messy. / [Scott] Or like a leak in a canoe stuck in the middle of the ocean... slow and dreadful. / [Scott] Either way, same result.
/ [Nillan] I can't swim. http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=715 |
| lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=716 | [Nillan] Hello library, my old friend. / [Library] Hello Nillan. I have seen a lot of you lately! / [Nillan] I'm not so sure that's a good thing. / [Library] Why not!? Reading helps one escape into new worlds. / [Nillan] It's really preferable to live in this world! |
| "In which Nillan sees a friend in an unexpected place." | [Nillan] I'm sorry, library, but our relationship is over. / [Nillan] I'm going to walk in the library, return this book and leave! You won't tempt me with a classic or even a sci fi pulp... / [Cinn] Hi.
/ [Nillan] Hi. http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=717 |
| "In which Nillan has doubly good timing." | [Nillan] Cinn... I didn't know you worked here.
/ [Cinn] I don't, normally. I'm a call-in today for someone who is sick... normally I'm at the downtown branch.
/ [Nillan] So this is good timing then! / [Cinn] Doubly so! My shift is over in five minutes! http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=718 |
| "In which Nillan wants a slice of something hot." | [Cinn] There's a pizza place across the street. Would you care for some food?
/ [Nillan] Of course! What a SLICE of good luck! That sounds very apPIEtizing! / [Cinn] You're one pun away from a STROKE of bad luck.
/ [Nillan] HITTING on me already? http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=719 |
| "In which Nillan tells one too many puns, and Cinn reveals her childhood hero." | [Nillan] You hit me?
/ [Cinn] You didn't actually think you could get away with that, did you? / [Nillan] You have an astoundingly good punch. / [Cinn] You serious? I only jokingly hit you you know. / [Nillan] Are you sure you don't have an older brother or three? / [Cinn] Only child, sorry to disappoint.... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=720 |
| "In which Cinn disses the crane kick." | [Nillan] What sort of role model is Tanya Harding? She doesn't seem to be a very classy broad. / [Nillan] Cheating, female boxing, "interesting" career choices, domestic violence, disgusting home movies...
/ [Cinn] I never said she was a role model! / [Cinn] I simply said that if you wanted to beat... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=721 |
| "In which Nillan and Cinn go to Ragazzi for a pizza." | [Cinn] So, you must be doing okay, huh? You've finished school, right?
/ [Nillan] Yeah, I'll have to go back, I think. I'm doing an internship right now at a newspaper and I'll be starting BCIT's journalism program in the new semester. / [Cinn] A journalist, huh!? You'll need glasses! *PLUNK*
/ [Cinn]... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=722 |
| "In which an ancient lady trusts a mathematician for wardrobe advice." | [Nillan] With such a strong perscription, how can I trust that you accurately described what I looked like in your glasses?
/ [Cinn] I used imagination and an educated guess to assess your looks. / [Nillan] Educated guesses should not be used for fashion! That is how corsets were invented! / *In slightly-more-ancient... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=723 |
| "In which three exclaimation marks denote an amazing event." | [Nillan] My imagination has pretty much stopped working these days. / [Cinn] How do you make up the news, then?
/ [Nillan] Making up the news is pretty unethical. / [Cinn] But it's so much more entertaining! What fun is "Prime Minister Seeks Re-Election" when the headline could read: "Godzilla Attacks... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=724 |
| "In which there are things that are better than accidents." | [Cinn] You know, I'm REALLY enjoying this very silly discussion.
/ [Nillan] Yes. It's been an absolute PLEASURE seeing you by accident. / [Cinn] Accidental meetings are the best kind.
/ [Nillan] I suppose so. But I wouldn't mind seeing you on purpose once in awhile, either. http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=725 |
| "In which foreign-language movies are ridiculed." | [Cinn] Want to got a film after this? I am going to a film at the film festival. / [Nillan] You're going to a movie by yourself.
/ [Cinn] I don't know too many people into paying to see a foreign-language movie with no famous Hollywood actors. / [Nillan] Foreign-language movies can be fun... that is,... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=726 |
| "In which there are things you can't do without a moustache." | [Cinn] Oh come now! Not all foreign films finish negatively! Some have sexy endings!
/ [Nillan] Which variety were you planning on seeing... the sexy type or the sad type? / [Cinn] The sad type.
/ [Nillan] I knew it!
/ [Cinn] One doesn't go watch sexy movies by themselves.
/ [Nillan] Not without a mo... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=727 |
| "In which eating is good." | [Cinn] Ah! Here comes the pizza now!
/ [Nillan] Piping hot! / [Cinn] The smell of pizza is one of my most favourite smells!

/ [Nillan] Yes, but easting is good, too. http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=728 |
| "In which Cinn is certainly not crusty." | [Cinn] You going to eat that?
/ [Nillan] I'm full. / [Cinn] Really? Well then... *munch* / [Nillan] You know, eating someone else's food is a pretty intimate thing.

| "In which Cinn defines her food philosophy." | [Nillan] You, my dear, are positively off your rocker.
/ [Cinn] When I was growing up, my Mom never wasted food. Green corners were cut off cheese and the rest was eaten... Bread was only bad when it was so hard your teeth broke. / [Nillan] The good ol' "God-made-dirt-dirt-won't-hurt" philosophy.
/ [Cinn]... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=730 |
| "In which Cinn broods over a career move." | [Nillan] Ha ha! My Mom always used my Dad to test foods when she thought they were, you know, ROTTEN. "Try this," she'd say... "Does it taste O.K.?" Men are not mice! / [Nillan] Did your mom ever do that to your Dad? / [Cinn] I don't actually KNOW my dad...

| "In which Nillan pays the bill." | [Nillan] I'm sorry for bringing up your dad... I didn't know...

/ [Cinn] In a moment of anger, my mom burned all photos of him when I was a baby. / [Cinn]... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=732 |
| "In which Cinn is dropped off at home." | [Nillan] Thanks for a wonderful night out, Cinn. The movie was amazing... the pizza was great. It was fun to talk.

| "In which Nillan sits like a girl." | [Nillan] I feel so GUILTY!
