I've been excommunicated by B.I.C.L.O.P.S. HAPPY NOW? / PSYCHIATRIST: It's a start. Now, this other "secret organization" you keep talking...
Ugly Hill- A Daily Comic Strip by Paul Southworth HASTINGS: This pamphlet proves NOTHING!

Ugly Hill- A Daily Comic Strip by Paul Southworth HASTNGS: Mr. Osgood? Might I have a word with you? / BAKER OSGOOD: Oh! Er, of course! Kilgore, was it?

Ugly Hill- A Daily Comic Strip by Paul Southworth [[HASTINGS returns to work.]] / SAMANTHA MUDRICK: Hastings! You're back? I thought you were running Ned's campaign. / HASTINGS: Not anymore.

You guys went to high school...
Ugly Hill- A Daily Comic Strip by Paul Southworth [[ZADEL MANGLASS arrives at the record store.]] / ZADEL: KILGORE! I KNOW I SAY THIS EVERY TIME I SEE YOU, BUT I WOULD KILL FOR THAT LAST NAME.

Ugly Hill- A Daily Comic Strip by Paul Southworth ELI: You're giving me your band? But...WHY? / ZADEL: Because you didn't take the store.

Does that mean you guys...? / THATCHER:...
Ugly Hill- A Daily Comic Strip by Paul Southworth ZADEL: There is no CRYING in Metal, Kilgore. Unless you walk into some pyrotechnics or something, and EVEN THEN... / ELI: Zadel, what are you doing here? I thought... / THATCHER: *SIGH*...Zadel does this a lot. We just hoped maybe he'd stick to it this time. / ENGELBERT: Every few months he gets...
Ugly Hill- A Daily Comic Strip by Paul Southworth ZADEL: Thanks for keeping my mike warm, Kilgore. / ELI: What? NO! You made ME the lead singer! You can't just take it back! / ZADEL: Dude, the only reason I picked you in the FIRST place was because you're such a screw-up.

Ugly Hill- A Daily Comic Strip by Paul Southworth [[HASTINGS is hiding behind his desk at home. We don't see him in this panel.]] / HASTINGS: NO THIS IS NOT A PRANK!

Ugly Hill- A Daily Comic Strip by Paul Southworth ELI: Come on man, I'm seriously inviting you. Come with me. / HASTINGS: Legitimately inviting me is one thing; legitimately being invited YOURSELF is another. / ELI: The guys from the band are throwing a Halloween party and they told me to bring as many people as I wanted! / HASTINGS: Sounds enchanting....
Ugly Hill- A Daily Comic Strip by Paul Southworth [[HASTINGS doesn't care for Halloween.]] / HASTINGS: Maybe I should have gone to that idiotic party.
