Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for January 23, 2010
Transcript:
Clayton: Di dyou get good grades in school, dad? Adam: Umm...I was more street-smart than booksmart. Clayton: So, you were good at directions? Adam: No, street-smart means more like you have a sense of what's going on... ...You can feel things intuitively that a classroom can't teach. You're not easily fooled... Clayton: One vote for book smarts.

I just registered with my Visa Card as a “genius…” I felt it worth it for “free Comics.” I do not mind paying for a SERVICE. Trouble, NO SERVICE??
PROBLEM - No previous free comics, no GENIUS PAID FOR comic, what do we have here a scam? I am TRYING to be honest, guess I failed.
I am webmaster for Gods Eagle Nest - Google it, you might just learn something about where you might go if you tell stories…

If you look at the drawings of Adam on the banner at the top of the screen, it looks like Adam’s nose has indeed gotten bigger lately, especially in comparison with the drawing at the far left (in the T-shirt).
The second Adam from the right (collar and tie) actually appears to have the smallest nose, but I think that’s the only one by Harrell rather than Basset. Perhaps Harrell is trying to more closely mimic Basset’s style nowadays, but he’s gone a little overboard on the schnozz.
There’s a story that when Wally Wood was drawing Romance comic books in the 1940’s, he decided that he was going to make his heroines’ chests slightly bigger and bigger every month to see how far he’d be able to go before anybody noticed. Supposedly, nobody caught on for a looong time. The story might be apocryphal, but it fits with other things I know about Wood, and it provides a plausible explanation for this “most common superpower” among comic book women to this day.
