    At Comics.com we never had a problem with a little rain in a comic making the colors run.

    Maybe Universal Uclick doesn’t have a big enough budget to get the fancy colorfast pixels.

    Too bad, too, cos it IS a beautiful drawing.

    Shoulda used some fixative spray, rOdd.

    Of course, who expects rain on the 23rd of July.

    Nice. Just plain nice. This would make a nice print. Clever idea. Susan: in our parts we have just had so much rain that it felt like this had happened.

    I like this; rain always makes me melancholy.

    it’s bad behaviour, to colour your language with extra, unneeded ’u’s. It tends to give it a different flavour.

    the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson used the British spelling of honour, which was changed to honor by the final draft. Why did he make this change? It could have been an innocent spelling error, or perhaps it was just another act of rebellion against the British.

    I know it’s San Fran, but when I first glanced at it with the pouring rain my first thought was Rainbow Row in Charleston SC. It rains there a lot compared to SF

    Ah, but when it rains in San Francisco and you live on a hill, it can rain perpendicular to the street.
