You don’t have to repost it, because it was shunted into either the Moderation file or the Spam file and I’ll spot it within a few hours and get it online.
These are a few of the things that get a post automatically moved to the Moderation file: two or more links, and certain words including “suck” (which is a real painwhen we have a comic about vampires), “sex” and “penis.” A post goes directly into the Spam folder if it contains racial epithets, or any of the more common sexual terms, or if it was written by Morris Keesan. I have no idea what the WordPress spam filter has against Morris — there’s nothing hidden in either his name, his e-mail address or his ISP name that should trigger this sort of problem — but nonetheless…

Okay, I understand that the FBoFW characters aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer, but shouldn’t Lawrence realize that that part of most animals — himself included — will likely smell bad?

Slager: These three comics are right in a row in my paper. A terrifying triple synchronicity!

Actually, depending on what part of the country you’re from, sometimes it does: A couple of years back, my publisher asked whether we had enough room for “the article about the organ woman.”
“The what??”
Took a while before I realized he meant an article I’d written about a private detective from Oregon.

yellojkt: Beavers = construction workers and deer = hot babes? That sort of inter species sexual harassment is just sick.

The top Jacko-related story Wednesday was that his will didn’t leave anything to ex-wife Debbie Rowe. Is it common to leave money to ex-spouses?
This certainly can’t be a case of “they ran out of things to write about,” because there’s certainly no shortage of rumor and speculation still to be mined.

Nicole: Ok — the economy is in the toilet, jobs are scarcer than hen’s teeth and it is an EMPLOYER’S market. Why wouldn’t this guy RAISE his standards and tell Eno to take a hike and interview the next guy?

All the recent talk about famous people dying in threes (though it’s unclear who’s supposed to be the third celebrity along with Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson — sort of like all the various candidates for the “Fifth Beatle” or the “Eighth Wonder of the World”) calls to mind this Far Left Side comic from earlier this year:

Newsweek might have gone through a format change, but the editing still seems to be non-existent: not just the grammatical errors, but also the bits of writing that just don’t make any sense.
In the current issue, a writer mentions Michael Jackson’s extensive plastic surgery and then adds “No one — least of all Jackson himself — would have wanted to see the Dorian Gray portrait in his attic.”
Um… Wouldn’t the portrait in the attic show a good-looking black guy? It was the real-life version that became increasingly bizarre-looking over the years.

Nicole: As long as you consider the ‘extra’ as part of the comic this was a LOL, EWWW and a CIDU for me , The LOL and the EWWW were from the main comic . The CIDU is the extra - I have no idea how it relates to the main comic or even what it means as a standalone

Just wondering, as I read all these loving words about Michael Jackson from all his “lifelong friends”… Where exactly were all these people when Jackson was on trial for child molestation? Elizabeth Taylor was vocal in her support for him, but we didn’t hear much from all the other “friends” who are eager to get their eulogies on record.
