When I first read all these strips individually, on the day they came out, I missed hell of details and harkening to the past.

Yeah, this strip really deserves to be rated higher just for revealing the origin of Mexican magical realism after all that build-up.

...and I just realised it when reading (for the third time) the line:
"They didn't need cuspidors with low self esteem. I fled to Mexico to continue my work away from public scrutiny."
Then, I rushed to Acheworld to see if this inference could be confirmed by the learned.
I thank you.

I enjoyed this arc immensely. Mexican magical realism can be a bit of a get out of jail free card as a plot device, but it always brings the entertainment.
And Lonis' vernacular is really well done, very pleasant to read. I'm kinda sad that it's unlikely we'll meet up with him again.

I could care less what people put on their wieners, whether it is ketchup or pancake syrup. I see no reason to get so worked up about food.

To be fair, most of today's "latest songs" really suck. But I think I would get a bad haircut if I had to listen to, say, Fall-Out Boy's newest single during a haircut due to the rage-enduced shaking my head would undergo.

The crazy thing about old Lonis is how damned cute he is. Even when he's got his scheming face on, I just want to squeeze those little cheeks.

The phonograph was a way to get your barbershop quartet fix while your ears were still high enough to truly appreciate them. Classic.
