I now use the phrase "pulling deeply from a bottle..." thanks to this strip. Well done.

When pulling from the bottle, always remember to bend at the knees. It is important to exercise proper pulling technique.

If you pull too deeply and don't bend at the knees you'll really hurt your muscles, man.

Help a brother out here. Space and time be crazy today.

I love these ones so much. His descriptions of Ray are the best.

Notice that Mr. Twain apparently thinks it unusual that a cat should not be able to speak and attributes it to nervous agitation.

If I saw a cat wearing glasses and a thong get out of a time machine on its hind legs, I'd expect it to start talking too.

Well of course NOW you would.

This strip feels like Alan Moore wrote it.

Midnight. Time machine lands on lawn. Cat gets out, drinks from bottle of wine. This cat is afraid of me. I have seen its true face."

there are certain things i never could have imagined imagining. mark twain as rorschach is one of them. thank you for expanding my consciousness, i guess.

A chubby for you

I believe that Mark Twain would indeed help a brother out in this regard.

I like how Ray is so into taking a pull from that wine bottle that he has to bed his knees. It's like he's doing a dance.

What is the deal with Ray all squatting down to drink wine? It looks like he's making room.

Most of us have had at least one time when the most help we could hope for would be someone telling us where we were in terms of space and time...being from Hartford mine was actually at the Mark Twain House.

neat story!

"liquor improved his spirits "

this comment is a solid 5 for the elegant pun

Philippe is a sea otter, as we have seen in the photographs of the trip to England.
