My friend's older brother used to have Magic: The Gathering patterned playing cards, so when you'd show him your hand of mountains and goblins, he'd show you his straight flush. Classic.

Chuck Norris could win with that hand. He once won a game of poker with only a 2 of spades, an 8 of clubs, a green 6 card from Uno, his driver's license, and a Get Out Of Jail Free card from Monopoly.

I disagree. Lyle seems to be in a position of relative authority at first (offering rewards like cigarettes and a toy catalogue), and is rather polite, inquiring after Cornelius's mother, and is (apparently) never drunk. A far cry from the modern Lyle.

This is what happens when you let Lie Bot teach a 5 year old otter how to cheat at poker. That's my theory, anyway.
I have a feeling that it is actually Cornelius and Teodor that are doing the cheating...
that box of tampons is a royal flush.
I think they are actually for stopping the royal flush
gwowss.
avatar comment symmetry everybody! looky!
I wish I could acheive that, but I am not for the chopping off of peoples' heads, personally .
Yeah something is fucked and busted up when this comment has chubbies in only two digits.
You can see the receipt along the bottom edge of frame 3. It is clearly not a card.
