Mary and Gussie Sketches
Shaenon: I’ve been drawing these two for a while, too. I love drawing all the Little House stuff.
Channing: I think the Little House storyline was one of the first storylines actually conceived, if not precisely in its present form. It’s crazy to be finally getting to these characters like five years later.
Shaenon, I just finished Spirits, and I had to try some of the wines from your list. I enjoyed the 667 Pinot, the Castle Rock Cab and especially the Haraszthy Zin. Ultimately, though, I suspect I’ll be found face-down in the gutter, clutching a bottle of the Roadhouse Sweet Red Chocolate, a sappy grin on my face.
No, you’re not the only person who likes sweet dessert wines. I grew up in a family that drank Mogen David with dinner—and we were Catholic, so we had no excuse. My tastes got better (or at least more respectable), but I still love the sweet stuff.
What? No Mad Dog 20/20? I particularly liked the Electric Blue flavor
Never acquired the taste for wine. Always seems to dry for me.
Mead (you can find it in wine-style bottles if you look) was tasty but still felt off.
Whiskey bites back (horrid tasting to my palate), so I mostly stick w/ schnapps that you either do shots or mix – Rumpleminz, Goldschlager, Aftershock, Peachtree, and both a vanilla and cherry schnapps that I can’t recall the brand names of. Both (vanilla and cherry) do well pouring half a glass then topping w/ cola for doing summer yardwork.
If you have a Trader Joe’s nearby, check out their Moscato d’Asti. Very nice. I also like sweet wines, and this is about the only one that I buy that’s not intended for cooking nor a sangria.
thinking 5 years ahead of things? sounds a bit like Narbonic planning going by your annotated re-run.
Now you’ve got Me thinking about Why a robot would be smoking cigarettes,Here’s what I’ve come up with1 it’s actually a discrete steam vent2 organic components are involved, and it’s actually used normally. 3 No organic components were involved, and it is a very slow method of suicide.4 Number 3+ the corrosion affects her in a manner not unlike regular cigarette use.5 It’s a rebellious affectation. 6 She is designed as a beatnik character and its a fog machine that’s actually part of her hand.
SKREEEEEEEE!!!!
