So this guy walks into a post office ...
All of this took place at the post office from which Yuko and I do most of our shipping. I was mailing off one of our old Phoenix Down shirts so the printer would know what palette to use -- they're arriving this week, by the way!
I gave Yuko a description of this woman and she captured her likeness to an uncanny degree, so I personally cannot look at this comic without getting really creeped out. Good job babe! I th-think.
Also ... it's too bad the comic isn't in color, because her sweater was awesome. Purple, red and green stripes ... VERY YES
That's it for me ... still sick! Oh, and a heads up ... site revisions are around the corner! Conrad's been working really hard. :D Thanks man! *snf*

Hehe...
She wasn't really upset
Comment by John Kelly (not verified) Tue, 01/27/2009 - 11:49She wasn't really upset about the other post office, she was upset because she knew this comic was coming.
Yeah, I've come across
Comment by Sonic (not verified) Tue, 01/27/2009 - 02:03Yeah, I've come across people like that. My first reaction is always back away slowly...
Back away slowly?

Hah!
You must flee like there is a tiger trying to bite you in the bum!

What on earth do you say to that?!
The correct answer is you

Comment by MX (not verified) Tue, 01/27/2009 - 04:31Be careful, she may put a voodoo hex upon you for speaking of her with such disrespect.
Then perhaps pray to the sun god to smite you.
Or burn her incense sticks in your general direction.

Heh, had a lady like that
Comment by Zelly (not verified) Tue, 01/27/2009 - 09:20Heh, had a lady like that once when I was waitressing. She drew a big astrological/magic map thing on her napkin and kept trying to guess my birth month. Got it right on the 4th try heh. Then asked for my manager and did the same for him, getting upset when she failed and saying that our frequences were misaligned. O_o
It's people like her that
Comment by Dani (not verified) Tue, 01/27/2009 - 09:29It's people like her that give the rest of us a bad name D:(
Also hope you're feeling better soon Ananth!

Comment by Sheila (not verified) Tue, 01/27/2009 - 16:56I live in New York and meet so many people like that! Guess there is no escaping them.
Hnn...
Comment by Gikamoth (not verified) Tue, 01/27/2009 - 20:18Actually that lady looks quite like a friend of mine's mum. Also it almost sounds like something she would say, except she would make a comment about her back.
Well, the upside is that if two creepy people meet, I don't think the creepyness multiplies~
Dude i had the same sweater

My mother was a post office
Comment by w1ng740 (not verified) Wed, 01/28/2009 - 14:00My mother was a post office clerk but one day I suppose her wrong use of words (chinese is her first language) offended some old lady and now almost everyday that creepy old lady comes in and stands in the background glaring at my mother....
Also and furthermore! When she has something she needs to ship, she purposely chooses my mother so as to glare at her at a closer range.
...just a related story.
Hah, wow..
Comment by ritsuka (not verified) Wed, 01/28/2009 - 14:44That is pretty messed up, you'd think she'd get over it?
Creepy yet laughable
Comment by HollyWoodCarCrash (not verified) Wed, 01/28/2009 - 18:56I once knew a person like the woman Ananth saw. Except it was a guy, he hung around the local library. I recall him yelling,(with a damage voice box mind you), at a shelving cart that you can take a picture from space with a cardboard box and a rock of your house in full HD.
lol
Great comic! ^_^
Hah, I love that giant
Comment by ming (not verified) Wed, 01/28/2009 - 20:32Hah, I love that giant textballoon on the last panel!
But WHAT IF she reads this comic?!!
or wait, what if you have local fans who from now on will try to get a bizarre appearance at that post office in hopes of a cameo? :P
Emotional Disturbance...You're doing it right!
Comment by Lauren (not verified) Wed, 01/28/2009 - 22:09This lady reminds me of the weird nanny in later episodes of Malcolm in the Middle.

This woman reminds me of Professor Trelawney in Harry Potter... heh...
on the topic of strange...
Comment by Frink (not verified) Tue, 02/03/2009 - 09:36People like this always make me feel uncomfortable. First off, listening to twelve shades of crazy holds no interest to me. At the same time, I don't want to be rude and say what I really think, which would undoubtedly manifest itself as an entirely accidental, frenzied "NO YOU AREN'T YOU'RE JUST CRAZY DO SOME MAGIC TRICKS OR GTFO."
Instead... I just sit there, nod my head and keep quiet in the hopes they'll magically sense my desire not to be in the conversation, which both unfairly legitimizes their view that they aren't crazy, and reinforces my view that they can sense neither jack nor shit or else they'd have left me the hell alone.

Comment by Mike! (not verified) Wed, 02/04/2009 - 14:03you should have told her not to use her powers for evil
