Page 97 – Let Buyer Beware
You know, it probably would have been nice to work something… I dunno… SPOOKY into today’s comic, huh? Alas, I’m too busy watching lots of Vincent Price and Boris Karloff (thank you Turner Classic Movies!) to think of clever stuff like that.
Page 100 in just over a week! I’d better get cracking on… uh, whatever we’ll do to celebrate!
(Historical note: In case the top part was too vague, this page originally went up on Halloween. Obviously, this was before I became addicted to doing extra holiday pages. How times change, huh? Also, I’m ALREADY starting to push the use of colors too far here, though at least in this case the fact that the purple is happening in a different place/time justifies it a bit.)
I’m not sure if Layla just doesn’t remember his name correctly, or she’s being dismissive by saying it wrong, or that “Rom” used to be a name that Ram went by, as dealers in shady merchandise have good reason to frequently change their name. Next time we see him, he’ll introduce himself as Rum or Rym or Rhem, etc.
(The only other possibility is that it took me 15 years and dozens of read-throughs to catch an error…but that can’t possibly be right…)
could also be that Ram Quatzi advertises Rom Quatzi guarantees so if something goes wrong oh no I’m Ram I don’t guarantee this product you need to find Rom
Oh, I’m absolutely stealing that for future use
i look forward to it
