Many pop singers do write their own songs. But many do not. A curious industry.

Bruno’s last line cracks me up. Jay bares his soul, and she simply can’t help herself from making that one last twist.
I think what i was kinda trying to express here is that feeling one gets when arguing someone down for so long (Bruno arguing down Jay’s Catholicism), that if you ever “win,” and that person is less happy, then it’s a very very crappy feeling indeed.
Sometimes I think it’s not as much of the blind leading the blind, as it is the blind following the blind because the mess sure is going to be interesting.
I imagine it can be tough being a mom, and that kids often don’t realize how insensitive and hard they are (hey, me included).
Cows do have aching eyes.
And who does BRUNO have to complain to? Thank goodness for telephones.
If she only knew how futile her attempt was.
Poor Kemp. I don’t know why I enjoyed tormenting him almost as much as Bruno did (although for me, since he’s fictional, it wasn’t quite as weird and evil as with Bruno, for who he was real).
The movie that inspired this strip was “Twister,” and it was the first time it really hit me how Hollywood consistently paints scientists as cold, foolish, and failures. It’s the good-ol-American-gut-instinct which wins the day.
And I kinda’ get it, oddly, the theme of listen-and-read-and-educate-yourself-but-follow-your-heart-as-well, which plays with ideas such as there being decisions which your education can’t make for you, and that education has limits and bias and so you need to see beyond it as well. It’s just when Hollywood strips a theme stark and black-and-white, it loses it’s subtlety and, to me, becomes a horrible lesson.
Science bad. Gut good. Sounds like a political speech.
