Carbuncle

Talk about today's strip, or anything about the comic in general. You can also talk about any of the characters... but don't expect a response. They're FICTIONAL, you guys... sheesh. :)

car·bun·cle ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kärbngkl)
n.
1. A painful localized bacterial infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue that usually has several openings through which pus is discharged.
2. A deep-red garnet, unfaceted and convex.
3. Obsolete. A red precious stone.
Ouch. Poor Greg.

And so, for the sake of momentum, I'm condemning the future to death so it can match the past.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who rushed to Google to see what it was.

I'm assuming Lizzie wanted the stone. :shock:

I haven't seen that look on a man's face since the infamous 10th grade health slide show of doom.

Right now I'm busy struggling with the same syndrome that those who push the big red "DO NOT PUSH" button suffer from...

Carbuncle?

Regardez l'Avatar de Me. (Look at my avatar :) )
<<<<<

Sorry to the French for butchering their language.

But yeah, I've known the literal definition of carbuncle for a long time. But never thought of what googling it would dredge up. That would be some nasty business that. :mrgreen:
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled; but how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere? Tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

I just opened this link, despite the warnings.

I laughed. Much with the cuteness, and the disgusting. Disgustingly cute in a wierd sort of way. :?
