Better Than This
Click here to go to the beginning of this storyline.
Now, if this was a super hero comic, Carl would have ripped the car in half and made the other guy eat it. But unfortunately, physically attacking someone in the real world has negative consequences, like broken bones and lawsuits. So cooler heads prevail in the long run.
Not that I’m against super heroes. I love super hero stories. I did one for Muscles and Fights 3. The Iron Man movie was awesome. It’s just that in my personal experience, violence is never as fun or as satisfying as it is in the funny books and movies.
Also, you can hear me rambling about grayscale in the Webcomic Beacon at http://webcomicbeacon.com/2008/05/03/episode-22-grayscale-vs-bw-vs-color/.

Unfortunately, that’s the best thing we can do in situations such as this. As much as retribution would be sweet, we have to bow to the unbalanced order of things…..idiots are successful, hard-working people continue to be crapped on, people with mega-amounts of success have absolutely no idea how to handle it, etc.

It’s hard for me to complain on that front. I’ve been pretty lucky in life, really. Sure, I’m not a millionaire, but I could be doing a lot worse than I am now, both financially and psychologically.

Is this like a typical hollywood movie, where the good guy has the bad guy cornered, and the bad guy says, “Go ahead and kill me.” And then the good guy says, “No, if I do that, I’m no better than you.” And then the good guy throws away his gun (or whatever) in a nearby dumpster and turns his back. Then the bad guy pulls out a knife (or small firearm) from his sock, lunges at the good guy screaming, and then the good guy steps out of the way and the bad guy goes flying passed him and over the edge of a cliff and plunges to his death?!
