It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

I don't think those are accurate representations of the recreational activities realistically afforded by those celestial bodies.

I did like them Tim.  I also liked the cosmonaut soldier or whatever he was.  The point is, I assume he was going to challenge the internal contradictions of capitalism in a high-tech fashion.

I don't post images that often.

I thought the Mythos monsters attacks a police station pic I posted a few pages back was pretty awesome. -_-

Didn't see it. Doesn't sound awesome from the description, but I'll reserve judgment :)

If I post more than one comic strip per month I'd be very surprised.

Fahdiz only comes around once a month, so that's all the time.  :P

Deformed Freak Born Without Penis

QuoteNORFOLK, VA—In an alarming case that has baffled and repulsed many, sources confirmed Tuesday that a severely deformed freak born without a penis has managed to live with the condition for over 26 years.

The bizarre, monstrous human specimen was reportedly born with no other noticeable maladies and has, amazingly enough, attempted to lead a normal, albeit severely impaired life despite possessing no male genitalia whatsoever.

"We first noticed something was off about three months into the pregnancy, and I was of course horrified," said Dr. Mark Joules, the obstetrician who delivered the grotesque—some would say subhuman—abhorrence of nature. "You could clearly see in the ultrasound that a penis and testicles were not developing as one would hope—or at all, in fact—and we immediately knew something was terribly, terribly wrong."

"Had we caught it earlier, we most likely would have recommended that the pregnancy be terminated," Joules continued. "But it was unfortunately too late at that point, so we were forced to deliver the baby as planned and just pray that it could get by in that state. We did our best, but with such a horrible and incredibly crippling deformity, there wasn't much hope to be had."

According to reports, the sadly disfigured 26-year-old's quality of life has been greatly diminished due to such a condition. Sources said the abnormal, visibly blemished creature has been repeatedly passed over for employment opportunities, frequently gawked at and harassed on the street by total strangers, and has faced near constant discrimination for over two decades, all due to the horrific and debilitating birth defect.

Indeed, many are reportedly unable to look past the glaring deformity and simply see the 26-year-old as a human being.

"Whoa, look at that," said 31-year-old onlooker Grant Megson, who, like many others, gawked at the freakish human anomaly while passing by on the sidewalk. "I don't mean to stare, but honestly, it's hard not to. Jesus Christ."

"I just wish some of my buddies were here to see this," added Megson, smiling and taking one last look before continuing with his day.

Sources confirmed that, unfortunately, such cases are actually quite common, with roughly one in every two babies afflicted with the lifelong disfigurement.

However, that is reportedly little consolation to the malformed specimen's father, who told reporters that a day doesn't go by in which he doesn't wish his child was born a normal, healthy baby with male genitalia.

"Sadly, because the deformity is so obvious, our child was treated very differently from all the other kids," the father told reporters, admitting that he was incredibly upset and disappointed when he first learned that his baby would be born a freak, one to be mistreated and viewed as inferior its whole life. "Even though the doctors explained all the incredible challenges and prejudice the poor thing would face, I don't think it really sunk in until after the birth, when I saw the disfigurement with my own eyes. You never want your child to have to grow up that way."

"But what can you do?" he added. "I'm just thankful that my other two kids weren't born like that."
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
