T-Rex: One of the things I've imagined, ever since I was a little kid, was how neat it would be if you could sort your life by events and view that instead.

T-Rex: You could see every time you eat delicious sandwiches, organized chronologically!

T-Rex: Wouldn't that be cool, Dromiceiomimus? I think that would be cool. You could peek ahead and see every time you get into a fight, so you could be prepared!
Dromiceiomimus: But you'd be spoiling (in the movie sense) your own life!
T-Rex: TRUE. But, you'd also be able to see a rapid-fire montage of all the women you ever kiss. That would be neat and hopefully not disappointing!

Utahraptor: It would actually be pretty neat, I think! You could see your changing responses and everything.
T-Rex: I know!

Utahraptor: Here is what I propose: you record yourself whenever you kiss a woman for the first time, and then when you're old, you edit them all together. A lifetime of work will lead to a memorable result!
T-Rex: It might be awkward getting camera permission JUST before I kiss her. But! I'm up to the task!

Narrator: SOON!
T-Rex: You know what's even hotter than kissing someone for the first time?
Off panel: Indicating in writing my informed consent to being filmed just before we kiss?
T-Rex: Baby, it's like you read my mind!

What are the haps my friends

August 2nd, 2006: For Better or For Worse has started animating some of their strips when they're posted online. This seems to be almost entirely limited to making the characters blink; the result is supremely creepy. Instead of being like photographs, the panels instead become visions of our favourite characters trapped in temporal amber, screaming with mouths that cannot move, their remaining strength, marshalled, good only for a occasional flutter of eyelids, their humanity and their will to life reduced to its cruellest parody.

I think that the word I am reaching for is "unsettling", but a new instance of the word, a more powerful incarnation capable of rendering this animation, this - this blinking in only a few syllables while maintaining all of its unholy power. This would be a word whispered only accidentally while telling ghost stories, and as it hung moist in the air all conversation would cease, and suddenly we would become aware of our own breathing, of how the fire seemed colder, of how the roasted marshmallows began taste like chalk in our mouths, and of the sudden strange, unfriendly beating of our hearts.
