    Ah, so Goblaurence was chosen to be one of the World’s Champions because he’s a high-minded individual.

          I agree with Swagner. Whoever keeps writing them must be stoned.

                    I’d suggest we nip his habit in the bud but that standards he sets are too high.

      Now that he has some influence there’s a chance all his grand ideas won’t go up in smoke.

        Surprisingly, rolling up everything you have to say and lighting a fire under it tends to have that effect.

    Ha HA! So it wasn’t a cigar all that time, it was a joint! Who knew?

    …………….Probably a sight to see what he’s like on the job when he’s sober.

        *Looks at page Guesticus is talking about* ….Yeah, that one actually looks like a bud. Thing is, most of the others looked more like what I read an actual ‘stogie’ was supposed to look like. Regardless, he has got to be the most focused stoner I’ve ever seen!

      I’m guessing he’d give the House of Heterodyne a run for their money. So, a sight to see… through a very high powered telescope… in a bunker… while wearing protective gear…

        Nobody’s got his number. He’s in full possession of them…Such as “possession is 9/10ths of the law.”

              Probably because, if he did, everyone, on every side, Gastonians, Savage Races, and Cultests, would end up dead or worse.

    Gobbles is based on Chopper Reed, isn’t he? Not to be confused with the psychotic Chopper Reid (one is dead, the other is a comic based on a dead psychopath)

    Writing question: Is Goblaurence speaking a particular dialect? What accent is that? I’ve noticed his vocabulary and speech pattern since he first appeared, but I wasn’t sure it was based on anything.

    On an unrelated note, I’d like to thank (IIRC) whoever it was that listed the Otherland book series in the comments long past.

    I have Obsessive Reading Disorder, and I just devoured the first two books in three days. I’m currently eyeing up the next two, and wondering how much sleep I can do without, or if I can use swimming goggles full of saline solution to eliminate my need to blink while reading.
