      Good. I’m on a hair trigger when it comes to lowly puns.

            Did you rifle through a magazine to find these puns? They seem to be very narrow in scope, being all about guns. ‘Round here, we prefer puns with a bit of variety. The chamber of commerce put clips on T.V. promoting it, even. Pun-monotony leaves you a shell of a man- there’s more safety in variety. Now, I know you all think you’re a barrel of laughs, but really. Puns here can range from shots at Shanna’s grin to cracks about the store guy’s shirt. I’m just not going to let this slide; you guys need to bite the bullet and give up these wooden stock puns about firearms. I mean, really. Aim a little higher.

      Ammunition doesn’t seem to be doing a good job at keeping the puns at bay.
      Mayhaps if one had something into which to load and fire it.

            I think I’m most unnerved by broadness of her grin, along with the fact that I only see one line of teeth there.

      It’s the teeth detail more than anything else. It’s why teeth are never detailed in most drawings of people smiling; showing them is always creepy if you compare them to photographs.

        This is so true and so odd. Does noting each individual tooth remind us too much of animals for comfort’s sake? Or is it too jarring to have black lines note the separation of each tooth? I don’t know.

      It can make pretty corpses, but it’s not easy making corpses pretty.
