...packs of beer every day before school, and becoming so numb to school-yard abuse that bullies eventually got bored. Unlike "Trashed," Derf does not play this misery for laughs. His normally goofy drawing style, full of oversized heads and knobby knees, gets toned down. The shading gets heavier.

Instead I found a way to get fit that is a lot more fun and could even grow into a hot new sport in the coming era of global warming...
...sensitive prosthetic would recruit afferent nerves to send tactile information from paralyzed limbs to other parts of the body, where the sensations could be perceived. With such a device Holgersen might feel the weight of a freshly brewed cup of coffee as a tingling sensation on his cheek; the heavier the cup, the more intense the tingle...
