...getting more hits is because you do not take a real cut at the ball. If you would put more power behind your swing, you would improve your batting average 100%." Bush added that he took the advice, and brought his average up over .250. This story has been retold as a goof on Bush: no bat then, no oomph now. But it ) cuts two ways, for Bush put in the work and did improve himself...
...recycling the same punchline every week, he apparently intends to depict the same event over and over. The plot of every strip so far has been the passage of Ronald Ann into this Outland. The first strip showed her walking through a door, and all the episodes since have retold that event in a new way. Last Sunday the mouse and the rat kidnapped Ronald Ann in between a gang war and a rabid alleycat.

...inspires confidence that we are in the hands of a master storyteller, and Schama's epic history richly fulfills that promise. This saga of revolt and revenge may at first seem somewhat familiar, for it has long been one of the great narrative legends of modern time, told and retold by Burke, Tocqueville, Carlyle and others. We already know -- don't we? -- about the dim-witted King Louis XVI, about Queen Marie Antoinette's supposedly saying "Let them eat cake," and the ragged mobs cheering as the bloodied guillotine rises and falls in its awful rhythm of retribution...
