weird.\u00c2\u00a0 And I like  weird.\u00c2\u00a0 There&#8217;s the fact that nothing remotely resembles a human, and  the fact that the creatures involved are usually at least doing  something interesting.\u00c2\u00a0 Then again, there&#8217;s also the fact that if  there&#8217;s room in the panel for a fart sound effect, R.C. is going to cram  it in there, and a good chunk of the strips feature either puking or  peeing.\u00c2\u00a0 Do you like your low-brow humor with just a little bit of &#8220;what  the hell was that&#8221;?\u00c2\u00a0 If so, this one is for you!\u00c2\u00a0 Topics include R.C.  watching a man pick his nose on the bus, how there must be something  better to eat than dog biscuits, fun with shit, his love of Sarah  Vowell, ordering a sub from a sub (yuk), and rock stars who have changed  their names.\u00c2\u00a0 Those are the topics that make any sense anyway, however  loosely.\u00c2\u00a0 Again, in this case it&#8217;s all about the sample: I think it  represents the comic pretty well, so if you like it, go nuts.\u00c2\u00a0 I should  mention that, to the best of my ability to find anything online, these  comics are free upon request, so at least you could check it out if you  were curious for the mere cost of a stamp.\u00c2\u00a0 Probably a buck or two for  postage too, come to think of it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/eraserdust52.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"eraserdust52\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/eraserdust52.jpg\" alt=\"eraserdust52\" width=\"750\" height=\"545\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>15096 Buena Vista Ave White Rock, BC\u00c2\u00a0 Canada, V4B 1X9 Eraser Dust #5 Who likes puns?\u00c2\u00a0 If your answer was yes, you&#8217;re in luck.\u00c2\u00a0 I defy you to look at that sample image and not have your pun needs met.\u00c2\u00a0 For the rest of us, this is not going to be a pleasant experience.\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1376,1377,3737],"class_list":["post-13544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-eraser-dust","tag-larryality","tag-r-c-johnston"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13544"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13544\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13546,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13544\/revisions\/13546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
