Fountain drinks care about me too!



This strip started out with starvation/anorexia jokes and they'll always be there.  
A sensitive topic yes, but jokes are always at MY expense.   :-)

UPDATED: EARLY BOX OFFICE: CARS 2 drives towards $75mil/ TEACHER high at $30mil/LANTERN drops 63%

"Bright lights and colours distract from little plot!"


Early box office numbers for the weekend at Deadline Hollywood show CARS 2 grabbing the pole position with an expected (if not overwhelming) estimated $75mil (updated) for this weekend.  

This can be considered a disappointment of sorts as sequels are expected to perform higher than the originals (based on the original's DVD sales, repeated viewings,  merchandising, brand name...).  The original opened to $60mil in 2006 which adjusted for today's dollar equals $67mil.


Comparisons for Pixar series opening weekends (unadjusted for inflation):
TOY STORY        1995       $30mil     
TOY STORY 2     1999       $57mil
TOY STORY 3     2010       $110mil


So you see, each TOY STORY almost doubled whereas CARS 2 will barely top its predecessor.

"Just say when Ms. Diaz and I'll be there!"


BAD TEACHER on the other hand, is exceeding expectations with an astounding $30mil opening weekend.  Super number considering the budget for the film is about $19mil (plus add about the same for promotion/advertising costs for a grand total of about $40mil) and an audience limiting R-rating too. 

AND...

GREEN LANTERN dropped like a stone this weekend.  Last weekend it grossed a disappointing $52mil.  This week it showed it had no legs as it went down 63% for a weekend gross of about $19mil.  Ouch.

Better Rover than me!!



Creepy face is back from this strip. I'm on the fence with him.  
No, I'm literally sitting on the fence with him.   It's a picket fence so it's really poking my ass right now.

(Have a good weekend my loving schmoes!)

Pants DO come in bigger sizes ya know?



You ever think that the people in line for McDonalds should trade spots with the people in line for the gym?
Just my thoughts....
