Minnipeg Part 6
Fuuuuck, what was I talking about this week, reality or some bullshit?
All I know is, in the last week or so, I did the following things (FOR REAL):
1) Saw Gospel Gossip play in Loring Park.
2) Ate a no-chicken omelet at French Meadow on Lyndale.
3) Watched a lot of Steve Brule on YouTube.
4) Rewatched some Stella.
5) Played Balderdash.
6) Lost at Balderdash.
7) Drank at all three of our town’s bars: the Contented Cow, Froggy Bottoms, and Grundy’s (Oh I’m sorry, I meant the Leaky Cauldron, the Three Broomsticks, and the Hog’s Head).
8) Played music at the Cow! With my dad’s band! It was fun. I’m a shitty guitarist.
9) Wrote an article for the town blog. Aren’t proposed Safety Centers scintillating?
10) Attended another Minneapolis Cartoonist Conspiracy.
TONIGHT is the gallery opening for Big Funny/Little Funny. (Check out this cool Little Funny website—my comic’s number 20.) I plan to be at Altered Esthetics at 6:30 sharp, so I can leave from there with my ma and sister for our Girl Cousin Cabin Weekend up north. I will be back Saturday or Sunday, depending on how much fun we have.
PS This comic is about bathrooms. I think I have officially surpassed my quota of comics-about-bathrooms.

Yesss Steve Brule. John C. Reilly is my favorite.
Also: Pump N’ Munch? Is that your hilarious invention or am I to actually believe such a franchise exists? A friend was recently telling me that there is a big grocery store chain in the South called Kum ‘N Go, and I once drove past a Three-Way Food Mart, so I would believe Pump N’ Munch.

David: I’m so glad you’ve seen Steve Brule! I was very happy to be introduced to it myself.
Tiano: Aw geez, thank you! You were funny too. When you knocked over that chair.

I could not get past Pump N’ Munch. If I ever direct a porno it will be called Pump N’ Munch.

David, I was frustrated by Athena’s FAILURE to answer that question, so I googled:

Jon: I’m so gonna try! I’ve got a friend flying into Mpls later that evening, so it just might work!
