It's one of the few NB strips that do different things well at the same time. Well, in my opinion. It connects two parallel story arcs, it's self-referencing, it refers to Star Wars, it's a combo joke... On top of that, it works. Sometimes I wonder if people totally despise the strips I like. :) -- OO Joaquim G�ndara .||. http://nerdboy.port5.com bb jg
