I'll be up front and admit that I haven't seen Blood Work and really don't plan to. I don't know. Something about watching Clint Eastwood run around after serial killers at 72 years old seems a little off. It strikes me that I am not the intended demo for this picture.
All things the same however, and having read a few reviews of the film, I discovered that ol' Leatherface gets a love scene in the flick. And I'm not talking a kiss and a peck. I'm talkin' full-on "If this van's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'" type action. Yeah. Please do you best not to blow chunks onto your keyboards.
But what do I do with this information now that I have it? The same thing any responsible young adult would do! Make fun of it mercilessly! With that, have decided to make this BLOOD WORK WEEK!
That's right! All of the strips this week will revolve around Blood Work and the ultra-grody concept that Clint gets his swerve on in the flick. Let's hope he doesn't throw out a hip!
It may seem like a cheap-out, but seriously, within moments of reading these reviews and learning of the bedroom antics, a flood of concepts for the strip flooded into my brain. Gotta strike while the iron is hot, you know!
Fun Game: The punchline of today's strip alludes to a classic cult 80's movie. E-mail me if you think you know what I'm referencing and you'll... be mentioned in Wednesday's blog. Hey, I'm just starting out here! Did you think you were going to snag free gear, or something?
Gotta give shout-outs to everyone visiting the site. We had over 150 hits on Friday which I think is pretty good for only being an active site for five days. So thank you!
I'm thinking of adding more features to the site to ratchet up those numbers. Here's a short list of ideas. Write me and let me know what you would like to see!

If there's something not on this list you can suggest, I'm very willing to hear your thoughts.
Here's hoping you like today's strip. Come back Wednesday for Part II in the Blood Work saga!
Clint Eastwood has a sex scene. I refuse to see it on principle.
The man is a septuagenarian, for chrissake! I refuse to accept the notion that it is acceptable to see the elderly in erotic situations and won't feed the propaganda machine with a ticket purchase!
Hmm. I wonder if this isn't just an elaborate excuse to repress memories of last year's... unpleasantness.

Remember that time you caught your Grandpa eating Jell-O in his underwear?...
LA, LA, LA. I can't hear you! I can't hear you!
This cartoon is valuable not for the gag (which is fine, and accurate), but for the subsequent description, which was written in 2002, back when nobody cared about Clint, before “Mystic River” and “Million Dollar Baby” suddenly vaulted Clint into America’s Most Important Director and National Treasure, and suddenly every movie he made became this important event everyone had to see for the presumptive Oscar result. People forget that the year before, he was just an old Hollywood fogey making movies no one bothered to see, even if they were writing webcomics about them.
