UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

    Some friction, but yeah. IRL, I’d like these two…they should have kids. 😉

    1. Dawn

      I might have to draw out what their kid would look like. First thought is that their kid would look like Ongo Gablogian from “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”

    2. Scarsdale

      He’s pushing 60, she’s maybe 30, more likely less. Chuck is most likely shooting blanks, and besides, he’s talking to her like a baby sister than a love interest.

    It is really hard to have a favorite character, as there are so many good ones. But I think Rosa is my favorite. Chuck is a good accomplice in sneaking work, but not much for romance. Uugh.

    I mean, if they don’t have at least an inkling of what’s going down, I’m actually disappointed in Clearstream. If anything, I’m starting to wonder if they caught on and realized “Wait, we can use this.”

    Because of course they can. 😉

  4. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    I’m way ahead of you – I’ve been waiting for you to catch up. From November 2020:
    I would hope for nothing less – her and Chuck have the potential for a great deal of positive mischief.
    Speaking of which, I received the email notifying me that my order for the NSFW “Chuck and Rosa Finally Do It” (age verification required) limited edition hardcover is going to be delayed due to the pandemic. I think it’s really cool that you’ll be adding some additional stretch goal goodies when it ships – thanks for all your story and art.
    As for the inscription, ” We owe it all to you ” will be sufficient.

542 – Catching Up

Malaphoria

Posted on May 13, 2020 by Clint
You know, I feel like a break from commenting on current events, even if they are interesting from an apoc-fiction perspective. It’s a bit like researching a war by being close to the front, I feel… “Wow, here I am in the action as it happens!” <shell explodes in near distance> “Okay too close! Taking five!” So let’s talk a term that I’ve somehow missed out on in my near half-century of existence: malaphor. Metaphor? No, malaphor. Listen, don’t make me repeat myself or there’ll be Hell to shake a stick at! The term malaphor itself is a portmanteau  of “malapropism” and “metaphor.” In a malapropism a similar but incorrect word is used in a phrase, for example “Behold the suppository of all wisdom!” or “You ain’t heard the least of me!” Malaphor takes that phenomenon and extends it to an entire idiom. I mean look at what I typed above and you might have scratched your head and thought, “Isn’t the phrase ‘there’ll be Hell to pay!’?” and it’s something else you shake a stick at? Congrats, pardner, you found yourself a malaphor. “We’ll burn that bridge when we come to it” is another good example. It’s closely related to the concept of a mixed metaphor but isn’t so much outright contradictory as just a bizarre mixing of colloquialisms. Stick that in your pipes that broke the camel’s back.
