And another one for official Frankenstein Day:
And one directly addressing the occasion:
This from Chemgal, spotting an OY not in the comic overall but in a particular panel.
That’s right, it’s in what Chemgal calls “the third last panel”. I was going to have a fine old time on how different people, not to mention different nations, have different ways of counting from the back of a series, so the only safe way to label a “third from the end” or “second one from the last” or “position negative 3” is to adopt the technical-looking but easy-enough and safely unambiguous ANTEPENULTIMATE.
Oh but then! — but then I took a closer look, and I think the drawing is misleading, and actually the last panel includes both Adam’s speech balloon “Seriously .. all that?” as well as Katy’s and Clayton’s jibes. So the one with the cute shark tray pun is “second last” … or do you say “next to last”? Or “second back from the end”? Or “first before the last one”? Let’s go with PENULTIMATE!

Comics I Don't Understand 
Too-pay, toupee, heh heh heh!
@ Dana (1) – There was a very good rendition of the “toupee” gag in Aardman’s “The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” (as it happens, featuring a wearable rabbit).
P.S. The first strip could have been improved with a credible drawing of the real Ginger:
P.P.S. The meaty pun in the eighth panel of Adam@Home seemed familiar, it was seen here last year in “Off the Mark”:
P.P.P.S. I understand the “oy” factor in the first two panels of the “Gratuitous Epilog Comic”, but I don’t understand the third panel at all.
I guess it s just meant as something genuinely gratuitous; at all fictive levels even.
@Mitch4 has it. The entire point is that the epilog serves no purpose. It’s gratuitous.
@Kilby, my take is that the third panel is the epilogue, which is gratuitous in the sense of unjustiified, unwarranted, or uncalled for – although a Gratuitous Epilogue Comic lacking a gratuitous epilogue would indeed be pointless.
With regard to Frank ‘n’ Stein, about 50 years ago in Boston there was a restaurant/bar that showed old movies and served hot dogs and beer. It was named Frank ‘n’ Stein’s. The logo was the monster holding a stein of beer.
What a price toupee.
I think it would be funny if a Frankenstein adaptation repeatedly referred to the creature as “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein’s Monster”.
I had never heard of a “pink squirrel” until I just looked up the phrase.
@ Grawlix (9) – XKCD did an excellent table with various Frankenstein naming options about two months ago:
“Doctor Who, with his companion Mary Shelley, created the monster he called Frankenstein.”
