Not enough geekiness in your life? Here y'go.

This probably isn't translating quite right in today's strip about "King Kong," but in the second panel, when "Kong" claps his hands, he's turning on the lights. With "The Clapper."

I didn't want to spend time trying to explain that in the strip -- it'd just get too wordy (as you can see). I wanted the silly emotion and Naomi Watts' confusion to drive the action. But I think it works even if you think Kong is just doing his ape thing.

I like to write/draw stuff without explaining. So a reader who cares enough to wonder why it's dark in the first panel, then light in the second, might figure it out on his/her own (or maybe I'm just being lazy, I dunno).

This post is for those who aren't interested in looking quite that hard.

Couldn't you just see it, though? From Hollywood? The Ultimate Land of Bad Relationships? Hee-hee!

Excellent!

At least it worked for one person besides myself -- confirmation I'm not completely delusional.

Some, probably, but not completely.
