    Better off left buried but people insist on digging them up…

    I enjoy the descending bottom line as much as anything in this strip, nice touch.

    There is a wasted opportunity to write something pretentious yet ultimately meaningless on the tombstone here. Like Irony. Or Postmodernism. Or Nostalgia. Or Optimism.

    Ha ha, the cleverest pirates apparently buried their shiny things where no reasonable person would ever suspect. Seriously, though, several more than one human length below the surface in a garden of the dead is found (of all things) a storage box. Its lid is opened and there is a light inside. And something else…

    I’m guessing… an iridiscent pool, perhaps orchid-flavored, which would be the imaginary remains of Time Magazine Person of the Year for 2006?

    Jorpho – Department stores use faceless mannequins so shoppers will project themselves onto the doll, imagining themselves in the clothes. So what does the viewer do to a tombstone without a legible name? Exactly.

    Digging for secrets: Generally a lot more fun than finding them. Especially when you realize you’ve trapped yourself in a small hole with your best friend, something disgusting, and no ladder back out.
