The guy's a genius.

And this blog has the best word verification- "gisti" should be a real word. Meaning "in the mood to witter away on the internet".

That's so "meta".

I'm going to assume the other guy is Vincent's brother Theo. Could be anybody, perhaps...

I found it amusing that one person liked his t-shirt comment on Facebook. Dunno why.

Oh, and "cheorph" should be a word, too.

TTDB is great, too bad the Post dropped it. I guess it wasn't popular with the usual audience for the Post's strips: WWII vets...

(I am not including CDS in that. I am most happy the Post runs it, and Watch Your Head, and a few of the other newer strips)
