I guess this could be used as a Rorschach test. I saw "flick" with no hesitation. After reading the first few letter posts I went back and saw "fuck" but it morphed back to "flick" immediately. Of course I am older than dirt; that may be part of it. I still say "flick", or "flicker" if I'm feeling frisky.

I really like Keefer's stuff. I save some of them to send to bud's. My favorite is the one of Deepak Chopra's meditation tape about getting it all out. "It works!"

I had the same reaction when I discovered that The Host opened at the community-owned movie house two miles down the road here in Tucson: Yes!

It is, indeed, a fabulous foreign fuck.

I saw the same thing. But it wasn't the best thing in the cartoon.

Keef didn't invent that, though. Some years back, Dave Sim, during one of his rare and brief periods of doing good comic-book writing, devotes a couple of panels to a guy not finding anything entertaining in a comic book he's reading until he cracks a smile at an instance of the 'flick/f*ck' lettering thing. I sometimes wonder if they do it on purpose. Back in the early '70, Garry Trudeau did a few strips involving Joanie Caucus' estranged first husband, Clint. You can work the rest out for yourself.

As always, Keith is so FLICKIN funny.

I had to read it three times before he wasn't talking about a French version of "The Sure Thing" or something...

Is it a little victory if a lettering hiccup is the funniest thing in the whole strip? We love ya either way, Keef.

For a minute there, I thought "fabulous foreign f*ck" was some brand-new, fabulous young hipster lingo for "really good film from overseas."

Don't laugh. I'm well over 40, and I can no longer tell the difference between delicious new trend and unfortunate faux pas. That's assuming, of course, that there ever was a difference ...

I just think someone with Keef's particular penmanship ought to be a little more careful when trying to use the word "FLICK" in his cartoon. That is all.
