I'll explain that in a moment, but first... I read this morning that Hunter S. Thompson killed himself. This actually didn't surprise me, since I always figured he's either commit suicide or be murdered. Still, the world is a little worse for him being gone.

Which is silly, since toons don't die, hence no autopsies. And collecting evidence for ANY crime would be a bitch in such a chaotic place. Well, ok, maybe there could be a drive by Dipping or something, but since The Dip totally dissolves a toon, there's STILL be no autopsy. Unless it was funny.
