In other news, this sounds like every project notebook I've ever made on paper that went over a singe page, and especially those that did not.
Damn you Gabe!
Hey, what is that sketch on his computer anyway... *opens high-res* Ha, it's Gabe and Jamie. In fact, it's the first panel from another angle. How does Gabe colour that kind of inking, anyway?
Actually, I imagine things like Robert's brutal hiring process have made her quite resilient.
Goes to show how awful that design doc was... Like gazing into the maw of the god of insanity.
Then whether or not you prefer "hung" or "hanged", saying it should have been one or the other is just pedantry.
By that logic, Candy Crush Saga can use 'saga' (a perfectly good word) however they wish. We all want to avoid word jail, don't we?
Oooookay.
Firstly, yes, they can use it however they wish, provided it does not violate applicable laws. In that specific case, the meaning(s) of 'saga' is difficult to apply to the content of Candy Crush Saga. That issue is unlike an argument over usage of 'hanged' vs 'hung' for referring to a method used/to be used for killing a person.
As well, I don't know what 'word jail' is. Care to elaborate?
Indubitably.
But this was also the first comic that made me laugh out loud in probably a year, so there you go!
"I don't want the world, I just want your half"
They haven't been doing that for years, I thought?
There is still one now and then which implies they live together. In Southern Exposure (June 2012), for example, we have a morning scene where it looks like they've just gotten up - Tycho is drinking coffee bleary-eyed and both Tycho and Gabe are still in their pajamas/nightclothes - which makes it seem pretty strongly like they live in the same place.
Obviously this is just done for the sake of the visual gag, and the gag is always paramount above consistency in continuity or setting in PA.
There may be more recent examples, that's just one that popped into my head. Certainly strips which feature the comic versions of Brenna and Kara and Mike and Jerry's kids are now more common than the ones that make them seem like bachelor roommates.
Mike
Jerry do you want me to change hung to hanged?
Jerry
NO CHANGE
I still haven't reached the deepest sub folders of this... thing, but I love this kind of work. I made a spreadsheet yesterday that color-codes tasks by whom they are tasked to, has a dropdown menu for category, rank in order of due date, etc. (most of those are Khoo strategies.) I showed it to Mike and he cringed away, repulsed. It was pretty great.

I would say a sealed containment space, a quarantine of sorts, where a perpetrator of crimes against language is forced to contemplate their misdeeds and prevented from any further attempt to bend language to their degenerate will for a set duration of time, up to and including eternity. Possibly the jail itself is also in some way formed by words or spoken into being like a spell or incantation.
I'm pretty sure it's the second panel
If Gabe's design doc sent Jaime over the edge when putting up with our crap hasn't (especially after the new site design uproar a couple weeks ago)...it must be pretty bad.
I'm glad Jerry defiantly stuck with hung, hanged might be the proper way to say it, but it always just sounds wrong in practice.
Shit, how did I miss that.
Also, Jamie's still alive; Gabe's atrocities aren't enough to defeat the one stormtrooper (the one that knows how to not die and shoot) of the stream!
@PA Jamie is there...is there a "sanitized" version of this file i could take a look at? i really really need a better way to organize my tasks!

There you go, you found a countermeasure for his madness. Strike while the iron's hot, and drive him back to his lair!
I'll see about making some sort of template, but honestly for personal tasks I use Trello. I wrote about how I use it and why I love it here. I should update that, as months later I'm still using it and still love it.
I also recommend for iOS/OSX Clear.
