   Hmm, shall he confess he’s kind of into her? Or maybe he keeps a shrine of photos in his closet?

     A shrine of chewed bubble gum.
     HER chewed bubblegum. In the shape of her head.
     Every once in a while, he takes it out and dances with it.

       Sounds like someone is having a ‘strange confession’ of their own. Care to share with the class?

         It’s no secret. I’m proud to say that Hey Arnold! was the best cartoon to come out of Nickelodeon.

           I dunno. I think it, Rocco’s Modern Life (did I spell his name right?), Jimmy Neutron, and Danny Phantom are all pretty awesome.

           Especially DP

       And one day he’ll steal her glasses and put it on the chewed bubblegum head. Only then will it be complete.

       Oh god, yes!

       Although whenever I think of Hey Arnold!, I first think of the episode where he learns karate which is a pretty bloody obvious drug metaphor.

         My go-to episode has to be either Pidgeonman or Stoop Kid.

   I love it when you draw the characters like in the 6th panel. Y’know, the kissy-face Amber’s giving. It’s one of those faces that you don’t immediately recognize but once you see it in context it makes sense.

   You should totally make avatars of all of the SP! characters making that face.

   I want to use that phrase in real life, but for the life of me, I’ve never run into anyone who was being a metaphor.

   I can imagine this happening before when she wanted to chastise Mike for something.

   That Hamster clearly has a problem. Maybe its time for a Hamster Intervention.

   That hamster TOTALLY is ninja. Look at that last panel! I tell you, ninja!

   I want an intermission strip with ninja hams. After all, Mike must have taught them something.

   Yes. Yes, Mr. Sex Addict, come keep me company… aloone with my hamsters, with Mike gone for the day, and me aalll bored. Sex addiction aside, when this type of thing happened to me, I ended up in bed with the lady about 90% percent of the time. Mind you it didn’t happen all that often .And Mike is probably not the best one to have mad at you… I’d probably have seen if Mike was ok with it and/or other options.

    RV, if you see this, the collection is …. i think 77 issues, but i grabbed all of the tiny break offs into other titles. Id say there are about 35-45 main titles between Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps, and the various Superman, wonder woman, flash, etc 3 part mini series.

    Is the hamster symbolic of Jacob because they are both black like tiger woods?
