Since I got a good number of you guys commenting along the lines of "about time", I got a little curious myself about why exactly Last Words got featured at this point in it's lifespan of being just a few days shy of it's 200th page. So I went where I usually go when I have something to ask of the DD admin: ozoneocean ( He's a great guy. Just make sure you call him a wallaby or a kangaroo to make fun of his Aussie accent. ). And according to this quote I have from him; apparently they just forgot.
"Honnesly, I thought it'd been featured ages ago, it's one of those obvious feature comics, you naturally assume it would have been there already and so don't check. When I first saw it I thought, "that'll go on the feature list", and since I hadn't checked in ages and ages what was actually being featured, I assumed it had been up during that intervening period."
So clearly, this wasn't a too serious matter, which is just the way I like it. I can't live with the idea of taking life seriously, because life gets scary when you take things too seriously. First as you're watching tv, they start telling you about all the horrors of our world on the news, like how the war 5,000 miles away is going to kill you tonight ( Will it be a stray mortar round or a freak rifle incident that shoots into space and comes back down? You answer their poll! ), or in what ways your dog's chew toys could be housing millions of dangerous bacteria ( Once in a while, Fox strongly suggests these bacteria may be in league in Hezbollah. ) Then after seeing all this, you lay awake at night, worrying about how your dog's chew toy bacteria might be planning a major attack on the fridge. So you decide to get up and tape the fridge door shut with duct tape to keep them out. At which point your household's youngest child wakes up remembering that they forgot to take their diabetes insulin after dinner, and collapses on the kitchen floor. Because, when you duct taped the fridge shut, you turned off the power ( Safety first when working with electronics. ) and the bacteria already in the fridge slowly became a mutant being and released spores throughout the vent system. Later on, when you're standing in the yard while the military douses your home in napalm to kill the spores, you'll probably decide that someone ought to kill Dan Rather ( For the sake of my not bothering to do research, I'm assuming he works for Fox. ). You might even decide that you should do it. Despite the fact that you have all the strategic and tactical skills of a highly braindamaged chipmunk. Before you know it, you're in jail muttering under your breath that you hate news anchors and their chew toys while the other convicts see how many of their most important organs they can squeeze onto the other side of the bars from you. All because you took life seriously.
Personally, I can live with my dog being a dirty animal.
