No comic this week. Erika’s dog has gone from getting diagnosed with giant tumor, to emergency surgery where we expected either lose her or have to put her down from cancer, to miraculously coming through and now maybe is going to be okay…in less than 48 hours. I am physically and emotionally SPENT.
Hollywood tends to skip this detail, but there’s no usable DNA in a strand of hair; what’s needed is in the waxy wad of skin at the base of the hair that comes out IF you pluck it cleanly. If the hair breaks mid-strand though, that’s fairly useless to forensics, except to tell you that you’re looking for someone with (at least some) long blonde hair, which Val doesn’t exactly need a crime-lab full of scientists to figure out.
You know what might have been cool, since you’re obviously okay with including cameos of other webcomic artists (or their fictional creations)?
Have this scene take place in Coffee of Doom, from Questionable Content.
Not Starbucks. Ha!
