Rachel you srike me as a bit of a geek, no offense, so am I, and I mean it in a good way! You are awsome gURL. LOL Keep it up!

[Bri]

Very Funny, Sorry to be seeing Rachel go.

[MeganKoumori]

I do number six and eight. With number eight though, it's just my animals on my 'Harvest Moon' games (I figured, it's a Japanese game, why not name everything in Japanese?).

[Taheelah]

I have a very original name.It`s one of the four words of praise, from the dead language sandscript. It means *song of god* (Taheelah). I always name my pets odd names because a name means alot.and it`s only right to have an original name because no one is the same.I really love the name Kizmet* don`t know were it came from* so my next pet will probably be called that. ^-^. I also always were a shirt with a saying on it me fave shirt so far is my black -I scare my own family shirt- MUCH T`S $12 something any size. I had it for 3 years now. it has a huge rip across the bottom rim and a big bleach stian in the front. but I still love it.I were it under neath other shirts with sayings ^-^<3

Gogol Bordello! I saw them in Toronto, it was fucking amazing! I wanted to make love to the whole band and the audiance and like even the sound guy. They're so crazy. I want to see them again, if I coould choose any band to see it would be to see them again. If they ever play your city go!

[Amanda]

About the duct tape. My friends and i got it down. My friend Dany makes jewelry from it. I made a tape ball that weighs over 12 pounds.

[Nezumi Sohma]

Hm, I can see duct tape being a solution for many things, but... wouldn't it be kinda painful to use duct tape or ANY tape for clothing?

[Bif G]

woo, i love eugene hutz too!!!

[mickeyrae]

[samy]

[Samriddhi]

~~Three words....U rule racheal....!~~

Anonymous: Probably doesn't make much sense to you because, from what I can tell, English is your second language. Also if you want shine over substance in your comics it doesn't really say much for your personality.

(note: "MUCH" sense rather than "MANY" sense as sense isn't quantifiable, for example, people are quantifiable (i.e. 1 person, 2 people, 3 people therefore MANY people) while sense (as in common sense and not the senses such as sight, hearing, tasting, feeling and smelling) is not really quantifiable (i.e. you can't say 1 common sense, 2 common senses, 3 common senses because that doesn't make any sense therefore it's much sense (i.e. doesn't make much sense) get it now?)

[Catalina]

Just because you don't get it, doesn't mean it's stupid. (A notice to those girls who say it is since they don't understand.)

[annoymous]

i seriously hate all these rachel comics. i mean like first of all it doesnt make that many sense and second of all it doesnt have like any kinds of colours !! i mean like if it at least had colours. man!!! like omg!!!

[Sydney]

that was preety goood

[Jamie]

Hey Everyone, please take a look at "Comicker in need" Rachel has some very expensive surgery that she must have done in a short amount of time. Please read and if you feel froggy please donate. :)

[Chris]

I thought it was great, your comics are always very amusing. The shirts are always great and in defense of this one, I am better off then a lot of people and my family worked hard for everything we had. I still thought it was funny for a lot of rich people are bricks.
Believe me there are a lot of them around here.

My Pets also have strange names. Most of them are named after historical characters though, well my fish are.

[lynn]

i call my rabbit kero for cardcaptor sakura and hero "light at the end" and i fix EVERYTHING with duck tape and yes even a outfit it fun what can i say

[Q]

Aha ha! I've got a weird pet name story. My king snake is named "Ukukwi," meaning "harmless snake" in Swahili, and another king snake we had was named "Sune-ku," which is simply "snake" in Japanese. Also, my first and favorite pet cat was named "Little Bear" from the book series. He was a black cat (of course).
Your comics are funny and wholesome (after-school special... with a twist), and easy to relate to. Even with your eccentricities you manage to touch a wide audience.
Thanks.
Woah! If I don't watch it this could begin to get sappy. ;)

[Easy Phil]

I completely agree with you Hannah.
We "richies" have had nothing but scorn since the beginning of time. Our people have been oppressed for so long it's time for us to rise up and show the poor huddled masses what we're made of!
No longer will we have to endure the predjudiced insults of "posh twat!" and "Upper-class toss-pot" when we get carried down the streets, sitting on our antique Edwardian arm-chairs, drinking brandy and reading Harry Potter disguised as Shakespeare through our monocles on the back of our servant! No more getting pestered by beggars on the street and having to set our personal attack dogs on them when they get close, I mean isn't that what the police is for? I don't want to waste my money on my own personal protection but I feel that in these times of hardship it is a necessity. I would much rather purchase my own airport and an island out of every countries' durestiction so I can create a corperate paradise using nothing but child labor, giving them pennies a day, to produce the best in sport shoes and sell them for 30000% profit.
But noooooo, I have to fear for my safety every single day, in my mansion-fortress, with bleeding heart liberals dictating what's right and what's wrong, who I pay to kill is MY business and nothing to do with the supreme court.

RICH POWER NOW!!!

Signed,
Your local congressman.

... But seriously it's just a t-shirt stop being so over-sensitive. :P

Oh and is it wrong that I found the HTML talk strangely arousing? O_o

[Steph ...]

No, it wasn't atall stupid ... the way you write is stupid!

[lilly]

u called someone fat.
no delete button will fix that one.
not nice

[Kelsey]

!! I've done #6 multiple times...I once got caught doing something I shouldn't of (I won't elaborate ;D) and I kept thinking, "CTRL Z! UNDO! BACKSPACE! WHERE IS GOBACK WHEN YOU NEED IT DAMNIT!"

[sarah]

omg, i am the QUEEN of duct-tape!!!

[Trill]

Ohh... my dorkyness prevails.
I LOVE the HTML joke.
Brilliant.
XD
Break.
Whee.

Anyways....
I loved the comic, can't wait 'til next Wednesday ^^
(It's much too bad that all of the guy's at m school taste in music sucks.)

[clop]

I believe the shirt is a rip on Eric Cartman's "poor people piss me off" slogan.

[laura]

lol.... i don't ythink duct tape is the answer to everything. PRITSTICK IS
Even if it isn't strong its cool......
Rachels great and the t-shirt gags never get old :D

[Kat Ingersoll]

The weird names one is true. I have two cats. One is my calico Alice, named after Alice in Wonderland, because she gets curiouser and curiouser. Seriously, she's strange. The other is Q'i (key), because he's black and white like a yin-yang. My husband named him so because "chi" looks retarded and sounds like a certain anime robot. Our vet had to write down how to pronounce it because he can't never remember it.

[erica]

Gogol Bordello and pets with foreign names FTW.

[sarah]

I LOVE Gogol Bordello!
Their unique brand of Ukrainian Gypsy-Punk is what brings joy to the cesspool of lame that is my life.

=D

[Jess]

I love the duct tape! I actually made a hat out of duct tape. I still wear it!
Also I had a Guinea pig named Hamlet William Lynch. Not exactly the same but it was funny when I would get letters from him at camp (actually written by my Mum as a joke) and everyone would think it was my boyfriend! LOL

[Crimsonkiss]

Lol. I know she couldn't pirate the records, but that guy was cute...

[Scarface]

god I love Gogol Bordello. And duct tape.

[Caitlyn]

I give my pets odd names too... my fish are Servacio, Calix and Morgana :D

[no]

rich people piss me off too. damn them with their computers, adobe creative suites, means of transportation, freedom, and clean water!

[grace taverna]

Oh god the duck tape lovin'.
That's weird because I just remade my four years young old duck tape purse, (the silver mailbox xD) well it's actually a tote now, with pockets! [Yes, I feel proud of myself to point of net bragging xP]
It's what's keeping my bed together.

With the file rippage, it's more harassing my friend then dating for.

Seriously Rachie the wonder you hit home. <3

[maddie]

loL! i do give my pets foreign names that take forever to explain. case in point, when we adopted my dog, i was on the verge of naming him 'akamaru' XD

[Hannah]

I didn't care for Rachel's shirt. I found it really rude. "I hate rich people". People who are well off usually work for what they receive. I'm not saying those less fortunate don't work just as hard, but wealth doesn't just fall on most peoples heads. Most rich people aren't those bourgeoisie Paris Hilton types, they're hard working, charitable people. That shirt was completely unnecessary and rude.

[marianne]

That's pretty cute, Rachel. Plus, you get super bonus points for mentionning Gogol Bordello. I LOVE THEM! If you haven't, you should totally watch the movie Everthing is Illuminated. The lead singer from the band doubles as an awesome actor, who knew?

[Midnight_Emerald]

Duct tape is the answer. I love it. I love the million and one uses. I love the name! It is the best thing ever! Hee hee X X
I love your comics. They are the best!

[Kate]

I'm a Subculture of One! xD
If I or one of my friends makes a mistake, I actually do say "Control Z it!" or "Undo it!"
._.
Duct tape IS the solution. To everything.
And I HAVE dated someone to pirate their music xD He didn't really care all too much.
And my guinea pig is named Daichi which means "Large, great" because she's...obese. But I love her XD

Great comic!

[Sydney]

oh man. I saw the duct tape and just knew. I duct tape my shoes to keep them together and I even have a duct tape belt. :D

[Ellie]

Tuna was a real cat, but he died five years ago or so, I think... It's mentioned somewhere at SubcultureOfOne.com

[Elizabeth]

I think it was funny, I greatly enjoy reading your comics Rachel!! They are so fun and creative, they make me feel as if someone else is out there... by the way is Tuna a real cat? B/c the anime form he is so cute!1 =(^..^)=

[MAyRA]

DAT WAS STUPiD...NUFFiN FiT iN WiTH ME !!
