Tania from Alaska sent in word of this weird pug story. Make sure you click the "More Photos" link on the right...poor little guy doesn't know what hit him. Which, in this case, is a playful, 120-pound black wolf....

Sidenote: are Pugs OK with living in Alaska? Everyone I know that owns a pug is terrified of them getting "cold" (which, in California, means 68 degrees F). Are Californians just wussies with their pugs?

Just checked the store inventory, and there are only 5 copies left of the Pugly Artist's Editions. If you were hoping to get one, this is just fair warning.

Also: I've been fascinated for a long time with the "haunted" Winchester Mansion, which relates to today's strip. It's just a fascinating tale of money mixing with madness. (There are a few modern-day pop stars for whom this correlates, probably.)

Anyway, read more about it. It's fascinating.
