I'm asking this for a friend in neuroeconomics. She says:
A man is looking outside a window at the 13th floor and see another man is falling. The former asks the latter "How are you doing". The latter answers: "Fine so far".
Can you help her find this comic? If not the exact comic, could you suggest any other comics that "illustrate people's ignorance to the incoming risk or uncertainty?"

Is there a collection, in print or online, or otherwise available (!) of the little comics that ran in and thru 'Cricket' magazine? I would pay money or not for this. I sure would like to read through the storylines (IIRC there were a lot of ongoing plots) without having to track down years and years of back issues, physically or digitally.

Help me identify a comic book without too many details to help.... I remember hearing a podcast that mentioned a comic book where the story involves some kids (?) who live in a haunted house and who get different powers by (maybe) taking something like a key (?) and either eating it or sticking it inside their head or something. For what it's worth, I think it's a relatively new comic. Yeah...I didn't want to hinder the search for answers by giving away too much helpful information. Any ideas?

What is this web comic? Single page with multiple panels. Artwork similar to Penny Arcade. Guy is trying to convince his skeptical buddy to play 40K. Buddy is convinced once he realizes that his army is equipped with chain swords (swords with chain saws for blades rather than sharp edges) at which point buddy is over the top enthusiastic and can't wait to get started.

I was amazed how quickly I got a similar question I answered last week, so here goes another one, as I delve the origins of my subconscious... I am looking for a comic in book form/graphic novel that would have been around in (probably) 1982. It was a similar style to the Heavy Metal comics I guess. It featured a computer called Rose and a huge weird kind of evil organ (as in the kind you get in a church!). That's about it. If anyone gets this I will be suitably impressed... thanks MeFites.

Catastrophic Google-Fu Failure. Help me find these three things: One, a web comic which had a flower with an ASCII art penis on it. Two, a web comic which had peeps and Mal from Firefly. Three, a video of a man doing a yoga flow routine which included L-sit to handstand, scorpion, and back again. Sorry for the grab bag, this stuff is simply driving me nuts.

Can you identify and even locate a vaguely remembered online comic strip (possibly a copy of an offline work; I think it was black and white but am not sure) which I read years ago that retold the story of Adam and Eve but from a non-Christian perspective (possibly pagan / New Age) with the serpent being an agent of freedom and enlightenment and God being a scary force of moralizing repression?

Looking for insults and jokes for my husbands 40th birthday party. It is a roast. He is a metrosexual, known for wearing pink. He plays golf and is known to get a little angry if he doesn't play well. He also loves poker and again gets angry if he loses. He thinks he has a big head, not conceited, but a physically big head. He comes across as arrogant but he really isn't if you get to know him. Jokes need to be relatively clean ie pg-13. Thanks

Barely remembered web comic filter: "This week, Author X communed with nature while Author Y was reduced to a fine powder." Literally all I remember about this comic (apart from that I liked it) was that every strip had a comment afterwards saying odd things that each of the authors had done. Long shot, but do you know what I'm talking about?
