10/26/10 - First Tuesday Update

Starting this week LUC will be update on TUESDAY and THURSDAY mornings. No more waiting for posts! No more guessing when the comic will be up! Now you can have a regular comic fix first thing in the morning.

Speaking of fixes...

The "Dead Bastard" is one in a trio of specialty drinks for the serious imbiber of alcohol. The progression is known as the "Bastard Trilogy" and goes like this:

Suffering Bastard

Dying Bastard

Dead Bastard

* Mai Tai (an optional finisher if you are still standing)

Needless to say the day-after results are spectacularly painful.

Here are the recipes if you are feeling particularly adventuresome:

Suffering Bastard:

1.5 oz of rum

1 oz of overproof rum

3/4 oz Orange Curacao liqueur

1/2 oz orgeat syrup

1 oz fresh lime juice

2 oz fresh orange juice

Dying Bastard:

1 oz. Brandy

1 oz. Gin

1 oz. Ginger Ale (yeah carbonation!)

1 oz. Rum

1/2 oz. Lime Juice

A dash of Bitters

Dead Bastard:

1 oz Brandy

1 oz Bourbon

1 oz Gin

1 oz Ginger Ale

1 oz Overproof Rum

1/2 oz Lime Juice

Dash of Bitters

Shake the ingredients well and pour into the glass of ice, garnish with a slice of lime and a slice of orange, (or mint leaves in the case of a Dead Bastard) and enjoy!

TRANSCRIPT:

Panel 1: INTERIOR RESTAURANT BAR (Jays)

Holly and Brandon are at the restaurant bar. Brandon is vibrating up and down like a jackhammer, eyes over wide and hair standing on end. He is trying to speak, but he is vibrating so much that all that comes out is an unintelligible garble.

BARTENDER: Hi there, do you need a drink?

HOLLY: O you bettcha.

BRANDON: mgsgmmgmmmhhhhmfffrrttttlllll

Panel 2:

BARTENDER: Whoa- Is your friend alright?

HOLLY: He going to be just fine. What I need is a shot of brandy, bourbon, gin, over-proof rum with a half shot of lime juice, and a splash bitters and Ginger Ale mixed in a tall glass.

HOLLY: (looking at Brandon) Actually, better double that.

Panel 3:

The bartender returns with the drink. He holds it with what appears to be an oven mitt.

HOLLY: Here Brand, drink this.

Panel 4:

Brandon slams the drink.

Panel 5:

HOLLY: Feel better?

Brandon has stopped vibrating, mostly. His eyes are still a little wide and his hair is still standing almost straight up.

BRANDON: b-b-b-better. T-t-hanks. I needed t-that.

BRANDON: I st-till feel my hair v-v-vibrating.

Panel 6:

HOLLY: (Smiles flirtatiously at the Bartender) One more of those should do it. Body chemistry is my specialty.

BARTENDER: (Hands Holly a sheet of paper and a pen) Right, If you can just have your friend sign this waiver, I'll see what I can do.
