As if I really need to say it — this Dixie truckstop really does exist. On Route 66, no less, though it’s right off of Interstate 55, just south of Bloomington. I drove past it all the time whenever I went down to visit my family in St. Louis.

hehehe love how they are so easy going in this particular situation:P
That is arragonce if they pushed it and that is a moral sin and a vice. If you follow the teachings of the church. But then they are a principle for all people evein if your not a christain. *excuse the spelling here*
I am a christain and a roman catholic and I am proud to be it.
Christain, huh? That’s…apt.
And your not? you are a disgrace then. If your a prositent. *and excuse spelling* Then I would tolorate it. 9/11 is coming this week and it falls on a saterday. Hope you got your respect on for that terrible day. And all the fall out that came from it. This I expect a lot of you will coment on.
No need to be antagonistic, guys.
I actually believe in something I have TOTALLY MADE UP KIND OF. it’s based off the matrix idea of nothing is real, not that were in a sim or anything stupid, but that reality is mutable and everything is possible. Not real, only possible. That’s the key.
Well, according to my religion, which I dub “The Way of Zortharg the Destroyer”, the atheists and agnostics and pagans and nature worshippers and wiccans, etcetera will all be rewarded in the afterlife by a god who is much wiser and much less insecure than the “Christains” make their deity out to be. Oh, but my god hates cultists and dogmatists. He especially hates those who take their religion seriously to the letter, particularly when the religion has a great reputation for violence (thus I am not only failing to distinguish between Protestant and Catholic but between Christian and Muslim). Those particular rejects get thrown in the discard pile. What infinitely logical and intelligent being would want to surround himself with stupid unthinking closed-minded religious nutballs, after all? He will thus reward everyone who doesn’t believe in him and punish everyone who unquestioningly does. No, I’m just screwing with you. But if death wasn’t oblivion, and there was a god, and the god would judge us after we die, and the punishment/reward was something we could comprehend with our senses and consciousness as they exist after we die, and the pass/fail condition was whether you were or were not a member of a particular bronze age cult, you can be sure that the pass state would be NOT being such a cultist. You have now officially had circles run around you Vincet.
We are now slightly dumber for this comment.
I hope this guy’s a troll because if he isn’t then why is he reading an eastern-style manga about lycanthropy? Stick with the good book, boys.
What does your religion have to do with anything here? BTW, “Judge not lest ye be judged.” You’re going against Christ’s teachings just by making your comments.
… thank you Dirk, I have now snorted Pepsi through my nose at 3:15 a.m. … it’s all your fault, and I approve.
This still begs the all-important question: Sox or Cubs?
No partial points for the wrong answer.
(Of course, given the Cards hat, I guess the answer’s implied, huh?)
As with anyone who’s lived in more places than they can count, Mike is a complete sports agnostic. I’m afraid I have the same affliction.
Kate on the other hand… I think we’ve established her credentials at this point. Let’s just say she liked working only a few blocks from her favorite place in the world.
I definately know your pain being a sports agnostic Dirk. Try being one in the same local area as the New Orleans Saints leading up to and after the last Superbowl. I was driven insane for a while.
Yeah, I’m a sports agnostic myself – thanks for the term, Dirk – but since I grew up in IL, I still grew up on the Cubbies and the Bears (the Bulls not so much, oddly).
Despite not being a fan of any sports teams, I definitely think Wrigley was one of the coolest fields ever, visually. Plus, for most of my life, I had the seventh inning stretch to cheer me up when my dad made me watch the games.
If you check some of the fan art and sketches, you’ll see that Kate is a Cubs fan. (Bulls, Bears, Blackhawks too, Dirk?)
Mostly the Cubs. Maybe the Wolves, too.
…Try being a Pats fan in Packer territory. Blend with the locals, my friends.
Even if you did that the place where you come from will not be enough to hide in that for the fans will automaticly lable you a fan from that region.
YANKEES ALL THE WAY!!
Do you have the above problem in Red Sox territory?
At Boston is where you find the majority of the red socks fans. And yes the rivalry is still there. But Tampa Bay has taken that spot for now. And most of the fans there will treat us yankess fans there fairly. Unless there drunk or other problems arise. But its mostly busness with the fans there and here of corse in New York. Its those fans who are over zelous for the teams is where the problems arise. Otherwise were no diffrent then those from Boston Even if your living there But for me I am a New Yorker living at the Niagara Falls and I am a Yankess fan. Also there are the Mets who share the state compation but thats fo ranother time if your more for the NL. I’m mostly AL.
Where I live, the important question is Cards or Cubs. Any team from the American League is looked down on. Their pitchers are lazy.
This is why we love Katie. She’s still coming to grips with the fact that she’s now a creature of legend and she can make a funny.
Oh that’s just priceless.
LMAO! Thanks Dirk, i needed the laugh, and oh yeah, SO true about the hat
Niiice… I’m finding it hard to describe how awesome this is.
But…what if she had to pee?
Guess it’s a good thing she doesn’t, eh?
As a St. Louis native here, I’ve gotta say… the Cards hat is an improvement. Good call, Mike. Good call. That’s one helluva disguise.
Dirk, you’re speaking my language. I know this area very well. I grew up just down I-74 in Champaign-Urbana. I know the Bloomington area like the back of my hand. And yes, I’m a die-hard Red Bird fan. I have that exact hat in my closet. How long did it take you to draw those hats? The detail is exceptional.
Did you say that Katie would probably be a Wolves fan, Dirk? As in, the Chicago Wolves AHL team?
If so, YES. Thrashers fan here (lol Atlanta hockey). Kate has just become even more awesome in my books.
That would be them, yup. I mean, how could she not?
I say SABERS ALL THE WAY ASS HOLES!!
I am a south side fan but I know what Kate is saying at least he is not wearing a Packers hat.
I secretly hope his bag has fifteen different team hats. With the scruff, he can blend at any truckstop in the midwest!
its easy for that but when you get in to a real resting place there will be cameras all over.
lol, guess the fbi-elves people or whatever are gonna start playing Where is Carmen Sandiego with em now?
Thats the first person to use that word now they come for your head now.
I’d do that if my partner just suddenly popped on a Texas hat,lol.
you would? Lets see you do it right now.
Meh? How the heck would I do that?
By the way I don’t see to many people commit on your front page articles and events. Let that change. NOW.
On a last note from Today I think is this. I dare any one who has the word “wolf” or anyother form of beast in there name to try and bite me.*Armes up and draws claymore sword* And Dirk if you dare try and sent kate to do this I will strike you down in person with thise words and they will come. May god grant me the victory for the comming struggle, aganst the forces of evil and damnation. Amen.
What’s with all the violent talk, Vincet? Chill out. This is just a webcomic site.
Somebody has been watching a little too much Hellsing these past few days.
Thank you, Vincent, for showing the inherent violence present in zealots of any religion.
Well I did not expect this. I have asburgers wich makes my socal skils a bit weak so hence this on a random day. So my thoughts will some time gets the best of me and well you see what it is. I was born with this condition. Its only minor I can stop it. So there is your explnation.
Vincent — I understand. I’ll try to keep this in mind in the future. Just remember it doesn’t hurt to reread what you’ve written before you hit the ‘Submit’ button, just in case. Thanks!
I know dirk. I do have a dry hummor issue. That above was to get some hummor going. If I didn’t explain it already then here it is.
Just wanted to thank you for sharing your amazing comic with us. Started reading it in my spare time and finally caught up to the current page.
Great job bringing your characters to life, both through terrific artwork and storytelling.
Thanks, KCK! I’ll try my best to keep up my efforts. =)
At least it’s not a Boston hat.
Are you a boston fan?
9/11 is tomarrow. dirk I hope you got a drawing to remember that day ready to be posted tomarrow.
[...] said, I based the interior of this place on the restaurant at the Dixie, which appeared back on Page 14. Submit [...]
Heh, these guys get along awesomely – you can keep your X-File Sculder and Mully
Ooooerrrr, here’s a bad thought: what happens if Kate goes ‘in heat’ or some-such while they’re playing at fugitives? 0_o
Too much information? Sorry! But come on now, those two would make great parents for a littler/puppies/kiddies that you’d DEFINITELY have a reason to lock up during their teenage years, don’t you think? ^_^
I’ll go waffle elsewhere now. Keep up the great work Dirk – loving every moment of it!
It kinda hurts as a St. Louis resident to see her freaking over the Cards… but honestly, its just the Cubs I dont like… the White Sox are completely fine
