Perhaps now we can explore what being a “gal pal” really means.
Torchy, we're unemployed … And no one is hiring scantily-clad wastrels these days.
Only zombies dig to rock and roll, daddy-O!
After you lather me up with that strawberry hand lotion.
Of all the layoffs, Torchy Todd and her gal pal, Tess Parker, were hit the hardest.
At least until the peyote kicks in ...
Why do so many guys love anime girls?
Marijuana makes Jesus cry!
Times might be tough … But at least there's one thing we all agree on.
Two letters of transit signed by General De Gaulle … Stimpy, you eediot!
What is one small habit that has transformed your life in unexpected ways?
“Your boyfriend is a total perv, mommy.”
And I ended up moonlighting in Japanese porn, but the less said about that the better.

Let's do what we always do, lay around half-naked while men make terrible jokes at our expense.
Shameless vixen! Trollop!

Make Nazis afraid again!
In 1954 complete bastard and censorship campaigner Fredric Wertham published a book for the stated goal of creating a moral panic around comic book's alleged impact on juvenile delinquency.
