Overheard at a bus stop

Featuring teenagers1, 2, and 3, playing hooky and waiting for a bus to downtown Seattle.

1- Is that the 31?
2- We could take the 31.
3- Where's it go?
1- Mongolia.
2- Mongolia?
3- Ha. It says 'Magnolia'.
1- Well I couldn't--it was at an angle, so I--it looked like 'Mongolia'.
3- Isn't that a type of teriyaki?
1- I think it's a place. Isn't it some kind of place?
2- That's in, like, West Seattle.

I could have put on some music. Instead, I listened to this. ... For those who don't know, Magnolia is a neighborhood in Seattle. Neither it, nor Mongolia can be found in West Seattle.

I put it to you:

What is wrong with moustaches? Eh?

For Every Problem, a Solution (2)

Each panel originally had a caption, a feature which was scrapped in a silly attempt to bring cohesiveness to the page as a whole. They were as follows: panel 1 - Pig fingers! Carrot hands! Cannot draw! panel 2 - Focus off. panel 3 - Perspective is a matter of perspective. panel 4 - What, me worry? In thinking about it, I suppose I might have impanelled these in the orange bar at the right, but it probably would've been a bit much. ... I'm not sure how wide-spread the campaign is, but in Seattle, there are numerous billboards and bus signs which read, "Jesus is ____." I want to play mad libs with these things, or else write in, "a day labourer." Other acceptable answers include, "bearded," and, "featured in a Leonard Cohen song."

For Every Problem, a Solution (5)

The final installment of the 'Solution', unless I decide to draw out the following ideas: -Glen Danzig in 'Heavy Metal Human Sacrifice' -Two Face in 'Homophobia' - Steve Martin, as Navin Jackson, in 'Jerks!'
