The Mythical Thigh Boob

There's more than one way to skin a skin salesman. Or grease a shin.

Isn't the theft of grease the plot of a Simpsons episode?
It absolutely is. I know some restaurants use their grease for fuel, but I can't imagine there is a lot of profit in it.

Also, I may regret asking this, but how much skin is $350,000 worth? Are we talking a torso-worth, or an amount best represented in square decameters?

That was my first thought as well. And...is the laboratory-grown skin worth more or less than normal skin?

Also, I'm surprised the guy wearing the Canucks jersey won. Usually anyone wearing a Canucks jersey falls over at the first hint of physical contract.

Used to be you could get waste grease for free from restaurants. You could then filter it (easily) and use it as biodiesel.

But now, companies are buying waste grease for recycling rather than charging restaurants to haul it away.

Thus, the theft...?
Just remember, you still need to pay fuel tax on it...because reasons. Along the same lines, my state is considering a mileage tax because too many people are buying cars that get too good mileage.

Speaking of plots to TV series, you people should submit ideas to the writers of Hannibal; that skin-carpeting sounds like a wonderful one-off episode.

If you want to make a rug out of human skin you need to stretch it. The Doctor Who team have already produced a mock-up.

I think you'd probably sell human skin grafts to mob doctors.

You could probably feed quite a few people with stolen skin and grease to cook it with. Just a thought.

I believe that "Birds of Prey" means that they train them to attack competitors at random to make the vents more eventful. By "believe", I do of course mean hope.

I always thought that Minotaur rhymed with mine o'door.

"That's your dream?!"

I love that Graham was having the same thought I was.

Good show, all.

Also: "Hey, Theseus! It's-a me, Minotaurio!"

Cupcake, cuuuupcakee, cupcatario, frosting.....I want frosting too!
On the plus side, at least the skin was artificially grown, and you know, not cut from the backs of chubby girls slowly starved in a well to make the skin more pliable.

One day you see a shylock to pay for skin graft salesman school, next thing you know, you're literally trying to pay them back in pounds of flesh.

A human rug would be nice if it only matched the rest of your decor [http://emcarroll.com/comics/skin/partfour.html].

When I saw "mystical thigh boob," I immediately thought of the Japanese concept of "zettai ryouiki." Damn "Outbreak Company" for adding to my geek knowledge, haha!

Incidentally, the concept of boobs on one's leg hold about as much appeal as Duke Nukem's wall boobs....BLARRGGHHH!!!!

On the other hand, I am totally accepting of alien women who have two pairs of tits (extraneous musings of certain Star Wars, Star Trek, and Mass Effect races). Not a fan of the tri-boob from Total Recall, however. Not enough symmetry I guess.

well, you may need a skin graft to replace your shin skin after the olympics, and your going to need that grease fuel to get there. so it all works out.

you need to pay fuel tax because grease fuel is still as bad for the enviroment as regular diesel and the tax was invented to lower the amount of envirment inpact by discouraging people form using cars. so yes, there is actual, good, reasons for it.

Oh thank god! I was scrolling through the comments and was astounded no one made that reference yet.

Wow, what an awesome comic! I love short horror stories. It seems that less detail in the writing encourages my imagination and gets me pretty creeped out.
