"Remember: That which does not kill you was simply not permitted to do so for the purposes of the plot." ~Shamus

For us (his family) the funniest thing about this particular comic is the quotes he used. Those movie quotes were regular comments in our household, worked into as many conversations as possible. The kids saw all of these movies, most way before they really should have, mostly due to Shamus' excitement about sharing his passion with them, and my inability to remember the inappropriate bits of movies until I encountered them, tried to fast forward, hit pause or rewind instead (watching dvds on a Playstation 2 with the weird remote was really tricky). The kids have quite a few stories about such incidents, where I managed to get stuck on the entirely inappropriate scene instead of move beyond it in any direction.

Also, I distinctly remember Shamus saying, "Can't you guys stay in character for 5 minutes", at least 5 times per session, sometimes more. ~Heather
