Bim Toggling (no real spoilers)

[Geoduck]

For anyone who was wondering about the mention of bims and toggling in a recent strip, it's a reference to one of my favorite authors, the outdoor humorist Patrick McManus. Specifically, in one of his stories, he makes joking reference to working in an ad agency on the "bim toggling" account ("We toggle your bims!") and the phrase always stuck with me. I've made other references to his work in the strip, and I recommend his books to one and all. You don't have to be an outdoor enthusiast; I haven't been camping or fishing since I was about 12, and I have always find his work hilarious. Google has most of his books posted on-line.

Also, I wanted to point out/admit that the bim toggle wall appeared previously, here. I do try to maintain continuity when I can, and if I can re-use a background, it is one less thing to draw. I'll also admit that when I drew that originally, I had no clue what the phrase even meant. While I know that the broad arc of the story is going, I often try to leave myself plot-hooks I can either pick up later or feel free to ignore.

Patrick McManus is awesome, but I haven't read anything by him for probably 20 years, so I missed the book with the bim toggling in it. Thanks much for the clarification! I look forward to how it plays out in your most excellent strip.
