RT: Killer Fashion
When I asked Griffon what she wanted me to say about today’s comic involving a recent and bizarre news story we read, she just asked that I remind the world that she is awesome, and we are all lucky to know her. Then she locked herself in her “dressing room” and refused to come out. I didn’t have the heart to point out that it was the hall closet. Hopefully the pile of air filters and old towels will clue her in.
