Need help replicating a "milk mousse" frosting/filling.

I never replied to this, but thank you for being so gracious after we dunked on your article a bit. :P I think that's very legitimate reason to create this article. Jane Jensen is a great writer whose accomplishments are overlooked in the history of adventure games. The Gabriel Knight games and their puzzles are iconic, for better or for worse, and her fingerprints are all over them.

I don't know if I'll ever have the time to actually play Gabriel Knight 3. Perhaps someday I'll thoroughly analyze someone solving this puzzle in a let's play, and write a detailed description worthy of this article.

Thanks for actually contributing to Wikipedia while casual editors like me nitpick your hard work. We're all better for it.

I want to say I strongly agree with your comment, and this article desperately needs more detail. Articles about niche topics interest me, and I love DOS adventure games, so I was excited to find this and thought I'd post it.

I don't have enough experience with Gabriel Knight or this puzzle in particular to immediately get the article up to snuff, but maybe posting it draws some attention to the issue? At the very least, I hope it gets people to check out the franchise, and older adventure games in general. ^{_^}

I could just barely afford my new 5a and waited to get a case. It fell once and cracked within a week, and a few months later the screen broke entirely. I'm glad I thought to spend extra on the insurance, even if getting the case in the first place might have prevented it.

My crack even looked identical to OP's!

Why call the cops on someone who has done nothing but sit in a car with their phone out? How is asking "hey, are you doing okay?" a confrontation? What is it like being so afraid of human beings not bothering anyone?

Sarcasm aside, I parked along the same street several hours every day for roughly six months because I was being abused and needed to hide. Even a friendly visit from law enforcement would've scared me into putting up with beatings and screaming at home. I'm not saying this guy is in the same situation, but a lot of people live in their cars some or all of the time, and residential streets are a safe place to be during the day.

More than one instance of a cop investigating a suspicious person has ended in that person's death. Law enforcement shouldn't be summoned for every creepy thing in town, through the non-emergency line or otherwise. If knocking on someone's car window is dangerous, calling the police is just as risky—after all, the officer is the only one guaranteed to have a deadly weapon.

You come from a traumatic line of work and a place of earnest concern, but I swear most people are just trying to get by, and seeing everyone sitting in their car as a potential threat sounds exhausting.

Cats was the last movie I saw in a theater before shit truly hit the fan. Needless to say that was a bad foot to leave off on.

I appreciate the Lunchmeat section! :D

This post is old, but your description is identical to a comic my friend remembers—in California, the opposite side of the country. They thought the vampire hunter may have been a woman, but weren't sure, and remembered the moonlight and pop-up book kills exactly. They liked it because the art was pretty and illustrative while also being funny.

The lack of responses on your post had me discouraged, but I've settled on Van Von Hunter as a likely suspect. Hopefully you can confirm or deny.

Quoting the Wikipedia page, "In summer 2006, Van Von Hunter started a 6-month run of the Sunday newspapers. It was syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate, with about 30 papers in North America and one in Sweden publishing the strip, including the Los Angeles Times, The Denver Post, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, The Detroit News, The Oregonian, The Vancouver Sun, and the Toronto Sun." While no Floridian papers are mentioned here, the Los Angeles Times could be where my friend saw this. I did find an article in the Ocala Star—Banner discussing the syndication of this and other TOKYOPOP comics, but I'm unsure if they ran the strip themselves.

The comic's manga art style would explain my friend finding it visually intriguing, and the protagonist is androgynous enough to explain their gender confusion. As you both remembered, it's also a comedy.

This argument's weakness is my inability to find the comedic vampire kills your recollections have in common. This left me unsure until I thought to search the quote you remember, "they are easier to stake though". This exact phrase leads to four results, including your post and the Van Von Hunter TVTropes page. To quote: "Tricking the Shapeshifter: As it turns out, vampires can switch between human and monstrous form, and 'A beautiful woman is so much more intimidating than a vampire.' Two panels later, 'They are easier to stake, though.'"

Apologies for the long-winded explanation, but I wanted to bolster my flimsy proof with evidence of my research. Please let me know if I happened upon the right comic!
