I wrote several paragraphs explaining that gun and its ammunition for Mark, and ended it with "I'm not Masamune Shirow, so we're done with ammo and gun statistics now."

Oh, and it's not apparent because this is a black and white comic, but the egg in the second panel is purple. I remember that the grocery store near where I grew up had a barrel of those things. This was, of course, the early 1970s, when terrycloth was considered an appropriate material to make into clothing and the weather channel was a text-displaying channel on cable TV that was fed information directly by an anemometer at the local cable office. For all I know, those eggs were discovered, at some point in the last 40 years, to cause brain cancer.
