Reason #485 why it would suck to be a caveman: I bet babies used to be even MORE annoying than they are today. All of today's babies are descended from the subset of caveman babies that were not intolerable enough to destroy.

Anyone who is offended by this was not on my flight last night.

Longtime readers know the Headstabbers literary/cinematic franchise is extremely popular (and prolific) in whatever time and place Wondermark occurs.

But a reader wrote in to let me know that it may actually be a remake! There is a 1978 German film called Messer im Kopf – in English, Knife in the Head.

As this review raves, the film contains, at least for the time:

“…arguably the most realistic enactment of a brain injury ever depicted in the cinema.”

A more succinct summary of Headstabbers you would be hard-pressed to find.
