Have you seen the movie Say Anything with John Cusack? If so, you'll remember the iconic scene where he tries wooing a girl by playing "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel on a boom box held over his head. Pokey is trying to the same thing with a can that just moved into the neighborhood.
That's it this week. Let us know in the comments below what other Best Stuff you dug this past week. Special thanks to @Bamz2Bluntz, @ploiken, and @Mrnoital for their suggestions. If you want to participate or felt we missed some other Best Stuff, don't complain, contribute, especially if you didn't offer any suggestions. Each week you can @reply me on Twitter at @GManFromHeck by Saturdays using the hashtag #BestStuffInComics. We'll give you a shout out and I'll think you're pretty groovy.
Be sure to always look for the best stuff and always be sure to use an iPod and speakers instead of a boom box when trying to woo someone. Holding a giant stereo over your head the length of an entire song could make your arms sore later.
