Though I still think Cerebus would be a Bruins fan.
So if there are any readers of AMoC living in Alberta, and you see a redhead woman wearing Bruins gear and a hat that looks like Cerebus' helmet, yell "Habs suck!" and I'll give you a "Go Flames" or "Go Oil" depending on what city I'm in.

Your friend and mine (and Superman's Frenemy), David Birdsong made this (how can you have them bigger if you don't click the pic?):
Remember, if you wanna get in on the insanity (or you think you can do better) (or you have a dynamite raisin poundcake recipe that you're just DYING to share) (or you're just feeling lonely and desire human contact) (but mostly, if you have a Vark Wars idea.) send it to thevarkwars@gmail.com, that's thevarkwars@gmail.com thevarkwars@gmail.com
Next Time: Dave's weekly update, and Vark Wars?

OK, so a Bruin is a bear - but how does one get "Habs" out of that??!?
Tony,
The Habs or 'Les Habitants' refers to the Montreal Canadiens.
So when someone says 'The Habs suck' they are referring the the Canadiens not the Bruins
"The Canadiens are called 'The Habs' because it's short for Les Habitants, which is what many french supporters of the team believe the H in the middle of the logo to stand for. However, it stands for Hockey, in the team's official name, Club de Hockey Canadien."
Oh...why would anyone yell "Habs Suck" at someone dressed in Bruins gear, then?
Some questions just aren't meant to be answered, I guess.
M, does this tie in to the Louis Riel story, which was made semi-famous by Chet Brown's graphic novel? About which Dave Sim and Chester exchanged numerous letters in the aughts, which letters were published in "Cerebus"?
Nice explanation Erick.
To a Bruins fan, one can either say "Go Bruins" or "Habs suck", both are equally good greetings. I figured being out in Cow Town and Oil Country, that as a Bs fan, I wouldn't hear many 'Go Bruins" greetings, so a 'Habs suck' would suffice. Unfortunately, no one took me up on my offer. Though we did get some Go Bruins surprisingly enough.
And if y'all ever get a chance I recommend Alberta - beautiful province what with the dinosaur fossils and "badlands" in the east and the mountains and glaciers in the west. Amazing place.
