Lol. A movie brought an indie comic into the mainstream. Sometimes I think movie producers make their decisions based on how much nerdrage they can generate.

I just realized you can make a best-selling series of anything as long as you give it a titel whose initials are SP. Scott Pilgrim, Strawberry Panic, Skulduggery Pleasant…
I'm afraid I've been thinking in a similar way for the last three years Captain. I was always glad of OPie's ongoing update schedule while I was between volume releases for SP and I'm glad that the Pie continues and will probably carry on for a good long time yet.
I have to agree, mostly because it's the same sheepish look that Scott tends to wear. Except Will doesn't look like he's going to piss his pants in fear of a social faux pas.
Maybe when he said canon he meant it as a reference to Shakespeare?
In Hamlet, act 1, scene 3 (possibly not true– this is from memory. yes, I am refusing to look up accuracy when it is right at my fingertips.) when Hamlet went on a huge rant/whine (because that's all he really DOES) about there is a "canon 'gainst self-slaughter…" and in the notes at the bottom of the page, it said canon meant law.
So maybe he's saying it's like her law to drink at noon?
I mean, they were just in a bar called the 5th Amendment. So, the connection isn't too much of a long-shot. Hopefully.
"Canon" means when something is a rule or (normally a body of rules or principles) generally established as valid and fundamental in a field or art or philosophy. In this case, Eve's set of rules in Will's opinion would include bars at noon.

brown paper bags have a magical property that enables them to make liquor invisible

Will looks like a rugged Scott Pilgrim in that parka.

Nooooooo. You did not just say that. Noooooooooo. A movie comes out and now everyone is "Scott Pilgrim this" and "Scott Pilgrim that." Icky sticky.

1. Your name references the captain of a death trap (aka- transporter of herds of cows, stolen goods, etcetera etcetera)
2. Your hating on Scott Pilgrim.
3. Marry me.

Nerdrage as an alternative fuel supply?
