Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original strip, Jon's abandoned activity was weed whacking. Here, it's Egyptology, the scientific study of ancient Egypt.

Rachel Weisz is an actress who played Evelyn Carnahan, one of the main characters in the 1999 film The Mummy. In it, she awakens a mummified Imhotep, who had been placed under the curse of Hom-dai, which the title of this edit is a play on. The author's note speculates that Rachel, being an attractive woman, was the entire reason Jon pursued the subject, and ended up mummified himself.

The author writes[edit | edit source]

He probably only got into Egyptology because of Rachel Weisz.

Original strip: 2005-06-02.
