I've got my father's great big six-shooter with me 'n' if anybody in this woods wants to start somethin' just let 'em--but they DASSN'T.

I think he's what's her name's father, except he's not actual her father because Grandma hosed/fell in love with a Nazi. But I think he raised her, but was a bitter person because he knew she wasn't his daughter? I think. I don't know, I think last thread or tow threads ago somebody started posting this storyline, but stopped at some point (because it was terrible the first time, it was terrible when it was being reposted, and it's still terrible know in these reruns).

This is a continuation of (or parallel story to) that "Edie Ernst: USO Spy" bullshit that ran interminably for a year and a half several threads ago, except this is the story from dad-not-dad's point of view. If he didn't make all of that clear...well, that's because a certain pretentious cartoonist doesn't do clarity anymore.

Among the other storytelling and artistic flaws that drove us all up the wall, Edie's story was paced terribly. There was no reason it couldn't have been wrapped up in a fraction of the time (Brooke's editors are probably terrified of him at this point), and there's no reason to expect that this one won't drag on forever, too.

No. A camera scanning a QR code doesn't know how big it is as long as it can focus well enough to resolve it. Meaning Jeremy might need to take a step or two back to properly scan it. A dedicated hand QR scanner might have issues, but that's a limit of the scanner, not the protocol.

The reason the guy is a general manager when he has no apparent useful abilities or connections is because he's a serial sexual harasser. I know that makes no sense but I'm sure there's women who can back up having met these kinds of people on a regular basis while at work.

I still don't get it. Why would sexually harassing women get him promoted?

With Grandma dead, Skip hasn't eaten anything in weeks other than the gruel that Bleaeker produces as an emergency food source. Skip is lucky this design feature was implemented as the developers for Bleaeker were aware only criminally negligent parents would actually buy a Bleaeker to care for their child.

Needless to say, Skip is getting a nice meal tonight as soon as Bleaeker tranquilizes him and slaughters the dog to cook.

They were shown a few times, but only from the waist down. The last time we saw them (or rather, their legs and butts) they were heading out the door with suitcases saying "Oh, Grammy K is going to come stay with you for a while!" Exit parents, pursued by a bear. We also had Refurb as one of the new characters, but he's actually pretty good. This dog makes the fourth new character introduced to the strip in the last year or two. I guess they're just throwing everything at the metaphorical wall to see what sticks.

Yeah, I just started reading it from the beginning and Skip's parents are around in the house but off panel. Also Bleeker is the only robot so far and it's a lot of Skip trying to treat Bleeker like a real dog gags.
