Well, the gist of it is that trapeze guy is a time traveller come back from after world war 4 (when Australia successfully inverted the worlds' gravity to give us a strategic advantage) in order to stop the rise of his least favourite breakfast cereal. His wife is the resurrected-daily clone of the best plate of fish and chips he ever had, whom he grew to love (after getting sick of having fish every night for 2 years in a row) and eventually paid off his geneticist friend to develop a DNA cocktail to turn her human every morning. Don't ask where the potato or lemon went into her genetic makeup.

Skippy (December 2, 1926) All well and good, but how the hell is that supposed to sell Christmas Seals? Peanuts tells the story of my life. (February 23, 1967)  Funky Winkerbean  So will the lawsuit be over ageism or that she was bumped off of TV with a limp pun? Popeye, in which it still hasn't dawned on anybody that they're got a little kid locked up in grown-up jail.  Rip Haywire  Pogo, in which Mam'selle gets with the program.

Bloom County    Calvin And Hobbes   Cheap Thrills Cuisine  The Flying McCoys is a joint effort between the guy who does The Duplex and his brother, Gary.  Foolish Mortals is another 'gag-a-day' single-panel strip, because you just can't get enough of those!  For Heaven's Sake follows the mad-cap, zany adventures of a Reverend with an attitude! The art always makes me think of Shoe.

SubNat posted:The Prettiest House I've finally caught up all the way after the longest time and I just want to say, with this and the last storyline I have gained a new appreciation for Moomin comics, they really are wonderful. Darthemed posted:The Flying McCoys is a joint effort between the guy who does The Duplex and his brother, Gary. Indolent Bastard posted:Mike du Jour Aaaaand as usual Lester and the McCoys can go gently caress themselves. What I want to know is how the comic strips by two awful, shitheaded conservative political cartoonists (The Duplex and Mike Du Jour) can be so bizarrely similar, right down to an obsession with lame puns. They even both have "Du" in the title! Did they plan this? Are they a hive-mind?? Are they both uncreative morons whose "work" should never grace the comics page again??? (It's the last one, but I won't discount the other two as contributing factors.)

"Woman, I just done hosed your pussy raw, what are you on about?" Am I reading the rest right? Grandma is jealous of one of her husband's old friends and then uses that as emotional blackmail until he caves and gives her money to shut up?
