Gil Goodness, Gil. What'll happen is you'll make a totally rad domino chain and just as you're about to set the last piece one gust of wind or rogue rear end in a top hat sparrow is gonna knock down your entire afternoon's worth of work. Retail With those lost expressions these people better not be discussing anything less than a serious existential crisis! Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog It took you six days to come to that conclusion?! I hope you didn't have to apply the five-step-process of engineering to get to that. Dustin Your eating habits aren't much better Dustin so take care you don't turn into your dad when you're over the hill. On the Fastrack Get real, AC. Only a magic zap from another guy can do that. Safe Havens Maybe you could call it... a wild goose chase?

I had to stare at this a good while before I realised Mary had any eyes in that second panel. Also love that Johnny is so clearly depressed/uncomfortable in that first panel. Unfortunately his mother is too busy knattering on about nothing and Wilbur is so absorbed by his creeping that no one notices.

As someone who did time in the big-box store trenches, that Retail edit was a little too close to the bone. Y'know, Skippy always puts us in a good mood in the morning! Or whenever!

In today's system, Swee'pea would be tried as a juvenile and even if convicted, he'd spend aw cripes never mind I just realized how utterly depressing everything in Popeye is if you connect it to any kind of reality whatsoever.

I think even Popeye would stop short of showing a child being hanged on the comics page, no matter how poorly it's working.

Basically I hate Piranha Club for its dinosaur sensibilities, and Mother Goose and Grimm for it's nudge-nudge-wink-wink-I-told-a-joke humor. The latest "cartoon oscars please don't sue me" series of strips has been intolerable.
