Pros & Cons


"Sergeant Colon had been happily married for years, perhaps because he and his wife arranged their working lives so that they only met occasionally, normally on the doorstep. But she left him decent meals in the oven, and there was clearly something there; they'd got grandchildren, even, so obviously there had been times when they'd been unable to avoid each other."

A freeter is someone who is unemployed or underemployed. At the time she drew this, I think it still had the connotation of someone who chose not to be a salaryman, as opposed to someone who was trying but couldn't find employment.

ETA: Wikipedia tells me it can also mean someone who is self-employed/does freelance work.
Also, NEET stands for Not in Employment, Education, or Training, and has more or less the same stigma of being a worthless dropout.

I also feel a bit bad for Heckbender. He was a monster, but he was sort of sympathetic.

Zachary having an encyclopaedic knowledge of gloryholes forced upon him would be the most entertaining thing to happen in this comic so far.

The setup of the last dozen or so strips is specifically to make us feel sympathetic for Heckbender. Look at how he reacts to the books. He's actually thinking about them and enjoying the time he's spending with the kids reading them. Even here as he's chasing after the kids, it's possible to feel sympathy for him because what he's shouting about is not that, it's that he's feeling betrayed and lied-to. This strip is amazing.

What God wants, God gets, God help us all
Dear Inspector Danger,

I am a Lord who is in failing health and I am beset by my three squabbling nephews who wish to pillage my considerable estate as soon as I die. I wish to donate my liquid wealth to charity and thus deny the little monsters at least some of the worldly wealth they have in no way earned. Due to international finance entanglements, I am unable to withdraw £9,087,529 from my accounts without paying £4,752 in processing fees. I write to you due to your reputation as an upstanding and honest friend to ailing millionaires. If you could provide me with the £4,752 needed to access my own money, then I would gladly reimburse you that amount plus £100,000 before I donate the remainder to St. Wickham's Reformatory School for Naughty Girls, an institute deserving of quite a lot of compen aid. Meet me on my country estate tomorrow at midnight. Come alone. I fear my nephews may try to murder me if I cannot make this transaction soon.

Sincerely,
Lord Peabody Throbottom III, Col., Ret.

P.S. This is not a trap designed to lead you into an ambush. Someone would have to think you were an incompetent busy-body to consider so dreadful a plot. A plot, I might add, that your keen investigative wit would see right through.

Thank you so much for posting this strip. It's convinced me to go and buy the e-book format of this storyline - there don't appear to be hard copies, or I'd put it up in our kids book collection.

On a side note, on today's (May 5, 2014) Lost Side of Suburbia on gocomics, there's a villain introduced as a "peddler of bootleg Calvin and Hobbes merchandise" and wearing a "Bill & Opus '84" straw hat.

EDIT: Er, or try. None of the links on the LSoS store seem to work. It's disappeared from iTunes, Amazon and Google Play, it looks like.

That is not Jane. That is....Not-Jane. She and Chelle go on buddy cop style adventures where they also gently caress

It's a flash...something or another. She was bitching about guarding some rich rear end in a top hat at a ski resort, but suprise! It's a woman, and she wants to do it!
