Retail Zzzzzzzzz...  Boy, I really hope no one notices the irony in retail workers who commit crimes looking down their noses at those lowly inventory workers who commit crimes! Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  Skip doesn't even get those cool bandages with Power Rangers and Transformers and poo poo on them?  It's a prize... for eating the equivalent of half a pound of processed sugar. Dustin  Christ, Dustin. You're way too soft. You're being jerked around by a drat six year old.  Curse my layabout son wasting money on frivolous things like car repairs! On the Fastrack  Maybe you should port yourself to Linux where all the cool freeware hangs out.  Never heard that one before. Safe Havens  How come the rat-flowers can talk but Sam had to use semaphore? Also those flowers are going to grow to monstrous size while you're away and go all Little Shop of Horrors on the lab.  Cleaning that tank must be a lot of fun.

I kinda zoned out on it months back, when it was making the lumbering transition from Rich People Get Richer to some kind of spy drama. While the current strips are going nicely, yeah, I still don't really get how the balance of Dying Spy Dad in a War Zone and Rich People's Wedding came to be or why it lasted for months before things suddenly started happening.

I started wondering, what's the deal with The Dinette Set and read the wikipedia page:quote:Most of the humor in the strip comes from the shirts the characters are wearing and signs hanging in the background. The characters are usually wearing T shirts that have the name of a popular book or movie or TV show and then that say "on ice". (Example: The Jerk on Ice) Usually these pop culture references have never been performed on ice. A lot of times at least one of the characters have a coffee mug that says "shut up" on it. In the scenes in the dining room, there is a to do list hanging in the background for humor. The strip usually has an object hidden in the picture for the reader to find known as a "find it". Okay!

Unless you've worked in a big box retail environment this might not make sense to you. Some of my co-workers were a little on the trashy side, and even they would comment about certain inventory workers being scraped from the bottom of the barrel. Some would show up reeking of pot or alcohol, some would get led out of the store by police under mysterious circumstances. Almost every time we would find at least one person that completely made up inventory counts for their sections. I think Feuti nailed this aspect of the retail environment.

^^^ Good Lord, they drugged that little girl to get her to keep that beret on. Just look at her face.BlankIsBeautiful posted:Jane's World Tiggum posted:Or who she was, or who the woman drugging her was, or who the woman she was just talking on the phone to was, or whether this was a flashback, an event currently happening in the present, a dream or hallucination or the result of time travel. Or anything really. I can only follow this comic when it's directly about Jane, and then only usually. Yeah, I'm convinced that Jane's World has become its own version of Rip Haywire, with lesbians. While Rip Haywire is constant rising action and climaxes with nothing else, Jane's World seems to have turned into constant rising action and nothing else. I'm guessing this vignette will be cut away from before it resolves meaningfully and we'll be on the next one.

Bloom County At last, the Bloom County/Mandrake The Magician cross-over begins!  The most immediately-interesting thing about John Connally is that he was riding in the car with JFK when that assassination took place. He was also fastidiously tidy about his personal appearance, which is a pretty terrible combo. Calvin And Hobbes   Today's Today's DOGG will be another one spoilered for  content. Ripley's
