If you dislike posting strips, don't post. It's not like someone won't pick up the strips you post if they're worthwhile anyway.

I'd like to note that no one picked up Gill, Bleeker, or any other holbrook pieces of poo poo during their blissful hiatus. But, here they are again. Oh joy. :sigh:
I missed HLTS though, and I thought of posting some of the back ones, but I kept forgetting.

Yep, there's no other possible explanation. He couldn't possibly have just held onto the glass. And there's no way that that "this man is my brother" lie could have caused any problems down the track.

Honestly, I thought the answer was that no professional writer could have written that note. The punctuation is atrocious. "Goodbye. My love. Yours forever. John."

I'm 48, I'm in the middle of a book contract, and I want to abandon the whole project to watch cartoons on a daily basis. The most sustained project I ever got into at age five was listening to, over and over again, my copy of the 1910 Fruitgum Company's 'Simon Says.' Come to think of it, that sounds preferable right now to facing the pile of notes and corrections lying here on my desk!

As for Luann Maybe they are headed into a movie theatre! Gunter is so goddamned naive that his girlfriend and pals have probably set up an elaborate Capricorn One scenario on him.

I can't find 'tradofydil' in a Google search. I'm guessing that's either a translation error or some complete bullshit that Inspector Danger made up. The glass being on the floor is obviously a super specious claim here, but:

What do you mean a 'slow-acting toxin', Inspector Danger? Anthrax is a slow-acting toxin, it takes a week to kill you. It is a painful and horrible death. Mercury is a slow-acting toxin, it can take quite a while to kill you while causing brain damage and a slow degeneration. Amatoxin is a slow-acting toxin, it kills you painfully over a period of days.

There aren't a whole lot of poisons fast-acting enough that you would just drop your glass immediately while managing to remain upright in your chair. He could have drunk a glass of potassium cyanide, that'd sure as hell kill him within half an hour, but he's also unlikely to be upright in that chair instead of flopped on the floor.

Of all the bullshit arguments Inspector Danger makes, this one is more bullshit than his racist crusade against Italians that will stop at no cost to put them behind bars.

Yes, tell the man you absolutely will pay anything he wants for that loving comic. Continue to repeat your mistakes in bartering because you're constantly rewarded no matter how poorly you do. I feel like we're learning that Batiuk thinks this is how bartering actually works, and one day he will have a revelation like Hank in King of the Hill when he realizes he's been getting completely hosed over by always paying sticker price for vehicles.
