It's a good thing that Brooke drew a bandage on Bert, otherwise we'd never be able to tell that his hand was horribly mutilated.

I'm not sure I get the central joke of this whole storyline. Can he stretch it out for another week or two so I can puzzle it out?

Probably Magic: Oct 9, 2012; Looking cute, feeling cute.

So a couple weeks ago I was in small-town Kentucky, where I'd grown up around, and whose local paper at one point auditioned Get Fuzzy when it was good for a month before replacing it on an ongoing basis with Funky Winkerbean during the depths of its Cancer Angst Woes. Naturally, during my return, I rechecked to see if Funky indeed still dwelled on its pages, which it did not for reasons unknown. (The Gay Prom Goers storyline probably did it in.) Anyway, instead it had something from Fort Knox, which looks something like this.

So yeah, the Messenger-Inquirer is still hitting it out of the park on the funny pages.

STOP loving TALKING!!

It's just been the two of them talking since the 14th of July, and even that was just when they played that dumb practical joke on the local gossip. Tommie has been in Happiness Falls or whatever this place is called since the start of April. We are now on month six of the slowest, most boring story in this comic's history.

So I saw earlier in the thread about that "Zen Pencils" comic and how bad the robin williams tribute was. I checked Gocomics to look for it, but couldn't find it.

However, I did find this.

Zen Pencils might be the worst comic I have ever seen.

Edit: Oh, the tribute comic is on their website.

It's terrible.

What the blithering gently caress is this supposed to be about? Is he really making some sort of ironic statement about people worshipping the Beatles and looking to them for spiritual guidance in the year two thousand loving fourteen?

Zen Pencils is always a mess, but it is always unironically so. He is agreeing with Lennon's statement that we are all personally responsible for achieving our dreams, just like Jesus Christ the great master said in the Bible but nobody knows that because they don't read it anymore, while presenting the Beatles as "great masters" equivalent to Jesus Christ because Lennon once made a somewhat rambling affirmation quote when Playboy asked him what his dream for the 1980s was.

I've been amused at the highly inappropriate smiling faces during this story. But then, that's all that keeps me coming back to A3G; the faces that never match the words.

Oh, okay, now it makes sense. Every time we saw the cats talking, they were talking cat, and not the shared language of dogs and humans.
