Has there ever been a wedding arc in a newspaper strip where the characters actually go through with planning and holding an event? One couple deciding they don't need a big elaborate ceremony because their love is true and that's what really matters is fine. Every couple doing that just gets depressing.

I didn't know this, but apparently Guy Gilchrist used to also have a strip called Today's Dogg. It's about what you'd expect.

Bill Holbrook strips. He has so many characters across three strips that it's like he's writing wedding plots twice a year every year.

I suppose the joke is the real-world NCAA makes large amounts of cash by exploiting unpaid "student-athletes." Hence, "they're all predators."

As for why Kell's asking about it, you got me. Awkward punchline setup?

Uh, aren't you? You have a casket as a desk, and a casket as a bed and probably have a couple in your room as a closet and storage chest too.

Safe Havens

No poo poo. This whole arc was pretty hosed up. "Hey let me just get all our friends and family to gang up on you and peer pressure you into having kids you're not ready for instead of sitting down and talking it over between the two of us." If I were Samantha I'd tell Dave to go gently caress himself.

Yeah what happened here? He gets the loaner dog, takes it home and says "Here's our loaner dog" and then the very next strip is "Well time to return the loaner dog!" Wasn't he supposed to have it for two days?

And Inspector Danger puts away another innocent man for the horrible crime of having had some money saved up.

I've come to realize that Inspector Danger is the strip I look forward to the most. I'm not really sure what that says about me.
Edit: Look forward to in a "love to hate" kind of way, I mean. Not saying it's good.
