I'm trying to figure out how they know the eggs are being replaced with rocks too. There's a picture of a pig but honestly that's all that's there. He's a pig, so maybe he is just eating the ones you drop because pigs are fat and have characteristic. But I guess our protagonists know what is going on at all times.

Their friend told them. And then put the pictures online with tagged location so that murderous carnivores can easily locate the child in question and eat him.

You just know that's going to be the next "storyline". Whatsherface there is going to fall for Skip, Skip's going to be oblivious, and Gwen gets jealous and realizes she has feelings for Skip.

The Dinette Set knows why this new-fangled technology is bad.

She assumes he's dating Gwen, because they spend a lot of time together and apparently he's such a catch? Although even in this wretched comic I have no idea where anyone would get the latter idea.

It's because the women in the office are only able to date their coworkers and the only four guys to choose from are Skip, Barry, the programmer guy and intern boy. So obviously all the girls want Skip :barf:

He also hypnotized them to think that they saw right up his skirt when he started flying. They'll remember that for the rest of their lives, too, because magic is 25% about hypnotism, and 75% about loving with people.

Don't think about it to hard. All of Holbrooks universes completely fall apart when you think for more than a minute about how they are supposed to work or have any kind of knowledge in their topics.

Later on the kid grows up, gets married. An illusionary marriage that leads to the illusionary conception of three illusionary kids. Then THOSE kids grow up...

Eh, I see it as the same as having social media pages for the comic so fans can follow updates but attaching a character to them. A bunch of other cartoonists do it too. Like, there's one for Dustin Kudlick.

Dear Skippy, Here's a letter come
in from Ray Keenan with a check
for $5. Read what he sez.
Can you understand it? Sooky.


"Giddap! Giddap!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Tch! Tch! Tch!
Whoa! Whoa! goll ding it!
Message from the strip by Gowle?(??)
For P. Crosby, a fast, hard hitting lad from Richmond Hill -- 
from R. Keenan match maker of the Oriole A.C of Harlem
(him self a champ in his day)
Strip away! Look a Ray!
Hy dee diddle dee ay!
Quiet please! Quiet please!
Whoa! Whoa! I say!
Whoa! Goll ding me Ray!

Message says: "Dear Percy,
Here's five fast ones to the memory of
John L. who rang the bell and J(??) Mace
and the day (a blistering hot fourth of 
July it was too!) they fought 13 hours 
32 minutes, sixteen and 2/3 seconds
to last (fast?) draw on a barge in the 
Mississipi some where in New Orleans"

Charge your glasses to me, gents!

Shouldn't he have been walking the other way for this to have worked? It looks like she's supposed to have been hiding around the corner and stuck her foot out, but the way he fell means he should've seen her there the whole time.
