I'm still unclear why exactly does he hate Kipawa?

Well it's either because the notion of a younger, more physically able replacement fills him with existential dread about the grim role he has been forced into where he will have to succeed his father when the time comes... or because he's a whiny little poo poo. I'm leaning towards the latter.

I feel like in the days before a decentralized, global repository of sports records it wouldn't be at all difficult to keep a dead-end minor-league career a total secret from everyone who wasn't a talent scout, much less stupid teens who might not even have been born at the time.

Luann is a family strip about those wacky teens/college students and their foibles. If they (the writers or the somehow self-aware characters in Luann) are looking over at at the Richie Riches over in Judge Parker and Rex Morgan and hoping they can score some free unearned poo poo of their own, they shouldn't. Luann isn't in the Entitled Wealthy People genre and it would be out of place.

Of course anybody is capable of receiving free stuff if there's somebody offering it. It just doesn't fit with the general theme of the strip and I hope it doesn't become a regular thing.

Because I really care about Luann. I care deeply.

It wasn't him being a spoiled brat, it was that he wasn't allowed to play sports in college. He had played professional ball, and therefore was banned from college ball.

Working Daze is probably a trace job.

I think you are right. At least some of it appears to come from this splash page from The Dark Knight Returns:

F Minus

Even the baby thinks this guy's a jackass.

Mary Worth

Toby's mug is steaming, Ian's is not. Why? Because Ian drinks nothing but straight bourbon 24/7. Which helps explain why he's so afraid he's on the bubble at his job, and why he's so inconsiderate to his wife.

Rex Morgan MD

By that he means he has already killed them.

Secret Agen X-9

She's really quite calm about her imminent doom.

Apartment 3-G

Once you open a door, the person on the other side just comes in and starts walking around. This is how that works in the real world.

Luann appears to become Tommie there too. Could A3G be a whole Fight Club thing? Maybe Margo's the only real one.

The Comics Curmudgeon posted:

The Apartment 3-G dreamscape continues with this callback to a previous plot that almost seems to make sense in light of previous events but then not really at all when you think about it for more than 30 seconds! Lu Ann didn�t �meet Eric a few years ago�; she worked for him at his gallery, as did her drug-addled boyfriend, and was spending enough time with him to send Margo spinning into a hilarious jealous rage. She and Tommie in fact both knew Eric pretty well, so why would Tommie�s protest be that �Eric Mills died five years ago� rather than �Eric Mills looked nothing like this man standing in our apartment?� Or if he does look like Eric, why aren�t they saying �But we thought you were dead?� It�s like they�re constructing the reality of their world using logic and their vague memories of the past rather than the evidence of their senses, which, I guess, wouldn�t be the first time.

Radio Patrol

Anybody know a thing or two about oldschool forensics? This comic was first published in 1945. As far as I know, the ability to analyze DNA evidence was still a long way down the road. So how do they know whose blood is whose? Blood types, maybe?

I still don't remember when they got "married", or whatever that is in their universe.

That's actually a really neat rendering of Nemi.
