Lotta folks posted Death quotes when Terry Pratchett died; turns out the appropriate one would have been the "think of it as beating the rush" one.

Has the overwhelmingly negative reaction caused the Evanses to rethink the whole 9/11 wedding thing?

Credit where credit is due, having multiple things go to poo poo all at once and then want to elope is an accurate depiction of wedding planning.

This has been bothering me since this storyline started. How is this article going to work? Mark's going to talk about these healthy bats and then awkwardly segue into "but if they happened to have white-nose syndrome, that would be bad." Don't you want to go visit a sick colony and observe the effects for your article? Why are you looking at healthy bats as research for your article about bat diseases?

Presumably Mark's built up a lot of wiggle-room for the occasional crappy fluff piece based on the success of his multi-part saga "I Fought a Bear and Won."

As someone with a firefighter buddy, I can tell you that the captain denying vacation time is pure horseshit. My friend can routinely string together a month off every year because of the way their schedules work; you're on for 24 hours, off for 48. On the ninth or tenth cycle, you're off for the 24 you're supposed to be on. But you can trade days with other firefighters and stack massive amounts of time off with no one batting an eye. And on way less notice than what Brad and Toni are giving.

The stakes for this comic are always so drat low; how does it engender more rage in me than all the others combined? :bang:

Gabe, we can get shirtless and go bouldering to reach the roosts for a few photos, and then maybe wrestle a few big horn sheep for some more pictures to go in a sidebar. Then you can get some more shots of my torso for the regular column on outdoor muscle toning, written by my abs.

Here's the Mary Worth storyline, starting December 2, 1958. Sorry for the image dump, and forgive the quality, some were vertical, some horizontal, and I did my best. Also, some dates are missing. Mary did her meddling duty, but that strike in NYC must have sucked.


Mary Worth (December 2, 1958 to December 28, 1958)
Wow! Thanks for finding that. All the sites I found where it looked like I could look at scans of old papers had a paywall. An interesting story. It's nice to see some Classic Mary Worth.

Disappointing, but as that position is more or less ubiquitous among American conservatives and he's a middle aged white guy from Georgia, not terribly surprising. Still, it does kind of ruin what was otherwise an amusingly pessimistic Sunday strip.

Well, Liberace would probably fight him for that title.

But I think the joke is that the writer turns out a script on racism that's just a string of cliches ... and Hollywood is still so afraid of controversy that they replace the black character with a blond, blue-eyed all-American type, completely obliterating whatever social message the script might have had.

Based on a true story. Although knowing Serling, he wouldn't do it the easy way if it was in his power.

As far as confronting civil rights issues, 1950s television (on the fictional side, at least) was an embarrassment. One of the anthology series did a version of Huckleberry Finn and Jim wasn't even in it.

Which somehow segues into today's Pogo, where superior logic is no match for overwhelming numbers. (January 15-16, 1958)

If Mark Trail just became an endless series of excuses for Mark to take his shirt off and wrestle animals, I would be totally OK with that.
