This does not address the discrepancy in vacuum cleaner designs and you drat well know it.

Every single T-800 looked exactly the same, man. And they weren't designed for going back in time, they were designed for infiltrating survivor enclaves. The Vacunator not blending in very well is absolutely part of the joke.

I would be alright with Kit studying magic under Mandrake, leaving Heloise to fill the shoes of Phantom.

That would pretty much be the best outcome for this story. I hold no hope of it actually happening though.

Rex Morgan MD

Man, it really feels like this has been the longest stretch of Rex Morgan, MD strips that we've seen where there hasn't even been so much as a hint of turmoil, conflict, or mild inconvenience for them. The ex-nanny got, what, a week or two to worry about how to steal her husband's company and fire her stepson, and ever since then it's just been one long parade of...whatever this is supposed to be. Some kind of anodyne newspaper-subscriber fantasy, I guess, where being a white upper-middle-class professional means that your children are perfect, their tuition at expensive private schools will get paid for by someone else, and your other rich friends will bring you expensive coffee and you will hear nothing but good news, forever and ever, amen.

This is the second time the strip has referenced this exact scene, and the second time I have made this exact edit.

Ballard Street

Huh. I've never seen a doggy screen door. I imagine they're not very common for this exact reason.

Lost Side of Suburbia

I don't think these two strips were ever intended to be right next to each other on the same page like this.

It's amazing how much stuff you can pack into the back seat of a Bug, and that tiny storage space behind the back seat. My first three transcontinental moves were like that.

I figure it's either that or smuggling people across the border. Depends on how dark Jam Esallen wants to get, I suppose.
