Stuff like this always makes me wonder what percentage of our fiction/literature would be lost forever if characters were forced to allow each other to explain themselves when situations like these arise. It's constantly happening in good and bad fiction alike, especially if you include "I have a huge secret and I could fix everything in the first five pages if I reveal it right away but I'll hold onto it until everybody's doomed or dead because I don't want you to think poorly of me."

What? I thought the Queen specifically owned all dolphins caught (or washed up dead) near England's shore. Did this guy ask permission before he literally ate the Queen's lunch? Because that'd be a terrible thing to go to prison over.

It's swans and "royal fish" (sturgeon, whales, porpoises).

I'd say it was the British equivalent of those antiquated laws in the US about not letting donkeys wear hats in church or whatever, but apparently a guy got arrested in 2004 for catching and selling a sturgeon, so someone over there is taking it seriously.

But, that would make for boring reading, and we wouldn't have these great angry LuAnn drawings!

Is it my imagination or is the art different? The shading looks all crosshatched and stippled. Kind of pop-arty. But maybe it's been that way for a while and I didn't notice.

After being absent for a few months the strip has recently rebooted with a new art style. The protagonist, Morris Gumboot, has just woken up from an 8-year sleep and is reconnecting with his old life, including his robot roommate TOBY. In the past TOBY was evil (the strip is alternately called "TOBY, Robot Satan") but it remains to be seen whether this is still the case. He seems to have given up his signature viking helmet which now hangs behind the bar where Morris worked.
