No they don't. Mantises in stressful laboratory conditions do. Automatic cameras passively recording mantises in their natural habitat show them meeting, mating and going their separate ways.

Well I'm sure Jeff's masculinity needs to be validated for reasons described in my previous post. I can't read it any other way, knowing Reddick's past in editorial comics.

Jeez, I can't even imagine such a thing. Then again, I couldn't even recognize my mayor in a room of 2.

I can - but as DC doesn't have any Senators, no Governor and no voting members of the House, it's easy to remember. But I'm not bitter.

What's up with Dez's coloring on this strip? It's a much better fit imo,but then I guess the Evanses would have to have a poc in their strip, after they went to such trouble to write all of them out.

Holy poo poo, they went from "We tried to run an insurance scam on a lawyer because we're broke, what we really need are jobs!" to "Oh no, please, no money for us, it's enough that we get to spend forty hours a week in your geriatric sweatshop so that you and the famous rich people funding you can turn a profit!" awfully fast, even for a Judge Parker plotline. Even Neddy seems baffled by it. ("Wait...is this how Sam and Abbey feel all of the time?!")
