What's this five letter word he keeps using: "drama"? Apparently it can be applied to plotting in Judge Parker? And this other six letter one: "trials"?

Huh. So we won't have a month of strips telling us how exciting it will be when the new clothing factory opens tomorrow... if tomorrow ever comes???
And is there some huge purge going on? New writer on Rex Morgan, Judge Parker, new artist on Mary Worth- did the syndicate wise up after the Apartment 3C fiasco about putting fresh talent into play?

My one worry is that we'll see a Sally Forth crossover at some point, and Mike Manley will use the opportunity to depict both Sally and Hillary as gorgeous twenty-somethings will lovingly-rendered breasts.

Not the first time. They've done a variation of this "flipped the picture" clue several times already.

That's one of the things that makes Inspector Danger so tricky; you never know whether you're seeing a deliberate clue or a lazy mistake.

Since Luann’s town is, based on prior clues, located in California, mother’s rights trump all … maybe it will be a double whammy – Jonah and ex get back together … either way, the dark-side of Brad will emerge …

The more that person gets posted, the more he/she disturbs the hell out of me for reasons I cannot actually articulate.

Like, I can't help but imagine that person sitting with an office notepad, writing down titles, crossing them out, drawing circles between puns, and constantly asking an empty chair next to him stuff like "so what do you think of this one? Does it capture the essence of the song and the comic well enough?"
