The monks goes to the library and pulls out a few volumes of their chronicles looking for a reference to this strangely familiar name. He's about to give up when he decides to check one more, and his eyes widen in sudden realization. He drops the volume and hurries back towards the door. We see him running away as a figure in the background while the book is in the foreground, showing us clearly what the monk read that triggered his memory. There on the page are just five words, but they told him everything he needed to know.

When you kidnap a federal agent, you want to make sure you remove the blindfold when new people help you with your kidnapping. Also, be sure you use their real names.

Olive oil tasting? Like you drink a glass of loving olive oil like it's a fine wine?

As others said, it's likely dipping bread. However, there's a local olive oil store here and they'll have you taste it by pouring some into a tiny plastic shot glass or whatever and have you just down it. So maybe!

I don't know why today's Blondie has gotten any emotion out of me but it did. Probably because I was expecting a joke about technology and old people but then the punchline was... alliteration? Quite a comedic journey.

This is making me crazy. You are not allowed to go to the Northwest Hawaiian Islands, dammit! They're closed to everyone but researchers, and they have to file action plans and beg permission and bring all new equipment still in the original packaging for fear some new species will be introduced and decimate the ecosystem. It's a huge pain in the rear end to be allowed in because these islands are delicate and full of critically endangered plants and animals. You can't charter a helicopter to visit them.

You got a phone call from some idiot crashed on Nihoa? Send the Coast Guard to pick her up, that's their job. She's probably going to get arrested for trespassing or something too, because you are not allowed to go to the Northwest Hawaiian Islands, dammit! You don't want to know her butt anymore.

Maybe because she's doing something nice for her husband, not to make a lazy pop culture reference, or mutter a surreptitious complaint, but just because she likes doing nice things for the person she's decided to spend her life with?

...Oh god I can't tell if I thought that because the thread has so many terrible role models or if my love life has really been bad enough that this seems unusual. Perhaps that's how I get joy out of posting It's All Right Chief Dharma.



I've decided to start translating the titles, too, since even in paint it's not that hard. The poetic format of today's comic really called attention to it.
