Yeah but Toni and/or Brad know the people they are inviting. They don't know Gunther or most of Luann's friends.

I'm really hoping that the blind guy in Juliet Jones is some kind of criminal mastermind, and the rear end in a top hat 'salesman' is a PI or with Interpol or something.

I love what Ces is doing with both Sally Forth and Judge Parker. Taking Ted's man-child behavior to its realistic endpoint is a bold move, especially in the age of poo poo like Intelligent Life. And it's not just "shrew wife hates on loveable schlub," Sally's written with plenty of her own flaws, and they're working them out the way you'd hope a married couple would be able to. And having Judge Parker characters face Real World Consequences has been absolutely grand. I want him to take over Rex Morgan. wanna see the demonchild nailed to the goddamn wall

No. He just has said on his blog that he's not going to turn the strip into bleak Funkyness but that the characters will get through this.

The people in the Judge Parker comments bitching about how JP is terrible now that things are actually happening are pretty hilarious.

The Classic Dinette Set needs to sort its poo poo out.

Working Daze tries to milk nostalgia, cleavage. Is this a Gilchrist guest strip?

I'd say that's out of left field for Ted, but I've noticed that one of his features is 'He gets coldly perceptive when his back is to the wall'.

I wonder what superhero comics would look like if they were all paced for senior citizens like The Phantom.

We'd have multi-crossover story arcs where the Avengers remember to dress warmly and write home, and 12 volumes of trade paperbacks where...

... geez, I remembered that pretty much all mainstream superheroes have dead parents.

Pretty hosed up when you think about it. :smith:

Not having parents is like the number one element of a power fantasy because it frees you of tons of obligations throughout your life. Can you imagine how much poo poo Batman's parents would give him if they were around? "You spent how much on that stupid car?"

Trust me the whole crew will end up at the wedding I bet. Although I wonder about Jonah, Moreover it will be at the Fuse. I just hope some of our long-lost characters will return. Remember Delta would be on vacation, Rose could come back for Christmas, the rest are around, and Pru basically runs the Fuse. TJ is not going anywhere although some think he should. I think they all will be invited in the end. A great Wedding panel with the whole crowd in the background, including a visit from GE and daughter. My prediction anyway for what it�s worth.

Actually, with that �jokester� fellow being at the table�.. I feel sorry for SHANNON! A little bit of silly banter like he seems to specialize in can be ok�. but man, he is IMO getting into the �obnoxious� category for the length of his efforts.
.
I am wondering what people think about these two �sentences�:
.
�When you plan the seating?�
.
and
.
�As your Bro-in-law?�
.
I mentioned it earlier with the �Bro-in-law� comment, but here it is again�. at least in my fashion of understanding the English language, neither of the above two �sentences� are actual sentences�. and neither makes any sense to me with a QUESTION MARK at the end as the punctuation.
.
I tend to think I am fairly familiar with dialects, and dialectical phrases. I also tend to think I am fairly familiar with current slang�. but, what I am missing here? Are those two sentences above some sort of regional thing about which I am completely clueless about?
.
I would appreciate any explanation or comments about this. At first, I was thinking it may have been a simple mistake when it happened the first time, but this is the second time the same sort of �odd� pseudo-sentence structure shows up in less than a week�. so it seems intentional.
.
It really seems strange and odd to me�. I must be missing something.

Their moon people, who came from the moon. Well technically Honeymoon Tracy is half-moon people on her late mother's side, and the other one was an amnesiac human woman who was altered to resemble a moon woman as part of a storyline from a few years back.
