I really love the police officers going "man, he even gets tips from criminals! What a guy! I wish we could get information from informants!"

Well that lobotomy one sure is disturbing. People used to literally pay doctors to scramble the brains of their loved ones. It wasn't even that long ago.

Scramble is right. He'd pretty much just jab the ice pick in through the eye socket and jiggle away.

Oh lord are we seriously getting another teacher-student romance-ish storyline out of Mary Worth?

There's a pretty big difference between a teacher-student romance and a romance between two students.

Based on the last plot Mary Worth doesn't seem to realise this, though, so sure.

When they passed out body parts in the comics today, I got Cathy's nose and Dick Tracy's private parts.
"Ripley's" is often weirdly glib about human tragedy in a very disturbing way.

Like what a phenomenally anticlimactic wrap-up of that plotline. I mean I know that's this strip's meat and potatoes, but like, seriously? Several cast members go to fight a wildfire for the sole narrative purpose of .... making their loved ones come together to plan their wedding? That's like, dream-level disparate incongruity. I'm hoping Evans will come through and actually make a real purposeful consequence happen, but then again...

Iris is a student going back to college as an older adult. I believe she also has a regular job but I don't remember what that is.

I think it's one of those sexy moves that get put into comics and movies so you know the guy is assertive and all animalistic and everything, but if a stranger did that to you in real life you'd be seriously creeped.
