My interpretation of the previous Mr. Tweedy was that he'd mistaken the trash-can for the stew-pot, but the can liner explanation makes sense.

If he's never heard of Casablanca, his problem is not that he is a callow youth. "I've never seen it," is way more plausible. But either way, it shouldn't be a sign of a doomed relationship so much as a sign of future movie nights to be enjoyed together.

The Amazing Spider-Man


It always amazes me when people in superhero universes have any hesitation whatsoever in believing that weird poo poo is going on. In our universe, it makes a lot of sense to persist in believing that this is somebody's weirdo garbage child in an incredibly lifelike raccoon costume rather than a space alien or a hosed up actual raccoon. But this is a universe with gods and talking rock dudes and wizards and molemen and Atlantis and Iron Jonah and poo poo like that. He should have pegged Rocket as Not Human the second he walked in the door with the Parkers.

Yeah, that's something that really annoys me in how people write. I see it less nowadays, but people would just extend the last letter and not the vowel sound. Awful.

More than that though, I hate how as of this year all the text is bold. It's somehow harder to read. The negative space in letters that define how they look has been shrunk, like the upper triangle in A is no more than a pixel.

Don't even get me started on the actual content of the strip.

My grandmother (who died at age 89 in 1981) did this. She would cook the slivers in a small pot on the stove, wait for it to cool, and cut it into small bars. She raised nine children through the Depression.

My nana and pop pop had some rug for the porch that got torn and my pop pop stitched it together with wire (for stability) and it looked like a Frankenstein and my nana made him keep it downstairs because it looked so horrible BUT IT STILL HAD USE

he also had a work table that was an old counter top (like someone was remodeling their ktichen and he probably took it from the roadside) on top of, iirc, a metal canister and a stool

I do this with so much small stuff I can't even think of specific examples because i just naturally will do it

Casablanca isn't on Netflix. Clearly this current Mary Worth development is actually a subtle commentary on the woefully inadequate selection of classic catalog offerings on legal streaming services. Or a roundabout ad for Filmstruck. One of those.

I'm left handed and if I was going to use a safety pin to pin something to my chest, I'd pull out my shirt with my right hand and hold the pin in my left and poke it through my shirt - leaving the pin looking exactly like it did on the corpse.

Also, who safety pins their suicide note to themselves?

Yes. You'll note that the victim was not left-handed.

Serves me right for not reading close enough - or spotting the pen in the second panel.

I'm just so used to any mystery where handedness is an issue to rely on someone being left handed. In fact, I think this is the first one I've ever seen where everyone was right handed.

On an unrelated note, could someone help with the timeline of Funky Winkerbean and Crankshaft? They take place in the same universe but Crankshaft takes place today while FW takes place ten years from now? Do I have that right? Or does Crankshaft take place ten years ago while FW takes place today? It's just all so stupid.
