I'm not sure how Batiuk thinks making the chimpanzee the real murderer is gonna bring Cancerwife-esque pathos to this tacky storyline. Also, Butter was a star from the 40s, so there's some weird time dilation going on for this guy to still be alive today and look like in his 50s.

Working Daze has also used this punchline a bunch of times.


Okay, hold the gently caress up. Assuming the monster's crouching down to peek at the hole, there's no possible way the arm should be angled downwards like that without dislocating its shoulder. Maybe it'd work if the monster has an eye on its torso or something, but that'd be too much creativity for WD.

Yeah, I saw Marvel had reprinted them (currently two Epic Collections) and figured I'd post them (with X-O's permission). I'm not sure if the full series is readily available, but it only ran in 1977, then 1979-1984, so we'll see how it goes. I haven't looked through it, and I'm getting conflicting reviews that some of it may be direct reprints of Dark Horse's reprints that reformatted the stories for comic books, but we'll see, I guess.

Yes. Also it's alive and can talk. And there are robots there that were left behind by some previous visitors, who were probably mermaids. And now the dodos live there. And also Earth governments can't exploit it because it was legally adopted by two of the human characters. Yes, the planet Mars, which is alive, intelligent, and presumably an adult by whatever standards would apply to a living planet, was legally adopted (under American law I guess?) by two humans and this somehow stops any other humans from sending colonists or miners or whatever there, but doesn't stop the dodos from just wandering out of the ship and declaring that they live there now.

The dodos have also just had a child, which is (currently) also a dodo, and was born on Mars, which I guess makes it the first native Martian? They also can't come back to Earth because they've been exposed to the Martian ecosystem and could contaminate the Earth's. The Martian ecosystem isn't native to Mars though, it's some magical genetic combination of the living Mars with Earth plants. And the humans who adopted Mars in order to protect it from other humans did this to it without the planet's consent or any real plan for how it would play out. Also the dodos were originally chickens, but they were magically genetically altered to become dodos because the humans wanted some dodos to study. They have since been turned into numerous other things on a temporary basis, because that just happens to everyone in this comic.

The humans who did all this to Mars were sent there by that data security company that Dethany from On The Fast Rack works at. I think as a promotional stunt? And Dethany from On The Fast Rack is part of their support team on Earth - but it's some time (ten years maybe?) in the future because time moves forward in Safe Havens but remains basically static in Fast Rack. But I think that, like Funky Winkerbean and Crankshaft, they're both set in the present (ie. 2019), despite explicitly taking place decades apart. And the only way you can tell that it's the future is because Dethany dresses a little bit differently.

The plants actually come from the DNA of a child who has plants growing all over them? They combined the child's DNA with the planets DNA (which was extra big because planets are big!). Then they changed some of the giant flytraps to other flowers using magic pollen.

This all makes sense because.

I believe that is correct, but I think the child only has plants growing on him because of some previous magical genetic alteration to combine his DNA with a plant's? Or possibly with the DNA of "plants" in general, because things are only ever as specific as Holbrook needs them to be at the time.

It's written as one word, but it's only got the one T so it's either "fast rack" or "fas track": https://www.comicskingdom.com/on-the-fastrack

Yeah. I suppose the premise is such that there's not many places to go besides introducing a new cute character again and again. It's not exactly a gag-a-day strip, but there's also no real storyline. Just cute pets being cute.

His name is Russ and he's away at summer camp. This was probably only explained once or twice briefly and I had to go back and find it, so it's not a surprise that you don't remember. She probably sent him off for the summer at the insistence of Walter.
