That's the teen who used to look like an old lady as a kid, right?

What kind of a timeframe has Mämmilä happened over at this point, by the way? 10 years? 15?

It feels more natural if you imagine that all of the supporting characters (and possibly the writer) have raging cocaine habits.

Again a very likpatous story

We already saw a snowman throw a snowball in a previous comic though so the dog is right and this snowman is just being an rear end in a top hat to its dog for no reason.

Sarah (A Little Girl) Imagines Rex Morgan MD (Her Father) as an Imaginary Detective in Her Imagination Where She Imagines this Shootout with Imaginary Guns



I can see why one might be confused if they just stumbled across this so it needs to be explained: This is all imaginary! Rex's little girl is imagining this! Those are imaginary guns! None of it is real, it's imagination!

Despite it all being in Sara's imagination, Beatty still can't come up with a way for Rex to take down the criminal non-lethally. Just straight up a cop shooting down the criminal with their invisible gun.

So instead of telling Axa to get out of there and save herself, Dirk shouts at her to hurry up and save him. :laffo: Why is Axa even trying so hard to save him, again?

Although he was interested in classifying the plant via its privates, he didn't burst into poetic rhapsody about flowers screwing*, so it remains ambiguous.


*The flowers' leaves. . . serve as bridal beds which the Creator has so gloriously arranged, adorned with such noble bed curtains, and perfumed with so many soft scents that the bridegroom with his bride might there celebrate their nuptials with so much the greater solemnity. . .

A good comic would go: "I'm sorry, Dustin, but all things considered, this is the only possible solution. I know it's bothersome and a violation of your privacy, but it can't be helped."

This one instead is basically: "gently caress you lol"
