Same on "tenny shoes" as a kid, which is funny since I hadn't thought about that in a long time. My parents are boomers and they (and I) grew up on the Gulf Coast, which tracks with what I know about Jimmy Johnson.

Squabb was in on the movie studio’s whole production, missing baby and all. It was fraud.

I really love these. That feeling of “everybody knows we like each other, including us, but GOD FORBID we ever say it out loud to each other” is so true and so high school.

Also TOOLS TOOLS TOOLS. I think this might be the first dick joke I ever “got” without someone explaining it to me.

It was a reward for finding the baby's parents, right? And he did. The whole thing was a bizarre setup, but it's not like he tricked them into offering the reward. He just happened to be extremely well placed to collect on it.

Except that they weren't the parents, because the adoption hadn't gone through all the way.

If someone arranges an elaborate scenario where there is a “lost baby” and then collects reward money from their rival who is earnestly trying to find the baby’s parents, I think that’s fraud. It’s at the very least bad publicity.

The comic has been skipping a lot of political shenanigans. Currently the lower classes have been trying to strip the power from the aristocracy.

Meanwhile the aristocracy is trying to return the power to the king, because they see it as a preferable option compared to a republic. Bernhard Bertelsköld has been shown to sabotaging this attempt by riling up the other classes, but AFAIK his motivations have not been explained.

Well, it appears someone at the Trib hosed up -- the strip that ran on 11/24/46 was actually supposed to run the next Sunday, and Messick has another week of wrap-up to do on the Baby Hoo story. So let's see if it answers people's questions.

It's seriously baffling. It's happened several times already. He loving knows the portions at fine dining, high class restaurants won't fill him up. I just have to ask: my dude, have you ever heard of "pregaming"? Just eat a sandwich or something beforehand, so you'll be able to enjoy the food while still being full at the end of the night.

Alternately, he could try not being a whiny entitled rear end in a top hat for one night in his life.

Dustin has been running for 11 years and I don't think there has been meaningful character growth during that time. You're not supposed to expect these characters to have depth. They exist only to deliver seven mediocre gags/week.

One of the things that bugs me the most about Dustin - among many things that bug me about Dustin - is how they seem to represent the family as a regular everyday middle class family when in reality he's a rich loving lawyer and she's a quasi-celebrity radio host, meaning that they're multimillionare bourgeois shitbirds.

The way the Trails don't deny anything and instead outright tell their enemies what they've done is really baffling. I guess it's because the setting, stakes and the enemies are all grounded in reality which makes it weird when Mark and Cherry get caught but still manage to get away scot-free (see: the whole speedboat chase scene).
I think the general vibe I've gotten is that both Mark and Cherry share common traits of being chaotic and capable of great destruction while being lousy and/or remorseful at consistent, organized deception.
