The recurring gag of Cooper having a slightly-nerdy Halloween costume that no one else in the store gets is such a good one, and one I relate to from my time working big-box retail. ("I'm THE DUDE! I... abide! Why has no one in this Walmart seen The Big Lebowski?!") EDIT: Man, what a terrible first post. Have some Mutts:

Medenmath posted:Vintage Valiant (Jun. 23, 1946) I like how Brandel said he'll stand guard while Aleta bathes, and then he just let a bear through. Mikl posted:Final appearance: Vin Vulpen. I find the Kindle-Dewclaw family line similar to the Deegans where the only ones that matter are the various relatives and hanger-ons they've got. Vin's got a solid tie to the family, being Rudy's half-brother, so it's really bizarre that he just disappeared forever. No redemption arc or a reveal of him hooking up with someone for a pregnancy storyline. In a way, I guess being memory-holed is better than being dragged back just to get shat on. Anyway, enjoy your vacation! LazyQ posted:Mämmilä (August 19, 1995) Hmmm, yes, clearly what Mämmilä needed was more appearances by its worst character.

 Jesus, we get enough preaching from the rest of the cast, lighten up. Shannon wants to play dress up because little kids like to play dress up and it's been starting so young ever since little kids have existed. Source: I am old and when I was a kid I played dress up. I would even *GASP* put on makeup!!! Like a fallen woman!!!!! Also Shannon has two mouths, it seems.

I don't think Lucy's deliberately loving with CB here. She's a bit contrarian and self-centered while still in her toddler stage, but she's not malicious yet.

So she's extremely concerned about the downfall of society due to cosmetics, but teaching this child to respect other people's personal property and not take it without asking? Nah. Go ahead, kid. I'm sure TJ won't mind you wasting all his expensive stuff. OK, so Mike is obviously far worse, but if Betty's so keen to meet him why doesn't she just propose a time and place? And if he still won't go for it, move on.

I can’t help but love it. I also posted that cinema strip a few weeks back. It still makes me laugh in how random and pointless it is. “GIANT MONKEY” *kiss*

Steeple: Clotted Crime Part 1 - Brassic John Allison's Patreon John Allison's Gumroad store Steeple website John Allison posted:In Christmas With Clovis we established that Pixy Garage is somewhere you should never visit. The arcade game that the proprietor (probably called “Les”) is leaning against is called Space Junk (1986) and its attract mode features a garbled digitised voice saying “WATCH WHO YOU’RE CALLING SPACE JUNK, METEOR MOUTH” every 90 seconds. Also I didn't think you had to worry about handguns in the UK, but according to the comments for today's comic it's not uncommon to be shot in England, as evidenced in the documentary series Midsomer Murders. Then again I used to think something similar about Canada until I watched Trailer Park Boys

I love the slack-shouldered, stooped posture. Great visual storytelling in just a single frame. (Aleta looks like every character in Intelligent Life, but for a reason.) Julet Esqu posted:
