I know I say it a lot, but I love how sweet this strip is. Satchel’s wavery speech bubble conveys his upset so well.

Also oof, the date on this one...it’ll be really interesting to see how various strips handle this, then and now.

Iceland would at the time have been forested actually. Icelands deforestation was a result of human activity. Ofcourse it's possible they landed at an area without forest since not the whole thing was forested.

Considering the level of competency involved with Sally's coworkers I am guessing she not only kept getting paid she somehow kept getting paid twice over.

It's also possible that the company hasn't been fully over since the holidays, just that the start date for back in the office was actually the final end date and the decision to end the company came back then.

I think because it's a lesser-known strip and it's goofy style adds to it seeming like a parody, but then you realize it's genuine. I just think it's perfect.

Apparently the Lockhorn's anniversary is supposed to be 9/13.

[url posted:

https://www.newsday.com/lifestyle/retirement/bunny-hoest-give-lockhorns-archive-to-adelphi-1.26273694[/url]]Every year, fans of Leroy and Loretta Lockhorn, characters in the single-panel comic, watch the cartoon couple celebrate their anniversary on Sept. 13.

If the characters with lines written and edited by Bunny Hoest and artwork by John Reiner are fictional, the date is a tribute to the cartoon’s creator, Bill Hoest.

"We celebrate on the 13th. That was the week of the launch," Hoest said in the Lloyd Neck home and studio where she writes and Reiner draws the cartoon. “We celebrate Leroy’s birthday on Feb 7, Bill’s birthday. And my birthday is Nov. 12, which is Loretta’s birthday.”

Although the Lockhorns are fictional characters, they have been a reality for readers since 1968, when the comic debuted in Newsday on Sept. 9 as the “The Lockhorns of Levittown.”
OTOH I support the motion to make it 9/11 now, because that's funnier.

See, it's stuff like this where while I think it might just be "we will be closing our doors later on, but normal until then", but also the company did dissolve months ago and they just kept paying her some how.

I think in general Sally Forth's handled it the absolute best. It's been a recurring beat, it had a direct effect on all its characters (even secondary, like how Nona basically stopped appearing beyond occasional check ins because she just couldn't hang out with them), it really gets across the consistent stressors and changes from quarantine and how even post-vaccination it's still all hosed.

Like it's such a low hurtle to leap, I realize. Nancy's about the only one I'd put in its sphere and that one obviously took a more lighthearted approach and has softly jsut decided to be "its done now" without lingering on it (which, honestly, fair enough not every strip needs to constantly be 1:1 with everything). Everyone else ranges from a low "hrrrrrgghhhhh" to "gently caress YOU". But it's nice SF stuck with it this entire time in the way they did.
