I'm keeping these here for posterity to refer back to next time someone argues somehow that FOOB's strong point is its "creative onomatopoeia"

Johnston seems to save the creative onomatopoeia for the disgusting sounds. Which is...an odd distinction to make, now that we've discussed it so often.


I can't tell whether the contradictory expression is because this is clipart or because Travis is just terminal sadbrains even when he's having a good time.

I feel bad taking Wilbur's side but drat girl does he have a minimum heartbreak period or something. Actually if Wilbur's dumbass doesn't mistreat his dog I'll think a lot better of him overall. This post made by Dog Krew.

That's not taking Wilbur's side, it's a reaction to the author's strawman of 'women amirite' situation here.

Contrived bullshit as it's been for quite a while now.

Like the problem in Mary Worth isn't that Wilbur doesn't know how to take care of the dog. The problem is that Wilbur's a volatile alcoholic who has threatened to throttle an innocent animal if he doesn't get his way. How did the writer forget this?

If it had been Dustin who had set up the 'Yard Sale' sign, I'd bet Ed would have rolled his eyes and done his usual "kids today are so lazy" routine. It's OK when he does it, of course.

Dustin has a separate artist and writer, both are political cartoonists and iirc the writer is the ultra right-wing douchebag and the artist is moderate-to-left-ish?

but you're right, both of them together make a bad comic that nobody should expect anything from.

Setting up a YARD SALE sign that just points people into your cluttered garage is next level even. No one is going to go rooting around for poo poo, Ed, you dumb bastard.

Wilbur will be sipping a cognac by a hearthfire as Carol looks lovingly on him, a silhouette of the dogs doing it in the foreground as Wilbur looks at the reader and winks knowingly.

Meanwhile, Estelle sits in a dark, cold kitchen with Libby in her lap, tears spilling down her cheeks as she eats her microwaved meal of mac and cat hair.

The dogs will also be eating salmon!

I hope Estelle remembers that he responded to their breakup by singing loving Adele and doesn't fall for his bullshit again

I'd like to go back and read through that again but it's been like two years since the SGR website has actually been online and at this point I think he's keeping it "under reconstruction" forever intentionally so he doesn't have to go back and look at his old comics.
