This is a pretty effective plot since there's nothing more chilling to the elderly people who still read newspaper comics than the idea of a child who moves out and never visits.

Moz, you are talking to a man who wears his underwear on the outside of his spandex body suit and punches people with a skull ring to curse them eternally. Living his life for vengance was going to happen either way. You're just mad he's not going to be doing it at home.

But the whole "Phantom" concept is based on vengeance. Every Phantom swears on the skull of the man who killed their ancestor and literally the first thing the first phantom did was to hunt down everyone that had wronged him and his family.

This is a very accurate storyline. When my husband was teaching at a community college there was an issue with a different instructor possibly being inappropriate with a student in their office. There was a swath of new rules about doors being open at all time if a student was in your office and not being alone with a student EVERRRRR. It was a nice day so my husband went to eat his lunch outside at a picnic table next to the building. He was by himself. A student of his was walking by and stopped to chat for a few minutes. Later, he got pulled into his department head's office and got badgered about what he was doing alone with the student. Another instructor had snitched on him because they saw him through the large windows on the building facing the pic nic tables. He was pretty pissed.

It couldn't have been this thread, or he'd have done it ages ago, maybe he saw comments on a hosting site or Twitter or something calling him out. The flower part, at least, has come up before. Back when Samantha was just a grad student, she was supposed to euthanize the mice at the end of every school year, but since she can talk to animals, she felt sorry for them and turned them into flowers instead. (It is Old Lore that all animals can talk, and children can understand them, but as they lose their childlike innocence, they lose this ability and forget they ever could. Samantha is surrounded by so much whimsy that she never lost the ability.)

For fucks sake learn to use autopay Ed! Also, if you like Crabgrass now is a good time to join the Patreon. The first of the redrawn strips just went live. quote:As promised, I will begin posting new(ish) strips today, exclusively on Patreon. The "ish" here refers to the fact that the first batch of strips will be from the newspaper sales kit. A sales kit is just a collection of strips that any papers new papers run before printing more current strips. They've basically been selected to best give new readers an idea of the world of Crabgrass. So if you've been reading Crabgrass from the beginning you'll recognize these strips, HOWEVER, most of them have had their art updated to reflect the current art style of the comic. So that's fun! Big Nate Year 1 (Feb 8-9, 1991)   Old School Peanuts (Jun 13, 1953)  Calvin and Hobbes (Nov 21-22, 1990)   Blind Alley  Support Adam's Patreon here. I'll believe adults exist in this world when I see one.

Rootless Market  Night Visitors  This one is based on a bit of Japanese creepypasta - I'll put it behind spoilers for those of you who want the comic to remain impenetrable nonsense. There's this girl who has an old doll called Mary. When he family has to move, she decides to throw it away. On the night they arrive at their new house, she gets a phone call: "This is Mary. I'm at the dump." A while later, a second call: "This is Mary. I'm at the corner." She's getting a bit spooked now, and she gets a third call: "This is Mary. I'm at your front door." She rushes to the front door, to find nobody there. She sighs with relief, deciding it must be somebody's idea of a bad joke. But finally as she's sitting at her desk there's a fourth call: "This is Mary. I'm right behind you!" (Spooky!) Monya the Grey
