pretty good timing on this one since so many games Saturday were doubleheaders due to all the rainstorms on Friday

I hope you're wrong, because I'm really enjoying Goldie getting taken down a peg. The message in the earlier part of the storyline seemed to be a 30s version of the rise-and-grind bullshit, and like it was judging the other kids for having other interests. Having Goldie suffer a major setback without technically having done anything wrong pokes a hole in that. Or at least it makes Goldie seem more like a normal kid since he didn't think to get insurance (assuming anyone would even sell a teenager insurance for a bank/pawn shop run out of his shed).
It's probably my 21st century sensibility that's saying that, the true reality is going to be a 1970s mentality.

Nominally. At least Nemi is made by someone who knows the goth subculture, On the Fastrack isn't.

Correct. They do love and care for their babies, but we should not project human ideas of family onto cats- their kittens are meant to leave once they are old enough to hunt on their own.

Happy Mother's Day, Funky Winkerbean! There have been a lot of mothers begrudgingly portrayed in this strip over the years, including the one who is the secular saint that hangs over everyone like a shroud. So seeing as how we're on a roll here, tell us, strip creator, which one of them will represent the givers of life?

What do you mean, what do I mean?

"Dudes rock"? What the hell are you talking about?

Schultz and Yeates are certainly not Hal Foster, but it really feels like they understand Hal Foster. Classic Val would probably tell this storyline in a more jocular fashion, but the final panel pay off of Morgan scattering the attackers out of pure force of personality is completely in form. The more serious tone also affords Morgan a type of dignity that I (sadly) think Hal would have stuggled to achieve.

I'm strongly impressed by Modern Val.
