I just learned yesterday that there's actually already a goon service for uploading images, lpix.org, which even gatekeeps by requesting proof of Something Awful credentials. Unfortunately, it appears to be missing the feature to upload multiple images at once, without which it is quite tedious for me to post comics. Sigh.
There are ShareX and Rightload plugins for uploading multiple images, but LPix is meant for Let's Play content (especially screenshot LPs) and while there is no official rule against it, uploading huge amounts of non-LP content to LPix is generally discouraged.

Lottie has been a proud puffer exponent since the very start of Bad Machinery and that is not going to change. Her sister Sarah’s career in fashion has, I think, been tangentially mentioned a number of times, but don’t ask me where because I don’t remember. I do recall that “in fashion” was a euphemism for “in prison” in one of the later Bad Machinery stories… but Sarah is definitely not in prison.

Note the presence of the Mini-Grote/Chibi-Lottie in the first panel. Commentators on the Bad Machinery website have been speculating on what it's presence means, if anything.

For the purpose of keeping America out of the war in Europe (and a reference in a pre-Pearl Harbor American newspaper with the European war on the front page every day), cash-and-carry was a government policy allowing Allied nations to purchase arms as long as they paid the full amount in cash and used their own ships to transport them. So basically the same thing it means in retail: no credit, no delivery.

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

First, I un-ironically laughed at that Rex Morgan strip. Buck's expression is what sold it for me.

Second, I've been meaning to post this tweet from Nickolej Villiger that popped up in my twitter feed a few days ago. I've posted it as an image in case Twitter implodes tonight.

I know the answer to any Mark Trail writing question is "Jules is lazy/incompetent" but... why? Why has Cherry said too much? In fact if you ask me Cherry clearly hasn't said enough since ol' Honest there owes everybody vet bills and should be made to, by legal force, stop using his homemade acid mix. OK, maybe Cherry said too much because Caroline is gonna go throw a bottle of that stuff at Violet but eh, Cherry still isn't an accomplice in that case.

This strip flows so much better and makes much more sense if you assume Cherry and Mark are genuinely dim.
