It's hard to go up against Foster but modern Val is really knocking it out of the park with this fun torch-lit night battle.

I thought we were getting a hat ladys strip from the first two panels and I am extremely disappointed

I wanna give credit to Heart for telling about four good jokes in the last week. This is a dramatic improvement over the often zero and it it keeps it up it'll be a pretty good strip.

And I for one find this wonderful cartoony man busting a choir groove to be outstanding. :allears:

I know it's cartoon-land and the class probably isn't realistic at all, but there's no way they just hand everyone a 15-foot pole the first day and let them rip. When I was in undergrad, one of my friends got really excited that he could sign up for fencing. He showed up to the first day of class and was asked to do a 20 minute cardio warm up before learning some basic, swordless drills. He dropped the class on the spot.

This is why I make sure that every grappling class that I teach includes at least one cool fun technique, whether a basic throw or a simple submission (and at least one fundamental drill).

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.

And they find one corpse.

I mean, the Phantom seems like a bright guy in the deductive reasoning department. Fairly broad coincidence, ain’t it?

Bonus news story!



I looked into this and it got even weirder: along with being immortal, Hiram BeBee also claimed that he was really Harry Longabaugh, aka the Sundance Kid, who had somehow survived the fatal shootout in Bolivia in 1908. In any case, his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment, and he died in prison in 1955, which must have come as quite a surprise.

A rabbit has a blind spot right in front of its nose. This is why it's best to approach rabbits from the side if you're trying to pick them up.
