Ok, so I know that the joke is "Some people are murdered for what they are born as" but wouldn't companies want to sell the super long extended warranty to prey species, because they are less likely to cash in due to you know being dead? I think it would be better flipped because then it's useless for everyone.

There are definitely some parents who wish they could get away with treating their kids like that in real life. Also I forgot that Holbrook calls piercings ornaments, that's weird.

I know this is some shadowy people orchestrating a plot of some kind (with complications) but I'd love if this was an escalating series of people bungling fixes to other people's screwups. Some fraternity stages the murder for a gag, campus security covers it up, someone else "finds" the killer for their own assumed favors owed, and so on until there's like ten different group[s in the aftermath of a staged hostage situation that vigilante students tried to be heroes in, and Tracy is trying to figure out who to charge with what.

So, in Breaking Cat News...

March has been one heck of a month for me this year. Newspapers are always up and down, but I lost a few papers in the beginning of the year and that�s been a bit stressful. (Some longtime readers have suggested creating a Patreon for years, and I am finally seriously considering it� We shall see! But that is another post altogether�) I�m dealing with some personal stuff, and then on top of all of that a few weeks ago my left hand began giving me trouble. 😬

In 2008, I had a bout of trigger finger. My middle and ring fingers locked up on my left hand. One brutally painful cortisone shot later, it was fixed and I was on my way! �Until a few weeks ago. The pain and tightness returned, and soon enough I could feel the same BB pellet lump on the tendon I�d felt all those years ago.

Thinking the trigger finger had returned, I went to a hand specialist this week. It turns out, it�s not trigger finger and likely never was! It is a reoccurring cyst. The cortisone shot in 2008 was so painful because it likely broke up the original cyst! (Ouch!)

I deal with cysts and benign tumors a fair amount (just lucky, I guess! 😅), and this was actually great news for me. I had been privately concerned that I had a more serious problem with my tendons or some damage in that hand. This is the hand I draw, ink, paint, and edit the comic with, so it used a lot and sorely (literally this month 😅) needed!

On April 11th I�m having minor surgery on that hand to have the cyst removed from the tendon hopefully once and for all. I�ll go under quick and hopefully be home that day! �And then I will need to rest that hand for a while. I am cleared for drawing after two weeks, but for those two weeks this hand will be out of commission.

My editor suggested two weeks of BCN reruns for that time. We�ll see reruns sometime in May or June (since I work a little ahead.)

This part is kind of fun, we have a chance to see some classic BCN newspaper strips again!

Is there a week long broadcast you�d like to see again? Let me know in the comments! I will be trying to be two week long broadcasts this week!

Also I spotted this children's book by Retail's Norm Feuti at the library were I work:

Finally, re: Mary Worth and pet playdates, it's not that weird. My mom's friend has two cats that she left with her son's college friend Now whenever they get the chance they try and bring their cats on little playdates. Okay, typing it does sound kind of weird but I just wanted to share this photo of the four of them.

An almost trivial pursuit, I tell you.

In non-cartoony features, there's also a full review of Sinclair Lewis's Elmer Gantry, and Robert E. Sherwood, the dean of 1920s film reviewers, not knowing what the hell to make of Fritz Lang's new movie.
