This paper has had blank strip titles before, so I assume putting the strip and the title on the page were separate processes.

This is the first time I've seen two strips mixed up for multiple days though. (and when I say mixed up, I mean the MW comic is in the spot RM normally is, not just the titles switched) :iiam:

e: My galaxy brain theory is that the person putting strips to titles wasn't paying attention and went "this one's talking about med school, gotta be the doctor comic. Huh, what's this leftover one? Looks kinda like Mary Worth, sure, good enough, I leave in five minutes."

Even written as an overt jackass Mud is the most interesting character in his strip. It's gonna be wild when he loosens up his suit jacket, reveals he's lost 100 lbs and gone full gigachad.

Lmao at Demons of Baseball. "Hmmm maybe they could've written letters after all." Director Sohn probably thought that you need true hell to get demons though. Can't be too soft on those guys, let their families think they're dead. What a strip. :allears:

TAFKAMMM is an odd direction to go, with the sunglasses, suit and tie. Looks like he's dressed for security work.

Director Sohn still doesn't think he did anything wrong. He did what he needed to in order to win at the baseball.

Dear Mr. Penn --

For many weeks now I have listened to you sing over the radio. Your voice is so much like that of one I loved so dearly, it startles me. His name was Ralph Rankin.

Five years ago he mysteriously disappeared. I have never heard from him since.

Because of your voice being so much like his, for you see, he sang too, I am writing this letter hoping and praying that you might be my Ralph.

Please let me know.

I think you're remembering the Ronnie Rithum story arc in Brenda Starr last thread, where the guy was a successful songwriter cheating on his wife with Brenda. IIRC, it ended with Brenda using the information that the wife actually wrote the songs to blackmail Ronnie into going back to her, which of course is a good and healthy basis for a marriage.

Don't worry, Stamm isn't going that way. It's gonna be a lot weirder.
