You could give it a shot, I don't know if it'd generate enough interest to be worth the trouble. I have thought it'd be fun to revisit some old wild MW storylines and that'd be more fun with others. You could post em two or three at a time to keep up the pace.

Just wanted to comment on this: when I was a kid, I wanted to buy into one of those "sell stuff, get cool prizes" scams that were still being advertised on the back pages of comic books -- but my dad wouldn't let me because, he explained, he'd gotten ripped off as a kid by "Uncle" Harry Bard, who was running the same scam in comic books back in the 1950s. Thanks, Dad.

Couple things:
1. Is that Planck trashing Copper at first after he doubles him off, or is that the crowd riding him?

2. I think after Copper's not owned one or 2 more times, he's either breaking a bat over his head or trashing the dugout/clubhouse with it

3. This one's on you, Copper. You're taught in little league that with less than 2 out, you freeze on a line drive. He broke for second on contact.
(Assuming you're forced to move in the first place - freeze on a line, halfway in the air (as in a fly ball to the outfield), take off on the ground)

That's the crowd. Planck knows that being smug and silent will do more damage than anything else he could say.

I see Mopey Pete still hasn't bought his girlfriend a proper engagement ring. Maybe he would've been able to get one now if he hadn't wasted thousand of dollars meant for the ring on some carnival game trying to win a cheap stuffed toy for his girlfriend. And then had the gall to propose using the stuffed animal as an IOU for the ring.

I wonder what Billie’s going to do. I never know what S1 and S2 on an automatic gearbox do. Does one of them make you go faster than the other? Is it “Sport 1” and “Sport 2”? Does it have something to do with “engine braking”? My first car had a switch you could press on the side of the gearstick and I used to try to have it in each setting 50% of the time because I didn’t know which one was “right”.

I don't like the look of that sign in the last panel...

I think there's some kind of a legislative thing here where putting a "no ads" tag on your front door actually prevents certain types of ads from arriving? I've noted a difference in the amount of paper ads pre- and post-"no ads"-tagging, and some kinda legal precedent is the only reason I can think of why that would matter at all.

The mail carriers deliver the mail that has address. Additionally there's non-targeted mail (local advertisements and ad-funded newspapers) that get delivered to every house that doesn't have an adblock sign.

Works well. The only paper ads I get are car service ads, because they get my address from the registry and there is a way to block those, but I haven't bothered.

That's the joke, yes. The island (? I'd need to read back a couple weeks to be sure) they're on is some Fyre Festival (with that exact reference made at least once) esque scam where they were promised a fancy resort and found jack poo poo. I'd expect most of the jokes to be along these lines until the arc is done.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm reading a different Sally Forth from everyone else, tbh.

We have bulk mailers/non targeted mail in the US as well, but there's no way to block them that I'm aware of. (presumably because the post office wants to keep getting postage money from the people mailing that poo poo)

right? it's all been pretty straightforward. the resort that they hastily and cheaply booked was actually a scam, so they found the first motel they could and rented rooms there, and it's also utterly poo poo because this place isn't really a tourist attraction
