A reminder that there was a very brief window in the early 90’s where flip-up sunglasses were kind of cool.

It's weird that they gave Kit a beard but kept him short. With the Phantom leaning over him like that it makes him look five foot even.

While the thread seems to be erring on the side of his being dangerous all along, I'm not actually seeing very much in the text to support this.

I don't think he's dangerous but I think it's very obvious somebody could not want to spend their life with him.


Last two strips have been pretty wild with the camper and Andy art. I'm impressed that even with a more complex art style that Jules is dramatically lazier or at least on par with scribble doodler artists in the funny pages.

Oh, and I'm not surprised or impressed that she went for the laziest, stupidest resolution possible again. That's how you set up and resolve mysteries. You get one going and then you change scenes and instantly solve it, just like the last two dogshit bad set ups.

Some of it looks like clip art -- as has been pointed out, the Phantom and Kit look out of scale with each other.

Go ahead. Send him to school with welts all over his face. The first teacher who sees him will ask what happened to him and he will say some variation of "My dad kept hitting me with a pickleball." I'm sure it will go fantastic.

Lynn projecting her lovely motherhood aside, John's right. There's nothing finer when you're a broke college student than getting a sudden "you can financially breathe for a couple weeks" cheque in the mail from people who love you.

Unfortunately for my interpretation of this strip, Lynn Johnston hates her family, so it can't be that.

Just showed up in the background, early on I think. When Bad Machinery was being posted the first time around I remember there were some questions and we got a shrug and "well, it's normal for Tackleford."

At least when the Dick Tracy team did it they made it an obvious stand-in rather than actually using a real person's name.

The liability line, the daughter being able to find him at all, and her surprise at his initial hostile reaction all seem to point to her actually having had an overall positive opinion of him except when it comes to this one specific issue.
I don't know about dangerous but it definitely seemed like he'd always been an arsehole and the mother just didn't want anything more to do with him. And I didn't get the impression that the daughter knew anything about him at all. The fact that she found him just as he moved into a new address is weird but might just be an oversight, because otherwise she could just have googled him to find out roughly where he lived and then looked him up in the phone book. She seemed surprised that he'd been in the military, which is something her mother definitely knew.

The robot student came from the wish granting pencil / wendingo story. One of the background characters gets their hands on it and shows up the next day with a robot friend.
