This is rarely a topical strip! Last weekend there was a minor national scandal when it was SHOCKINGLY revealed that for decades the sound effects in cross country ski races on TV had been added to the broadcasts by foley artists, who had "ski swish", "crowd cheer", "cowbell" and other such samples on their MIDI keyboards and would just press keys to dub in the sounds.

No. Seriously:

For some reason I find this hilarious, even though in hindsight it should have been obvious that it would be nearly impossible to get authentic audio for an event like that. :allears:

Props to the foley artists though, I never would have noticed there was anything artificial about the sound in that first clip.

has anyone in Kevin and Kell not, you know, gotten married and had kids/adopted kids? like is it possible to be single and not be a parent?

The cat married her job but then later she fell in love with a mouse or something?

I would also love to know the answer to this, but also, has a gay courtship ever been drawn out like this? The rhino and horse were already together when they were introduced, whatsername's rabbit dads have always acted as one person, and Samantha's time daughter had some sort of weird retroactive time courtship with her girlfriend that happened without the two of them actually meeting.

Meanwhile, the dodos do sitcom couple gags despite being asexually-reproducing shapeshifting cyborgs.

Sal, since she decided to move to the home she has been telling you in a very straightforward and unambiguous manner that she would prefer to be asked about her wishes instead of being told what they are. At this point I'm having a hard time mustering sympathy, even if she is a bitch about it.

Okay, I guess now I have to check the Sunday strip tomorrow in case they do a big skydiving panel or something.

I've felt like Gil has been strangely chill about this whole affair thing so far. (You had your wife's mistress over for Thanksgiving dinner? Really?) I like today's, though.

Fun fact: Johnston lived/lives in Corbeil, just outside my hometown of North Bay, Ontario (I actually met her briefly once when I was a teen). "Lilliput Books" is an homage to the late Gulliver's Books on Main Street in North Bay.

If you were enjoying the cute, funny pig jokes the last couple of days, I strongly recommend you skip straight to November 27.

Anyway, Archie, Jughead, and Betty solve the problem of getting rid of all the pigs in Riverdale in 24 hours by taking them to a very nice farm just out of town where they'll live their best lives possible.

As seen in panel 4, one of the stranger effects of a total eclipse is that at the moment of totality, an eclair with a bite taken out of the middle appears in front of your face. Even today, scientists are unsure what causes this.
