If you accept that there's meat companies that prey on herbivores to sell product, then it follows that there would be seafood companies that hunt whales.
Heck, it would be more moral by the rules of that world.

And it makes sense since whales don't wear clothes, so they are all considered wild and able to be hunted!

Logic, it's not just for Shockwave anymore.

I think Lynn stopped monitoring the strips around the same time she gave up updating them to fit modern times, I would be shocked if she even knew which strip was running today. She just cash check, draw robot.

Huh! Well, I guess if you've been drawing Phantom comics on and off for years, you could lose touch on how much the average reader knows and is interested in old storylines. Maybe there's an intended audience out there and this commentary is really landing with them, but I don't get it at all.

With the fill-in art, it feels like the writer is just killing time until the regular artist recovers from his health issues.

Yeah, but you know, this one time one of them said something and then the other ones disagreed and also one of them suggested formula when she didn't want to do that, so obviously all of them are quacks and Mama knows best.

Isn't this just a phase some babies go through where they have trouble sleeping if they're not in constant movement? It's exhausting for everyone involved, but I've heard enough stories of it being a fairly common thing that going to the doctor doesn't usually resolve because there's not a medical issue causing their discomfort. It's not a bad idea to go to the doctor to double-check if there's something causing it, but you're just yelling at the comic because you think the author is lovely about doctors at this point when she's talking about a different issue here.

Wikipedia says less than 5% of babies with excess fussiness or crying issues have an underlying medical issue that can be pinpointed as a cause, obviously you still want to take your baby in to check if they're in that 5% but a lot of times aren't you just going to have to deal with it or try to figure out if there's something environmental causing it (maybe the sound of the TV?)

EDIT: My point isn't that you shouldn't take your baby to the doctor if they're suddenly starting to fuss, especially if they're getting fussy in a way that had been unusual for them before, since obviously you should. But this is a retrospective, and if the issue didn't end up being medical she might not include that.

"Will said he includes a seagull in 99% of the strips as a nod to the saying that once you move to Rhode Island, you're assigned a seagull to follow you around to look for food."

That is a great explanation.

I think it's pretty funny she's like 'he steps up massively during the day but oh my god, at night...'
