Meanwhile Tik Tok is going wild over the Orange Peel Test*. I guess Fritzi doesn't really love Nancy.

* You ask your significant other to peel an orange for you (an easy task that either one of you could do no problem) and if he refuses, you are in a bad relationship

That�s so yesterday. Now you �accidentally� drip ketchup on the counter or floor and ask your SO to clean it up.

A test I would fail at, apparently. You made the mess, you clean it up.

I'm noticing a lot of these 'tests' are "Can you make your alleged significant other do menial poo poo that's beneath you, yes/no"

Your relationship is already going down the drain if anyone involved is doing "tests" like this tbh. But "you can just break up with someone, you don't need sufficient evidence for a court of law" doesn't get ~engagement~.

Mark Trail

One of the many topics my former boss used to like to hold court on was the matter of wild horses and how we don't eat them anymore. Like, everything used to be fine, and then THOSE drat LIBERALS decided to make slaughtering horses for meat illegal in the US, even though it's good meat and even THE drat FRENCH are sensible enough to eat it. But nooooo, THOSE drat LIBERALS think horsies are soooo cute so we can't eat them and now the wild horse population is out of control and there's a bunch of sick and deformed wild horses because they're malnourished and whatnot.

Anyway, I don't really have an opinion on the matter since I don't know anymore about it than what he said and a large percentage of what he ever said was bullshit anyway. I'm just glad I don't have to hear him bloviate anymore and I wonder if Mark Trail is going to come down on the side of the horse murdering Frenchmen or the horse torturing libs.

Dang, not even, "Oops, I accidentally spilled some ketchup. Could you wipe it up for me tee hee?" Just straight up opening the bottle and squeezing it out on the counter right in front of them. Sorry, Gen Z. I was willing to peel your orange, but I don't love you enough to wipe up your ketchup crimes.

In 2005, Britain went to the polls. This was not just a case of us copying America, we vote all the time here!

Democracy is our lifeblood, just so long as it isn't raining or we forgot to go to the polling station or we used our polling card to scrape bird poo off the car. Sometimes democracy is not so easy - just ask the Cubans!

Working as I was in the mayor's office, it was deeply troubling to be challenged by local inventor Tim Jones for control of the city. Tim and I go way back, and now it was incumbent upon me to dash his dreams. As mayor's assistant, I did my very best. Some might say I got carried away in the process, but politics is a passionate thing.

I would like to take a moment to say a few words about Tackleford's major, Mr James Mayor. No one has ever cared quite so much about coming to work and sitting in an office as that man. I was proud to work for his office.

Unfortunately prior to this campaign, we had weather a few small problems (documented in Scary Go Round books 2 & 3).

Yes, arguably inviting killer robots to visit our city was maverick policy-making. You can't always get things right.

Yes, perhaps presiding over city-wide riots concerning a small bald child did not cover us in glory. I would however point to my redesign of the Tackleford Metropolitan Borough Council logo to include a cheeky cat. I think touches like that make everyone's life a little better!

ADDENDUM: The exciting conclusion of this story features my friend Natalie Durand, who was blown up by an itinerant orangutan. I don't know if you get to vote in the afterlife, where God is in charge.

APOLOGIA: Deepest apologies to Jeremy Vines, who no longer presents "The Politics Show" after I accidentally hit him in the ear with my elbow.

I kind of like the idea of a bad guy who does things that kind of work out well for everyone. Not like they have a change of heart and do the right thing in the end or anything, just whenever they attempt a scheme it works but in the best possible way for everyone.

Doomykins: Jun 28, 2008; Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?

The author struggles to keep a rectangle on model between panels so Mark Trail being stupid as a strip and a person is just on brand at this point.

On top of all the other reasons the current Phantom story sucks it sure is creepy and stupid and meta that everybody can read Kit's future for him.

Uhhh... positivity... I like the conga line of near deaths Corto Maltese goes through. Crazy strip in an entertaining way. And that Blueberry story ruled, Crowe is a hell of a guy, fantastic art piece at the end there.
