I haven't commented on it because frankly I agree with everyone else, but I absolutely love this one. "Her design choices, although lovely, were confusing." is just a loving great line, although "all the world wanted to protect the baby Jesus." "By sweeping for mines?" is gold too.

Olive & Popeye

You stalked the guy for months but didn't kidnap him but you kidnapped Snozzle? This guy has amazingly specific and restricted resources and power.

And that's not a dramatic twist. That's an expected twist. An absurdly stupid one if you could've popped the bubble at any time with what you hand on hand.

Also the dramatic twist that was being set up was Joe and Poopdeck showing up to save the day! Argh! Man, this just sucks. Why are they even there? Why waste time on their milquetoast joke strips? Why waste time on a villain monologue? My man has been at the Popeye factory for a year and can't figure out how to set stakes better than the cartoons with "Bluto kidnapped Olive."

And getting into the student paper is not going to make or break this kid's career, especially when he's a freshman and will presumably have other opportunities later in college.

We also know that his friend is in the wrong because he wears sunglasses and gives off a vibe other than suburban mundanity.

Having the crew and passengers sit in a gondola that's held up by three small metal poles seems extremely, incredibly dangerous and poorly thought out. Feels like that thing would lead to a mass casualty the first time anyone tried to do something like cross the Atlantic or sail in rough seas. And I say "rough seas" because famously the only thing submarines have over surface vessels (aside from stealthiness) is that rough seas don't hit them as hard -- provided they're deep enough.

I've always taken issue with this comedic device. I'm not morning person myself, but "person is incapable of functioning after getting out of bed" has always been too broad and goofy for me...without the compounding factor of "This person has a severe hangover."

Yeah, I'm not sure what this solves. It's not like being just below the surface really solves the issue of heavy seas. Seems like loading cargo would be way more difficult

There is such a thing as a semi-submersible cargo vessel today, but it's completely different than the design here -- it temporarily submerges its deck to load cargo that's too heavy to be loaded normally.

So does Smiley just not exist in this version or something? I believe we're well past the point in the story where he should have been reintroduced (though this comic also doesn't include the intro showing how the Bones got separated in the first place and just cuts straight to Fone meeting Thorn)

He appears eventually, but isn't anywhere near a main character like in Bone, despite having been around since his childhood Bone comics. Jeff gives a bit of an explainer why he doesn't appear until he does that I'll include when we get there.
