Even though she's an awful person I do feel the strip shaming her for getting older and putting on some weight doesn't really work with modern sensibilities.

Even at my worst as a teenager I had the self control to wait until we were out of the goddamn store before opening up the snacks. Tearing them open at the register is tacky.

When I worked at Kmart uh a long time ago, I'd see people take poo poo off the shelf, open and start eating while doing their shopping. They'd usually give you the empty bag to ring up and throw out. Usually.

Are we supposed to be entertained by his jackassery...? I just find myself hoping he shuffles off the mortal coil sooner rather than later, and ideally in painful but ultimately rapid fashion.

I dig the angled flight deck. Gives it that lovely "supercarrier" aesthetic. (Even if it does angle the wrong way.)

Cul de Sac

FoxTrot Classix

I thought to myself "Were the Backstreet Boys even active at that time? Millennium hit when I was in high school, but I don't remember anything after that..." A quick visit to Wikipedia tells me their fourth album, Black & Blue, had released in 2000 and the supporting tour had run most of 2001, but 2002 had been a completely quiet year for them as they were involved in a contract dispute/lawsuit with their label.

Ah well, at least there's Martan the Marvel Man. That one's less peculiar than Dr. Hormone, but it's almost as bonkers. (If you asked me to define how exactly I'm using those adjectives I couldn't tell you, but I hope my meaning comes across.)

Flash Gordon

Usually when you get the "Hero has to fight for his life for the entertainment of a bunch of rich pricks" trope they make his opponent a murderous rear end in a top hat who loves this poo poo so you don't feel bad when the hero kills him. I'm glad Flash isn't taking that route. In one panel you get that he's doing this to survive like everyone else. It's good.
