I'd say Tiff and Bets are idiots but MBAs reaching the conclusion that their business will infinitely grow at all times seems pretty on brand for capitalism. :v:

They're idiots for thinking what they do is worth $500 and that college students have that freely on hand, lol.

Can't remember if this is an attitude that ever appears directly in the strip or if it's just the strip's fans being weirdos, but either way it's gross.

My recollection is that it was the fans (or at least a vocal segment of them) who decided that April was an evil child who'd murdered poor Farley and must never, ever be forgiven.

TBF to Luann the only mistake that I see in their plan is that they should be charging 50,000 and targeting VC failsons with it instead of 500 and targeting college students. Nothing else needs to be changed. They can just call it brA(i)ndle.

You know, in a way, FG does the same kind of "I never would have seen that coming" swerves as Invisible Scarlet O'Neil, but completely straight-faced and it usually works. A sinister plot about ice fishing rights? Never would have seen that coming but I'm on board.

If he's smart why don't they rely on him doing tricks and stuff instead of acting ferocious?

Tiggum posted:

Actively holding a gun aimed at him and firing would probably be more difficult than to just push the wagon towards a deep pond. Even if they know the outcome will be the same it doesn't feel the same. Shooting would probably be more "humane", if that word could even apply in any way.

Didn't the strip the other day say that the rain makes the river flow faster? Just seems like this is going to end with both the kid and Farley drowning. Or the puppy jumps in to add to the pile and everyone dies. Lynn's artstyle doesn't have much in the way of a sense of motion, either, so the way each panel is slooooooowly displaying each aspect of this event makes it come across as hamfisted more than anything.

Also good lord, the dog looks unsettling with the typical FOOB Face of round, lifeless eyes and triangular, open mouth. I know it's not the intent, but it makes it seem like FOOB mom possessed poor Farley.

This is giving me such King of Dragon Pass vibes, it's great! Clearly, the answer is to compose a poem that shames Lonzich for being a filthy ice plot buyer.

Do they give out syllabuses (syllabusi?) in middle school? I don't think I ever saw one until college.
This is unlikely to ever come up again in your life, but syllabuses and syllabi are both acceptable (but not syllabusi).

Also I'm joining the chorus in praising Crabgrass and Invisible Scarlett O'Neill.

And Flash Gordon continues to be a master class in comic strip storytelling.
