That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

Seeing this arc in a batch makes it look like some kind of cult indoctrination. The constant "correction" to her behavior, constantly telling her this guy she sees as food is such a perfect guy, casually hacking the government database to come up with a whole new identity for her. Or how they're not even asking gopher guy for his opinion on whether he even wants to be around this predator, or how they keep risking his life as a distraction when the skin poachers could kill him for getting in their way. It's so goddamn creepy.

It's extra funny considering that part of why he's moping is because his kid left him alone, and now Wilbur doesn't even show an iota of concern for an actual child. If you just changed the details a little so that the child was on the other side of Wilbur, that would would have totally been sent the kid flying toward the car for a Rex Morgan Special. And Wilbur still wouldn't even think to look back lmao.

In the original the phrase used was "poistuvia tuotteita", which literally means "products that are leaving" or "products that leave". But I think this works too. Kinda.

I wonder what went on in the head of the dude who did Scarlet. It is hilariously awesome, but sometimes it feel like he sat with a dart at a wall-size dictionary and just chucked it.

Ski jumping is one of those sports we as a nation are just hopelessly addicted to. It doesn't hurt that we've traditionally had some excellent jumpers, although don't ask what happened to them afterwards because their lives took some ~turns~.

But it makes sense that Jarla has also tackled the sport.

Do white collar jobs in the US not deduct state and federal income taxes from your paycheques so you don't have to pay all your taxes in one go in April? Because even the shittiest labour jobs I had as a teenager in Canada did that.

Because it sounds like all these dads in tax-related comic strips are just loving stupid when it comes to finances.

The way deductions are done now you need a loving tax pro if you own a house. It’s a loving nightmare compared to the way deductions were done a few years back. So while it’s a popular trope he could have hosed up his claimed withholdings and owe more. This would affect hourly people, those with one more jobs or salary people who earned bonuses.

Curtis's dad confirmed for "guy who undershoots his withholdings because it's 'giving the government an interest-free loan,' owes a giant tax bill because he didn't have adequate withholding, and gets angry about the completely predictable results of his actions"
