What did you expect, Kadaver? It's not like Tracy has ever paid any attention to basic gun safety.



Judge Parker

The Volkswagen people must not have paid up, so the Judge tries another product placement angle.



9 Chickweed Lane

At last, we get to see the story ideas that were too terrible to make the cut during the original run.


Oh, there has been a huge mix-up. Those tags belong to Billy from the 'Family Circus'.

Today's comic must be self-referential. It's features incomprehensible writing that is stuck in the 1930's.

Once again, Brooke's comics are greatly improved by having a main character commit suicide.

This, of course, is Brooke's subtle way of telling us that Juliet can't sit down because she's sore from taking it up the dumper.

What is going on here?

Bill O'Malley has a head wound and he hallucinates that he is in the movie 'It Happened One Night'. He pictures himself and other people in this story as characters in this movie because it gives Brooke a chance to re-do this scene again:

Here is the conclusion to the Big Time story.

Spider-Man (Dec. 21 - 31, 2008)







The headline that was printed the next day was 'Webbed menace damages train station clock".






That big change was that the Spidey storyline was reset back to when Peter was in college. It proved to be so popular that it was dropped after five months and explained away as being a dream
