To add to the confusion, we've got a character named Dorothy and a character named Dorrie.  How can anyone think that's good writing?I used to follow Jane's World long before joining SA, and some of these flashbacks are actually straight-up re-runs. I remembered the furry con as it was being posted, and then this monster truck rally was coming back to me like a bad fever dream. I looked it up, and yep, these are strips from 2005 - 2006: http://www.amazon.com/Janes-World-Volume-Paige-Braddock/dp/0976670755/ref=pd_sim_b_2 So it looks like Paige is doing re-runs framed as flashbacks, with occasional bumpers of new material...? EDIT: I don't know.

Eh, I'm an artist and musician, and I changed the spelling of my name to make it a bit more Google-able. That's a good marketing move for that profession, though; can't think why an IT drone would need to. As long as I'm grousing about this terrible comic: I hate hate hate the way Dethany's drawn and portrayed. Rikki Mortis from the recent Dick Tracy story was about 1000% more convincing, attractive, and likeable as a perky goth chick. The way Dethany's drawn always reminds me of this scene from Venture Bros: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcAjNjAybKc That thing is like a pumpkin. Edit: speaking of Rikki, how did she make out in that storyline? Blackjack saved Tracy & his family, Kadaver went into the cement pond... I can't recall what happened to her, though. \/\/\/ Thanks! Yes, Kadaver sent her off to "secure the murder mansion". Godspeed, Rikki, I hope we see you again! JacquelineDempsey fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Jan 20, 2014 |

On a less negative note: please never stop posting "Chief Dharma", Some Guy TT! Even when I miss the nuances of the joke, the artwork is just so amazing. Thanks for all your work translating.

For some reason I'd been assuming that Gunthie's mom was a widow, and thought maybe he was overreacting because "how dare someone try to replace my dad!" or some weird sentiment like that. I went to Wikipedia to find out how/when his dad died, where I learned: "He has a good deal of insecurity about his father deserting the family when Gunther was young, and worried that it was because of him". Sooo... thinks he caused his mom's first husband to leave, but now is actively trying to keep her from finding another love. Gunther, you're a douche.

... the hell? Do they have 3 foot curbs in Canuckistan, or something? Why would you need help getting a shopping cart down a whopping few inches? Edit: was grousing about this strip to my bf, and it turned into an irrationally angry rant about how Lynn's collecting a paycheck doing reruns when there's tons of fresh talent that are struggling to get syndicated. The rant then turned to how Morrie Turner was 90 years old and still coming up with new (and actually funny!) material right up until he died, with an impressive 9 month advance time. My points: 1) I miss Wee Pals.  2) Did we get every Wee Pals posted, up to the last one? I'm struggling to remember.
