Anyway, not to make light of alcoholism or anything but could someone really fall off the wagon because of a tiny glass of communion wine?
Yes. It's not so much the amount but the slippery slope of using it to rationalise their ability to drink again. I mean, obviously, they can handle such a tiny glass at a specific time, so maybe they can handle a bigger glass - come to think of it, maybe it doesn't have to be specifically at communion? Eventually they're back to drinking entire bottles again, because they're alcoholics and they're actually just trying to trick themselves by inches back into getting drunk all the time.

My friend has a huge issue with alcohol and I've seen him quit several times, and every time it starts again it's some small drink that he allows himself because he's "beaten" it this time.

 That's somewhat dissembling of her issue with copyright, which is the mess of state and federal laws that made it difficult to determine that she even needed permission for what - outside of the US media industry - should be in the public domain.

 From what I gather it's because posting his political cartoons kept leading to derails about politics simply because he's a goon so people could talk to him directly using the thread.

Even Brooke's characters have no idea what kind of a gun that misshapen lump is supposed to be.
Brooke is just incredible. Here, his character does not what every single person would probably do entirely out of instinct - turn from side-on to face the person with the gun to give them full attention - but instead inexplicably turns his back on the gun then breaks his neck delivering a rejoinder.

Cathy is a classic (in a sense), and is largely credited with bringing 'women's issues' (in the four "guilt groups": Food, Love, Mothers, and Work) to the fore of the comics pages (completely ignoring Juliet Jones' excellence). It ended in 2010, but lives on in reruns.
Literally everytime I see the art in Cathy I hear "chocolate, chocolate, chocolate AAAAK" in my head.

Maybe it's a reference Jenner being part of the Kardashian family? Or did he do anything weird after being separated from Kris? Wikipedia did say he got a surgery to flatten his Adam's apple recently because he "never liked [his] trachea".
It's a reference to a crazy decathlete known only, and likely the only decathlete that Kelly can name, because he's part of the Kardashians.

Only if you wilfully ignore the completely different societal functions those two things serve, one that is dimly graspable by the fact that a library often contains newspapers but a newspaper never contains libraries.

This is dumb, but at least the plot's moving again.
The writer for this is loving awful and so short-sighted. Almost every single strip has featured a stupid FUTURE! deus-ex-machina which means that by the time actual conflict happens the only way to resolve it is another FUTURE! deus-ex-machina. The characters are essentially ungrowable because every single issue they have can be resolved simply by using any of the devices already introduced - the only way to challenge them is to introduce yet more deus-ex-machina that exist only to foil the existing ones, and the plot can never build tension because the audience is just waiting for the next piece of tech to magic them out of the predicament they were just magicked into. Beyond how clusterfucked it is now, it's just going to descend into a constant spiral of needing new things to be introduced to move the plot/action along instead of actions or motives; or the audience constantly questioning why they aren't using their old things.
