Between this lumpy guy and Amphibious Action Fivehead Ken, it's looking like James Allen has been putting real people in the strip so they can fulfill their lifelong dream of hanging out with a muscly outdoorsman cartoon character. Whether he's just drawing his fat dad buddies for laughs or earning some cash on the side from internet perverts remains to be seen.

I think it's fat dad buddies and that fact makes me really happy for some reason

Gasoline alley is just...so lovely. The only reason Nancy might be worse is because it was good and Gilchrist made it bad but I'm pretty sure GA has always just been irredeemably awful.

This makes no goddamn sense and, honestly, I kind of love it for that. I guess I'm requesting a Red and Rover if such a thing is even possible?

I took it to mean that the fact that it's grape has no obvious bearing on the balancing act and both CB and Snoopy are confused that Lucy is acting like it does.

"I thought she meant the kind on four legs! Y'know, the kind that often hunts in the evening. They're not really a threat to adult humans but you should be careful about pet cats or dogs if you live around the four legged kind. That's all I know, I read it in Zoobooks."

Rex I realize you're used to relying on the kindness of strangers but this is one of those situations where maybe you should consider paying someone to inspect a house you're considering purchasing, and thus will not need to worry about whether or not these two old crazy people think it's structurally sound

The Phantom

I like the art in the Phantom a lot

but i also like the goofiness of "man who thinks purple spandex outfit with skulls and a mask isn't subtle instead walks around in his LARP cloak like nobody'll think that looks weird either"
