I just skimmed the post histories of a few regular posters in the last thread to see if I could find any good edits. So, sorry to anyone who feels left out, it wasn't intentional. I just couldn't go through the entire thread.

I bookmarked a large collection of SA comic edits over on Imgur that someone had put up some time ago: http://imgur.com/a/YGxoy

His eye twitches, involuntarily.

One of the great understatements in comic history.

I actually hope that Crankshaft ends here with this final fiasco in his life.

Is this the beginning of the end of Peanuts as a good comic, the point where Snoopy becomes self-aware and talks?

I thought that the art in this looked familiar, I just realized that it's by Roy Crane, who gave us "Buz Sawyer" that we saw last year or so.

Fritzi Ritz

And now, a musical interlude...

From wikipedia: "The lyrics are brief and are dominated by the repetition of the title words and the nonsense refrain, "floy-doy, floy-doy, floy-doy". The original lyric, recorded in January 1938, was "flat foot floozie with a floy floy"; Vocalion, however, objected to the word "floozie",[3] meaning a sexually promiscuous woman, or a prostitute. The second recording in February changed the word to "floogie". In the second part of the title phrase, "floy floy" was slang for a venereal disease, but the term was not widely known and failed to catch the attention of censors.[8] It was regarded as nonsense and came to have positive connotations as a consequence of the song.[9]"

A) he doesn't have to, because his secretaries did it "Just cause."

B) If you take this strip as an evil child using mind control to slowly rule the world, but with the slowest, shittiest plan ever, and Rex is the only person that can sort of fight it, it's almost fascinating. Almost.

C) It's not Pluggers.

Pluggers would have all the necessary information written on cocktail napkins and scrap pieces of paper, all tucked in the back of a drawer.

As a nuclear explosion silhouettes the city, Web has drinks with Mr Briscoe.

I still think that Frost is going to throw a beatdown on Web right in front of the smirking client, who was in it from the beginning.

I see it a lot in comic strips but I don't think I've ever seen anyone in real life hold a sandwich that way.

Also, I hope DaVinci inspires Dawn to start building siege engines and human-powered flying machines.

Either that, or she'll have a blind urge to get it on with a Italian guy called Salai. :heysexy:

It's a good thing I skipped a day, because now you don't have to wait until tomorrow for the end of the "Will Abbey get the ball?" cliffhanger.

Dammit! Will she get the ball again? Oh, I can't take the twists and turns of this story!

It's all fun and games until the dog brings back a severed human ear and then we segue into the world of Blue Velvet.
