The internet seems convinced that Jon tortured Lyman in a basement dungeon and then murdered him.

That's what I'm going to believe

There used to be old point-and-click adventure games on the Garfield site and one of them was set on Halloween where Garfield is exploring a haunted mansion. Lyman's found in the basement dungeon held to the walls with shackles and had an item for beating the game.

For a while Davis used to joke that Lyman was in Jon's basement but would later say he joined the Peace Corp and went overseas and a later Garfield property had Lyman become a wildlife photographer that had gotten lost looking for a cryptid and then later got a job as the cryptid scaring poachers off.

Mr. Boop really lost me at the beginning of Book 4 but I kind of came around after the whole "descent into obsession" thing. I've got mixed feelings about the ending and the whole project but it was something to check up on regularly in 2020.

I hate to even ask this, but Kevin and Kell always makes a huge deal about hybrids, and I don't think you ever see an adult who's part elk and part penguin or whatever. Were species only having kids with themselves before the protagonists casually broke barriers and started making magic babies?

Don't think about it, Holbrook sure didn't.

I know she's going to turn out to be correct about the statue being of that bird woman but I still can't get over the ridiculous leap in logic. If I saw a guy who looked like Abraham Lincoln walking down the street, I shouldn't immediately jump to "Abraham Lincoln never actually died in the theater and also he's immortal!"

"She looks like our teacher!"
"So am I dating a racist or could you phrase this better."

Next to that she appears to be reading a Tintin album-- I can't make out the lettering on the bottom of the cover so I don't know if it's a real Tintin or a pastiche. Bechdel has written in various interviews about the influence Herge had on her art-- I think the thumbprint is pretty obvious.

Looks like it says "Tintin Meets The Amazons" which makes it a pastiche.

I don't know what to do with the fact that I now find the dumb joke character in Kevin and Kell the most tragic and sympathetic character in the strip, and somehow those birds are fawning over these other assholes as the saviors of the world when Ralph is the only one who's developed what's necessary for a functional society.

I admit, I read that strip, didn't think much of it, and when someone called it out for transphobia I went "Wait, there's transphobia there?" and went back and immediately noticed it. I think part of it is that it's also sort of subtly presented as "kids say the darndest things" and appears wholesome that made me not even realize it was there. It's not like Pat Cross or Branco who are incapable of hiding or being subtle about their transphobia, even if in their comics they were to present it as a kid saying it it would be immediately noticeable how awful and hateful it was being.

That said I do remember goons mostly liking OBH a couple of years ago before I fell out of following the thread, aside from how bad the characters' mouths looked when they were drawn in a side profile, so it does seem like the strip has started to slowly change a bit from just being silly "kids don't understand things" jokes.

Also every time I see the Ninja Kitty saying "RARE" my brain tries to make one of Reuben Bolling's Super-Fun-Pak comics about the guy walking into the bar going "I bet you fifty bucks this animal can answer this question." All I can come up with is either a Pokemon/card game rarity joke, or something about steak.

"I bet you this cat knows the top level of item drop quality in World of Warcraft."
"You're on."
"RARE!"
"Nope, it's Artifact."
"I told you to buy me Shadowlands."

Who's the couple thinking about adding ageplay to their bedroom in chickweed lane?

Their names are Fluffy and Nachotime; he's the high priest of Hecate and is later temporarily killed by Hellboy which only hastens her rebirth and the inevitable return of the Ogdru Jahad, she's a retired netrunner who got half of her brain replaced with cloned meat after her old neuralrig was bricked by a Mi-Go paracausal multi-state virus and had a seizure as a result. Back in 2002 there was a well-received plotline where the two of them had a heart-to-heart about her struggle with physical rehab and him worrying that he thought less of her for her disability and uphill fight with learning to walk again. They would later fade into the background for a period of time as a pair of janitors who walk around cleaning up other character's public sex messes before making a killing in the stock market and living comfortably.
