B.C., 8/27/25

A fun thing that happened in B.C. about halfway through the decade or so when I was ignoring it is that the Cute Chick and the Fat Broad got renamed “Grace” and “Jane,” respectively. So, congrats to both of them! I bring this up because the setup to this strip seems to be that Jane went out onto this boat with Curls and her cat, and she told him something about “catfishing” that he didn’t really understand, but he didn’t ask her any follow-up questions for whatever reason. Would he have been so deferential if she was still known only as “the Fat Broad?” Doubtful!

Football season is underway in the Valley Conference! Glad to see in panel one that the refs don’t let a little light-to-medium face-masking interfere with everyone having a good time. Sure, a few necks will be broken, but the surviving players will be even tougher, and within a few generations we’ll have a whole community full of supernecked athletes! Let’s take the long view here.

Panels like this are classics of the “A cartoonist experiences something incredibly mundane in their daily life and decides it would make a good comic for some reason” genre, but when Alice does that, it really makes me worry about the origins of the strips with the aliens.

Oh, I’m sorry, did you not want to explore your newly discovered familial connection to Cody? Well get ready to be struck dead by an angry God, buddy!!!

Mary Worth Update: Olive rushed into the surf and saved her drowning classmate, is one way to describe what happened, although another and possibly more accurate way is to say that Olive forced the beach lifeguard to rescue not one but two children from the undertow. Anyway, this has gotten most of her erstwhile bullies to change their thinking on the whole Olive situation. But not Naomi! Naomi will never stop living her truth, which is that Olive is a big weirdo. And good for her. Probably Olive will finally lose her patience and use her psychic powers to violently explode Naomi’s skull, but I appreciate someone who stands by their convictions instead of changing their mind just because of a little bit of selfless life-saving.

Rex Morgan Update: Cody tracked down his bio-half-sis, who informed him that her brother does not want to meet their father’s bastard spawn. But that hasn’t stopped Cody! There hasn’t been a lot of medical business in this strip lately, but I do wonder if Rex’s clinic is equipped to handle whatever kind of injury a guy could deal out with a leaf blower, if he’s surprised enough.

Six Chix Update: Wouldn’t it be funny if eating way too much meat made you spasm uncontrollably? Ha ha! I’m pretty sure it doesn’t, though. The main thing it does is give you heart disease, eventually, though it might fuck your colon up real bad first.

Come on, lady, everybody knows April. They didn’t even need to tell you her last name!

Sad-sack sister here sounds like an AI spooling out yards of generic content: “different points of view” … “makes communication tough” … “not open to the idea” … “doesn’t want to accept” …. Out with it, girl: the guy’s a jerk!

Hi and Lois tiptoes into Rex Morgan Secret Sibling territory. Careful reconnecting with your new half-brother, Dawg—I hear his sister is a real bitch.
