Mollificent- Oh, I agree that in a vacuum that strip isn’t particularly mean spirited. It’s not particularly light hearted either, and it certainly doesn’t work as the response to what was basically a completely unconnected comic. Yes, Pastis used the same first name, but he uses the names of his relatives for all of Pig’s dead family members, and it’s never been taken as a direct swipe at them, no matter how jocular.

But Frazz has been, from the start, a passive aggressive swipe against everyone who thinks differently, and especially everybody who works with children. It’s nothing but the peanut gallery that constantly talks about how much better everything was in “their day,” completely failing to take into account the realities of the situation.

Waly is back and he hasn’t aged a day! Iraq must exist outside of the time-jump continuum. Hello Rip Van Wally! You’ve fallen asleep and it’s now 2017, possibly 2019!

Bootsy, Poteet, and the other gals here who often lament the dearth of proper beef-flavored cake in the funny pages, there’s always today’s My Cage. It’s furry beefcake, but its still beefcake. ;-)

on the other side, Candorville also manages to work in a nice booty shot today.

Jackull- My sympathies and thoughts going out to you and your friend’s family. I can’t imagine what you are going through as we all deal with loss in our own ways. I lost my Mom on January 27th, and for me, this blog and the wonderful people here helped a lot with my healing. For that I thank you all so much.
Like John C. said above. We’ll be here when you need us.

Take care and may peace be with you.

yBeetle Bailey – Unfortunately, this can really happen. Snakes do swallow eggs from nests and have inadvertently eaten golf balls by mistake. I remember reading a Dave Barry column a long time ago which mentioned a snake which had swallowed a couple of golf balls. Fortunately someone found the snake and took it to a vet.
