Beetle Bailey, 12/9/04
For everyone who doubts that the French are a menace to all we hold dear in the good old US of A, I offer this installment of Beetle Bailey. Since they know that they can’t beat our military in a stand-up fight, we can here see that they are undermining our army’s preparedness. Sure, there are no actual French people in the comic, but Camp Swampy’s morale is being ravaged by ennui — an emotion so identified with the French that there isn’t even an English word for it. Quelle horreur!
(And a shout out to Nico “Speedo” Goerg in Gay Paree — we’re keeping an eye on you over there!)
Maybe they recently bought him on eBay or something

Momma, 12/8/04
Today’s Momma is pretty much an illustration of the difference between a gag-driven strip and a character-driven strip. I’ve been reading Momma daily for the last two years, and this is the first time I’ve noticed that Thomas and his cooking-impaired wife have a child, which I’m guessing is because they didn’t before the idea for this joke came along. I mean, come on: wouldn’t longer and more frequent visits with her only grandchild be one of the primary demands dominating Momma’s cavalcade of passive aggression?
On the other hand, maybe she’s scared of little Chucky, since they appear to be roughly the same size.
Anyway, I hope the happy parents enjoy their night out seeing the new smash hit film Love is a Blah.
