They actually aren’t funny, Elmo. Your mom is, once again, correct

Dustin, 9/14/23
Apologies (?) for not showing you yesterday’s Dustin, which consisted of Dustin asking his dad to guess the global gross domestic product, and Dustin’s dad guessing $100 trillion when the actual answer was $102 trillion (according to the strip, anyway, but if you think I’m doing any research whatsoever to fact-check a gag in Dustin you are sorely mistaken), and there was some bemused discussion of how his guess was quite close in relative terms despite being off by $2 trillion, a very large sum when considered on its own. Anyway, this was annoying but not that annoying — certainly not that annoying by Dustin’s usual standards — so I didn’t bother talking about it here. But repeating the exact same “joke” today, with nothing new added other than a shuffle in the lineup of characters saying it? Well, that’s annoying enough to bring to your attention. If they try to get a whole week out of this concept, I’m going to be very annoyed indeed.
The Lockhorns, 9/14/23
See, if you’re going to do a themed week, you really need to follow the lead of The Lockhorns and do it with a real purity of purpose and tight focus. This week is apparently “Lockhorns anniversary week,” the theme of which is that Leroy and Loretta use the occasion to attack and belittle one another in anniversary-specific ways, as opposed to the more general ways in which they do it over the rest of the year.
Gil Thorp, 9/14/23
Wow, it looks like Toby and Rod really used their time in prison to sharpen their football skills, huh? This is going to send an important message to student-athletes everywhere: that the best way to get a leg up is to go to juvie where they’ll be forced to play football for the entertainment of a sadistic warden, so they need to do some crimes, but not crimes so serious that they get sent to adult prison, where the sadistic warden can only be entertained by no-holds-barred steel cage matches.
Blondie, 9/14/23
Love the way Elmo is solemnly making direct eye contact with the reader in the final panel here. This truly is an important lesson about school picture day that America’s children need to learn, which is why it’s so tragic that no children read Blondie.
Rex Morgan, M.D., 9/14/23
RENE THEY ARE ONLY TRYING TO PAY YOU THE MONEY YOU ARE OWED AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE, WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE CRIME AND THREATS WITH YOU

Phantom: Someone really needs to tell Guran the “wearing Minnie Pearl’s table lamp shade” look went out, when, uh, when, hm. I guess that look never was “in.”
Rex Morgan: Buzzy, Buzzy, Buzzy. Has your hours of car trunk time taught you nothing? Rene Beluso is far too committed to his shtick of ignoring your common sense advice that would have put money in his pocket, real or virtual, many hours ago. “Committing stupid crimes unnecessarily” is his brand.
Gil Thorpe:
That’s right, Panel 3, juvenile delinquent prison does prepare you for a life of slinging hamburgers around.
MW:
“Greta?”
“Yes, Max?”
“Remind me. What’s the name of the Dadaist painter and sculptor — first name Jean — whose work is the subject of a current exhibition at the Santa Royale Art Museum?
“Arf!”
Gil Thorp-“I was talking about what we were doing on the football field not what we do in the showers.”
FC-Those sticks are like braces to help the tree grow. Unlike your malformed fifth sibling that is locked up in the basement who needs braces too.
MW-“I always wanted a family like this.” Unlike Eve’s previous family, the Mansons.
Wrecks Moregone:
After many days of reading this strip most attentively, I have a faint suspicion that the real hidden message is that Rene wants some money.
Crankshaft : happily reminisces about how he’s sped away without picking up the kids for so long, those kids have now grown up and become parents themselves, but can’t figure out why ALL the parents in his school district REFUSE to wait for the bus with their kids, knowing he’s still the driver.
What a mystery.
************
Dustin : IS weird in what it chooses to make a throwaway one-shot, and what it makes into a rest-of-the-week bit, but it DOES tend to err on the side of “Dustin has a new job at a wacky place = one-shot/DustinDad is being tedious and unfun = whole week bit”.
***********
Frazz : okay, either it turns out Caufield writes brilliant, A+ work while ignoring Mrs Olsen’s class, finally proving he is an understimulated genius, or he hands in work that gets him F- because he’s writing about completely unrelated things that have nothing to do with his assignment.
…Which version is more likely to lead to Caufield and Frazz mocking Mrs Olsen behind her back? ‘Cause that’s the one that’ll happen.
***********
Rex Morgan M.D. : And Buzzy Cameron is pointing out that René is bad at criming, what with not having at least a burner account they can easily wire the money to. It’s like he showed up to threaten them for the money he (feels he) is owed, but absolutely no plan on how to get the money and get away with it, like he thought the threats wouldn’t work
(maybe that’s why he’s so upset that Mud Murphy went all “SURE HERE YOU GO PROF MIRAKLE HERE’S YOUR MONEY”, he was hoping he’d refuse?)***********
Slylock Fox : EXTRA DIFFERENCE : in the image on the right, that giant bug is a fiberglass mascot of the Exterminators, advertising their company. In the image on the left, that giant bug is a mutant stalking the Exterminators, waiting to strike for its next meal.
Wary Morth:
“I always wanted a family where both the dogs and the humans were insane enough to wear matching neckwear”?
That’s what Eve is saying?
@Anonymous:
Why is Buzzy C familiar with clandestine payments? Slylock Fox wants to know.
So has Elmo joined Dagwood’s carpool?
Dustin: Haha, it’s funny because politicians would be bad at ballparking economic figures! Or it’s funny because they’d be good at it, maybe? I don’t know, this one could really go either way.
GT: The Milford Mudlarks categorize their plays not by formations, blocking assignments, and receiver routes, but instead by how competently they perform them. They’re doing much better now that they make more use of plays like the Perfect Throw and the Unstoppable Rush, but they had to fire their last offensive coordinator who kept calling for the Misread Pick-6 and the Backfield Sack-Fumble.
RMMD: None of these characters have Earth human motivations for anything they’re doing, so I have no idea what to make of Mud’s objections regarding bank wariness to large cash withdrawals. If Mud doesn’t care about getting criminally extorted or becoming a fugitive murderer’s enabler and accomplice, what’s his problem? Just the minor social awkwardness of asking a bank teller to give him his own money?
Dustin: Ed running for office? I suppose the voters would get what they deserved if they elected him.
Dustin: The joke here is that DustinMom wants DustinDad to run for office, hoping he’ll be in Washington DC most of the time, so she won’t have to talk to him or see him.
Lockhorns: “Your gift sucks, Leroy!”
GT: Rod misunderstands “Let’s show them how we do it in juvie,” and shivs an opposing lineman.
Blondie: Elmo should consider running for office. I’ve heard the use of Sharpie to support personal delusions was in vogue recently.
RMMD: I am totally looking forward to learning the email address associated with Rene’s Venmo!
I don’t often say this, but kudos to Dustin’s dad – specifically, for resisting the urge to blame lazy, feckless millennials for knocking $2 trillion off the global GDP.
SFx: Oh, look at the cute little mice, helping themselves to some delicious cheese behind the back of the lazy cat (or, to be precise, over the back of the cat, but you get my meaning). It’s heartwarming to see how they rejoice over finally getting a solid meal…
…until you notice those exterminators, grinning maliciously at the thought of unleashing a monstrous cockroach on the poor unsuspecting rodents. That roach is the stuff of which nightmares are made – just look at the demented look in its eyes as it prepares to launch into a spree of indiscriminate killing. I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t stop at the mice – the cat would probably make an excellent dessert.
And they call this “Comics for Kids”. Comics to traumatize kids and haunt their nightmares for years to come, perhaps.
“Perfect throw”. Wow, the sports terminology in Gil Thorp is too technical for the average fan to keep up with.
Frazz: I can’t quite put my finger on why Caulfield has trouble with his homework. I think this strip is trying to give me a hint, though.
Luann: Gunther’s right. Forehead fuckers have to be morons, since they’re missing like a whole bunch of holes. Oh. Oh…”flickers.” I’m just glad I’m not forced to agree with Gunther.
CS: More t0rtured English, here. I should just be happy it didn’t read, “I used to chase after your when my daughter Amy Johnson, the wife of Chad Kerfluffowitz, and the mother to my granddaughter Cindy Kerfluffowitz, rode the bus.”
JP: April’s mom is in town and she already knows everything about everything. What skills and resources does she have to attain this omniscience? Doesn’t matter! It’s all happening off-page! Man, writing is easy!
Luann: Not nice, Gunther. You shouldn’t call other people forehead fu- [squints] Oh! Forehead flickers!
9CL: Now that they’re all in detention/study hall, they can perfect their competitive burping techniques.
GT: Since Tobie and Rod were the only players in “juvie”, is the rest of the team meandering around the field like players in that old electronic football game?
GT: Rod: “Let’s show them how we do it in juvie”
Tobie: [pulls out a shank]
Phantom: Guran has the opportunity to be the ultimate “wingman” for the Phantom here with Sarvana and Diana.
Dustin: Dad: “Lucky guess right? I was only off by 2 trillion dollars!”
Mom: “Did you adjust for inflation?”
Dad: “Hah, right.” [closes eyes]
Mom: [turns off light; closes eyes]
…
Dad: [Eyes pop open]
@taig: Gosh dang it.
Zits: Jeremy definitely whizzed in that coffee.
FC: And they whisper about how they were taken in the prime of their lives in the hope that the new tree will avenge them.
MW: “It sure is nice to be married.” “It sure is nice that we’re walking these dogs.” “It sure is nice that our existence isn’t a simulation.” “What?” “Sorry, I think I glitched there. It sure is nice that it’s always sunny.”
@jroggs: It was right there. I’m honestly surprised I was the first one to make that snark.
Josh has pointed out that, in real time instead of Comic Strip Time, the Lockhorns would be millennials. But they still talk and act like it’s still the 1950s as far as gender attitudes are concerned. Jokes about a wife being a lousy cook and a lousy housekeeper? That was already old hat when the strip debuted. So I throw the floor open to the married millennials here – what do the couples in your generation fight about?
MW: The large land clam shifted imperceptibly on the grassy knoll, just enough to signal to the land clams who were positioned further along the same path where Saul, Greta, Eve, and Max were now taking a walk. The signal was passed from one land clam to another, the boulders along the walking path moving in slow succession, as from the merest rolling temblor. Here in California, the land clams knew, such tiny earthquakes were common, and as the rocks arranged themselves for the coming attack, they were confident their moves would not be noticed. Besides, except for the blue-necked foursome that was the target of today’s mission, no other creatures were visible. It should be easy. Around the bend, concealed by a small copse, the commanding land clam checked his watch. It was Zero Hour.
MW: Merch Update! Folks, have you thought about your holiday shopping yet? Well, you will after you see our new fall lineup of coordinated neckwear! Now, for the first time, we have both bow-tie AND kerchief sets available in the same color palettes! Yes, Pets and their owners can keep their own individual style, but still be color coordinated with other family members! Perfect for today’s modern blended families. Let the world know you’re a team!
————–
Great job, Intern, in getting those gift baskets to Mss. Moy and Brigman. I’m sure all that swag played a part in their extending the storyline another week…. until our new merch arrived! Yeah, I think they’re gonna feature the new neckwear a few more days. Any word on the next storyline yet? No? Anyway, we have several finalists lined up for Brandy’s Cat, in case that ever happens.
RMMD-“And how would I transfer this money electronically? Just shove the money through electrical sockets?”
It will all be worth it when Dustin’s Dad gets elected to Dog Catcher and subsequently gets rabies.
How are Guran and Babudan even the same species?
GT — Look, I don’t hold myself out to be a football expert, but if Rod can throw the perfect pass, shouldn’t he be the quarterback?
RMMD — I’m surprised Rene doesn’t want to be paid in crpyto. . .
RMMD: In fairness to Rene, given his various crimes, he’s probably also planning on not reporting his income to the IRS, so of course he doesn’t want to transfer the money electronically because then it becomes trackable.
Of course, this still doesn’t solve the problem that he has two witnesses to kidnapping and extortion to deal with, but he’s tried murder before, no reason not to try again.
@30 But What Do I Know?: on Rex Morgan: “I’m surprised Rene doesn’t want to be paid in crpyto.” Spoiler Alert on tomorrow’s strip.
GT – High school students making a ’90s SNL reference? Not buying it.
Dustin – DustinDad will use this one-time guess to forever decide that Dustin’s minimum wage job (which hasn’t raised its pay since July 2009) should be able to pay for increased cost of housing, while at the same time he will take the latest seasonal swing in gas prices as the sole determinate of who to vote for next election.
The Lockhorns – The Lockhorns, meanwhile, keep their own finances in order my reusing things, like the tired old bit about men buying their wives vacuum cleaners as gifts.
Gil Thorp – Reform schools and juvenile halls used to teach skilled trades in hopes youth offenders who are not college bound could support themselves. But Milford is a post-industrial economy that runs on high school sports, which is facing a decline in public financing. Ironically, in selling vapes to support the dwindling economy, the students were sent to juvenile hall, where they became part of the prison-sports-industrial complex that is draining public financing of schools and youth sports. Gil rightfully takes issue with it, but how long before the town leadership develop teen-focused vagrancy laws to find reasons to legally compel any youth with decent athleticism to take part in the only growing industry in town? Will this strip turn into a YA Sports Dystopia narrative?
Blondie – With a billion filters available on their phones, why would kids today even care about Sharpie mustaches?
Rex Morgan, MD – As much as you would want to bag on Rene for his convoluted plot to get his money the hardest way possible, as a seasoned fraudster, perhaps he sees the banks as just another scam and wants his assets in cold-hard cash.
While Dagwood constantly hanging out with a kid not related to him is creepy.
I mean unless the Bumsteads are personal friends with his parents.
Also Dagwood was doing this long before “Stranger Danger” was as solidified as it is now so he’s probably the exception.
Dustin however has no excuse. I can’t even suggest Dustin being “friends” with anyone in the kid’s family without bursting out laughing.
RMMD – The accountant wants Rene’s routing number and account information. He’s being Phished right there in front of us.
JP – And now the truth is out. Just like Doctor Appleby in Jumpstart, Detective Yelich’s birth name is, in fact Detective. Next, we learn that the grey haired woman who just carjacked April is named “April’s Mom.”
@Sid, Agent to the Animal Stars!: Hey, I ordered this set and when the items arrived I realized the bow ties were stinkin’ CLIP-ONS…!! That’s not a problem for me—I can wear a collared shirt—but it’s not great for my pooch. She’s worn the tie every day this week for our long walks in the park, but every time I go to remove the thing, fur gets caught in the stupid clips and now she’s got two bald spots at her throat. I see your advertising states “no returns accepted” but I’m wondering if you carry something in a fur collar that could hide the scars until her fur grows back. My dog is a Dalmatian, so maybe something in a spotted ermine…? Please advise.
Blondie: Ah, but did Elmo draw the sharpie mustache on the photo – or on his own face before the picture was taken?
Rex Morgan – Yeah, Buzzy – I’m sure Rene wants a digital breadcrumb trail. He’s a criminal, yes, but not a criminal mastermind, so it’s not like he has an offshore account that’s untraceable.
MW: How about if the dogs talk and the people say, “woof” for a while? Anything for some variety.
RMMD: Oh, man. I see a bank heist a-comin’.
LOCKHORNS: Well, it’s marginally better than last year’s Douche of the Month Club membership.
MW – How ironic would it be if Max and Greta suddenly started fighting each other?
L’horns – The real dig here is that Leroy bought Loretta a 1968 model Hoover.
Blondie – I’m trying to figure out the setup here. Dagwood waits for his carpool in the exact same spot and exact same time that Elmo waits for his school bus? Wouldn’t Dag’s carpool just pick him up at his house instead of a vast, grassy knoll?
@40 Old School Allie Cat: Everyone is trying to give Rene his due without any hesitation. It’s that dumbass who is demanding large amounts of cash after banking hours who’s agitating himself into more and more crimes. I can see the trial, witness after witness stating they tried giving Rene his money but he kept not taking it. I’d love to have the facepalm balm concession in that courthouse. The jury and judge’ll be great customers.
If he bought her a 1969 model of something that sucks, that would be a better hint of what he wants for his present.
Is there an explanation for DustinMom’s weird, three-tone hair color? Are those supposed to be highlights? Or, a signifier that she’s greying? But why only on the sides and front? The sides look like a Home Depot paint sample booklet. It annoys me.
@47 astroboy: The hair streaks are to distract the viewers’ eyes from her sagging mammaries.
//Ha! I beat Scratchy to this response!
Apparently in Juvie you learn exactly where to hold a football to make it give a silly smile.
Dustin: If this is Dustin’s Family’s idea of a humorous situation and anecdote, then it’s no wonder they’re a bunch of miserable cunts.
The Lockhorns: “Actually, Loretta, I just thought you’d like having a new vacuum since the old one needed replacing. I was trying to be nice for once. But fuck me, right? I’ll take that as my cue to quit trying. Hope you enjoy the big ol’ nothing you’ll be getting for our anniversary from now on.”
Gil Thorp: If this strip had any sense of comedy, Rod’s “perfect throw” would either land barely a foot in front of him or accidentally hit somebody in the audience (preferably Marty Moon!).
Blondie: Dagwood and Elmo aren’t looking at the reader in that final panel for no reason; they’ve spotted an out-of-control truck coming from that direction. Unfortunately, their slow reaction will be their doom.
Rex Morgan: Rene would you just chill the fuck out and let these guys give you their money. You’re not even owed any “royalties” (and clearly don’t know what those are or anything else about how copyright law works) and even if you were, your claim would probably be rendered null and void by the whole kidnapping thing, but they’re still willing to pay you an exorbitant amount. So quit having a goddamn meltdown. Jeez.
On a side note, I do love how even in this situation, the comic is STILL trying to pretend that Mud is a “badly behaved” asshole diva just because of that ONE “pretending to be constipated” thing he did. Mud could be getting beaten to death by a mugger and the characters would still be pompously going on about how it serves him right for not prostrating himself before the benevolent and holy Truck.
@richardf8:
“Do you have a first name Lt. Columbo?” “I do, but only my wife uses it.”
“You thinkin’ what I’m thinkin’, Tobe?”
“Wait until we’re in the showers after the game and slide a shiv in their ribs, Rod?”
“Let’s show them how we do it in Juvie.”
Good catch on that. It also looks like Wilbur’s butt crack.
CS: Who named their daughter “Cindy” in 2015? She should be “Mackenzie” or “Brooklyn” or “Neveah” or something.
Phantom: Well, a quick trip back to the Bandar camp, only to find out that Diana’s been drugged! To keep us from riding to Gravelines! What a stirring adventure that could have been! I could have shown my physical fitness as well as my mental capabilities! I’m telling you, if it were not for the hope that eventually Heloise and I will take over the leads here, I’d ditch this freakshow! So Guran gave Diana a tea to make her sleep! I hope he doesn’t try… any of that … schtuff wif me! Thish water tash funnnyyyy…
The Schlockhornes: “Actually, Lorretta, I’m tired of hearing your mother complain that she can’t go anywhere because you have her broom.”
CS: Crankshaft used to take Amy Jo Johnson, the pink Power Ranger, to school! Big if true.
Lockhorns: According to Wikipedia, this strip debuted on September 9, 1968, so this week it turned 55.
Phantom: Like with the researcher who found the underground world, again they’re drugging a woman to keep her out of Kit’s way. And how are they going to explain this to her? “He wanted to die and thought you would get in the way.” How much betrayal and distrust is Diana going to swallow? Oh, who am I kidding: all of it.
Blondie: Since Dagwood has a history of being late so often, maybe the car pool told him that they won’t stop unless he’s standing outside. But if that’s a school bus stop, where are all the other kids? Same with Crankshaft: Do cartoonists think that public school buses stop at each kid’s house?
@Schroduck: “I don’t often say this, but kudos to Dustin’s dad – specifically, for resisting the urge to blame lazy, feckless millennials for knocking $2 trillion off the global GDP.”
Instead, the comic chooses to blame it on politicians, who are an even easier target than even millennials, but at least they are not using Ed as a mouthpiece for complaining. Which is a refreshing change of routine.
“Have you considered running for office? Sorry for the non-sequitur, but I was thinking how nice it would be not to hear your voice for weeks while you barnstormed the state for votes. How nice a big empty bed would be for me and the lawn guy. How good it would feel to see the media and the opposition drag you through the mud with the information I leak to them, and how great it would be to see you finally skulk back here in utter humiliation and defeat.”
September 9, 1968 is when the First The Lockhorns ran in newspapers.
I am glad it wasn’t on the 11th. That would have been an unortunately auspicious occassion.
Instead it is 9-9.
For 54 years The Lockhorns.have celebrated their own tragedy.
As for Elmo and Dagwood in “Blondie”:
Own it Elmo! Time to show that you are too cool for school. Go buy some booze and smokes, and, flash that mustachioed Elmo photo. Just say you shaved it off because it was itchy!
@Baja Gaijin: Dustin: “The hair streaks are to distract the viewers’ eyes from her sagging mammaries.”
She can try, but nothing can distract the viewer’s eyes from Helen’s sagging mammaries.
Blondie: But the school photographer must have gotten a big kick out of it, since they took the picture anyway. “Ha! You drew on a mustache? That’s hilarious, because you’re too young to have a mustache, and it also looks so fake! I gotta get a bunch of shots of this! Turn your head just a bit to the left, okay? You’re going on the cover of the book, kid!”
I’m pretty sure “Blondie” owes Sharpie Inc a®,a©,or a™. You don’t mess around with Big Marker, you end up with a permanent smile on your face.
Also interesting that the bus stop is right by a fire hydrant. That might be a metaphor for something. Or a simile.
Blondie – Leave It to Beaver already did this schtick. And better of course.
@Tom T.: No one in Power Rangers ever talked about how the city of Angel Grove was razed to the ground every week by the Rangers and their foes, but if Crankshaft was driving his school bus through the area, then giant monster and mech battles were probably the least of the local destruction.
Dustin: If they try to get a whole week out of this concept, it’ll still move faster than Mary Worth.
@astroboy: “It annoys me.”
You’ve discovered Dustin’s mission statement.
BB: Everybody believes Lt. Fuzz is just an annoying, inexperienced 2nd lieutenant, but if you look closer, there are some obvious signs that he is much more than that. What are his actual duties, except sitting in on meetings with senior staff and writing endless reports which are immediately sent directly to the circular archive? Why does he report directly to the General rather than to one of his immediate superiors? If he irritates the General so much, why hasn’t he long ago been reassigned to other duties where he’s out of the General’s sight?
Actually, General Halftrack has long suspected that Lt. Fuzz is really an undercover investigator for the JAG, sent to investigate the rumours of the General’s incompetence and general mismanagement of the base. So he’s assigned Lt. Fuzz to duties where he’s kept under Halftrack’s eye all the time, kept busy writing reports on unimportant subjects, and sees as little as possible about what’s actually going on.
Of course, this is just a paranoid delusion created by the General’s alcohol-addled mind, but who is to complain? Certainly not Lt. Fuzz, who can bask in the glory of being in the presence of so much brass all the time, and can boast about rubbing elbows with officers of much higher rank than himself.
And so their sordid, co-dependent relationship continues, as a more genteel and less violent version of the S&M-laden relationship between Sarge and Beetle. The saddest thing of all is that we’re supposed to find this funny.
@Banana Jr. 6000:

“Bah! It’s no fun doing this by myself…”
@made of wince: “Blondie: But the school photographer must have gotten a big kick out of it, since they took the picture anyway.”
Either that, or the school photographer is way beyond caring about the antics of his subjects. He’s seen it all. “So that kid chose to paint on a mustache? Well, that’s his problem. I’m paid to take his picture, not to be his mom. As long as he keeps his pants on, I’ll just snap a few photos and move on.”
“Well, Loretta, it was supposed to be a dachshund wearing a bow tie, but the Humane Society won’t return my calls after that incident with the cat. Which, as you may recall, is why we need a new vacuum in the first place.”

6Chix – It took me a minute to recognize it, but there is a joke here. It’s not particularly funny, but it’s there.
Now Ms Thursday needs to work on her lack of ability in artwork.
Frazz – Caulfield must have the most inattentive parents in the world. If they cared at all they would be storming to the guidance counselor’s office demanding an Individual Education Plan for the insufferable little genius. He needs to be placed in advanced classes (his problem is that he isn’t “challenged” in school) instead of hanging out with a janitor who reinforces his worst traits.
Crankshaft – Why doesn’t the kid get on the bus instead of standing in the rain? Crankshaft and Grandma can continue their discussion, but there’s no need for the kid to get soaked.
JP, Rex Morgan, and MW:
JP – We have a toxic CIA operative and her even more toxic mother trading quips. They don’t know that the really bad guy has threatened failed factory owner Neddy and insufferable genius Sophie. Or maybe Mom does know.
Rex Morgan – Inept master criminal Rene, obtuse Mud, and not totally there agent Buzzy are having a high finance argument about how to withdraw money from a bank. This has been going on for days. Buzzy must be drunk or drugged to the gills or he would be at least a little upset about being locked in a car trunk for most of a day.
MW – The world’s least appealing and least interesting couple and their dogs take a walk while wearing matching neckwear. The alleged humans spout inane words that were obviously written by extraterrestrials, and the dogs throw in an occasional “woof.”
I can’t decide which of these three strips I give less of a shit about.
@ectojazzmage: RMMD: Awww, you’ve spoiled the surprise upcoming story arc guest written by Tom Batiuk in which Les Moore gives Mud’s eulogy.
CS: That’s right, Cranky. You’ve been making life hell for parents and children for generations. You have much to answer for.
Luann: Note the letterer for “Luann” made certain to keep the “L” and “I” in the last balloon far apart. Pity. It would’ve been funnier if they hadn’t.
Dustbin: Dustdad, you came closest to the actual global gross domestic product without going over! You’re going to the Showcase Showdown!
No. Dustin’s father had not considered running for office before, but the look on his face says he is considering it now. (Images of goosestepping armies; exploding bomb and screaming sounds)
What have you done, Dustin’s mom? What have you done?

@I speak Jive: RMMD: “Buzzy must be drunk or drugged to the gills or he would be at least a little upset about being locked in a car trunk for most of a day.”
Well, how do you suppose Rene got him into the trunk in the first place? Such operations are much easier if you drug your victim first.
Luann: hey, forehead flicker. Don’t interrupt Gunth’s viewing of Bets’ “Only Fans” account.

Those are some fancy toilets the bears are using to do their bear stuff. Does Sid loan his bears out for Charmin™ commercials?
Dustin So why is Helen (Helen, right?) laying in bed with her mouth open in panels two and three, but only saying something in panel 3? Is she doing voice exercises? Breathing in to feel a minty tingle after having just brushed teeth? Slowly forming the perfect put down to her annoying, yet gassy, husband? *throws arms up* Why do I even care about this?
6 Chix Her tiny boobies are pointed at the tiny cup. Get it? Tiny cup, tiny cups?
FC Tree shibari.
@Garrison Skunk: I’ve assumed that “Fuzz” refers to static on a walkie-talkie, i.e., when this guy speaks, it’s just white noise.
Any of them name a kid “Solo Car Date?”
BG&SS: Are there really any
restaurantsfood places in Hootin’ Holler that deliver takeout? Are there even any food places at all there? Even if there are, I think you’ll have to pick up your takeout yourself.Which can only lead to one conclusion: the Sheriff is ordering from some high-falutin’ Flatlander place who will charge an outrageous fee for sending a Uber Eats driver on narrow mountain roads all the way to Hootin’ Holler.
No wonder Snuffy is always doing his best to avoid the taxman – the cost of their legal system alone must be bleeding the tax paying portion of their population (all three of them!) dry.
BG&SS: The Sheriff is ordering takeout for the prisoners? What degenerate sissy nanny-state has this turned into? What’s wrong with good old-fashioned bread and water?

Whoever writes Dustin probably thinks of themself as Dustin, the lovable (?) slacker, but in reality they’re almost certainly Dustin’s hateful dad, and without realizing it admitted this by making at least two strips out of what was most likely a real-life annoying event.
As always, impressed/insulted that Gil Thorp thinks it will be perfectly satisfactory to make a strip out of what is basically a single exchange of dialogue extrapolated out into strip length, spoken by two characters we don’t know or care about (I truly cannot imagine even Gil Thorp fans, if there are any, caring about anyone in the strip other than Gil Thorp or Marty Moon).

@Jeffmcm: “Whoever writes Dustin probably thinks of themself as Dustin, the lovable (?) slacker, but in reality they’re almost certainly Dustin’s hateful dad”
Dustin’s dad is very clearly an author avatar for complaining about all the little things in life which seem to annoy the heck out of the author. Do they identify with him? Tricky question – as you write, Ed is not portrayed in a very positive light, but I actually think they may be clueless enough to think that Ed actually comes across as sympathetic, if flawed.
They almost certainly don’t identify with Dustin, considering what lengths they go to to paint him as a non-lovable, completely worthless person. If they do identify with Dustin, they need help. Now.
@Scratchy Scrotum LXIX:
Any of them name a kid “Solo Car Date?”
_______________________
Yep, the kid made the best of it and tells people his full name is Han Solo Car Date and took girls in his Ford Falcon for dates,who in turn all said, “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”, making his wookie growl.
@Garrison Skunk: I thought that at first, but I’m pretty sure “the perfect throw” is a goof on “the perfect cheer.”
FC – “If only we knew what a tree has seen. But we will make it talk.”
RMMD: the police should be chasing Rene for attempted murder. There are mafia thugs after him. Why is hapless conman Rene still alive?

Crankshaft: This is a perfect setup for Grandma to reminisce about all the times she waited with Amy for the bus in the rain, and for Ed to peel out mid-sentence.
others have probably articulated this much more succinctly than i have but rex morgan’s current trajectory as a strip baffles me. its not like this needs to be a tight medical drama but who picks up writing rex morgan with the secret intention of turning it into a strange, bumbling… comedy? strip about a country singer named Mudd? does the writer have hard numbers proving the audience likes the elderly couple going on a cruise over the titular family?
HtH: The lady of the castle is absolutely delighted! Nothing makes for good, lighthearted dinner conversation than having your home invaded and burned down by barbarians, your servants slain, your wine swilled, your carpets stained by blood, your wealth and possessions stolen, and your daughter ravaged and dragged off to a life in slavery. That kind of experience makes you the life of the party!
@Rube: BB: “Nothing more dangerous than a junior officer with a map, I’ve heard.”
I’ve heard that as well, and Beetle Bailey has actually used the concept a number of times. Of course, this being light-hearted comedy, Lt. Fuzz with a map isn’t actually dangerous to anything but his own dignity.
@Rube: Having been both an NCO and junior officer, I agree wholeheartedly. One actually gets dumber when you pin on the butter-bars, and doesn’t get much better until you make O-3.
@Tom T.: Ah, 55, the emerald anniversary! Or is it vacuum cleaners? Maybe I should check before I buy my spouse a gift.
PS, this week is also MY anniversary (not 55, though, only 19), and I hope the knowledge that I share this date with the Lockhorns does not permanently taint my future celebrations.
@Rita Lake: A local radio sports talk host mentioned on air that he and his wife were celebrating their 6th anniversary.
His co-host mentioned “paper” anniversaries and “diamond” anniversaries and asked Pat what he was giving the bride on their anniversary.
“My warmest personal regards”.
@Charterstoned: Hello, C.S.! We regret that you found our Pet-and-Owner Bow Tie combo less than satisfactory. But we have a solution to your problem – we now offer a coordinating neck strap for clip-on bow-tie attachment, at the low price of only $19.99! And as a goodwill gesture, we will waive the shipping fee. (just pay handling fee of $7.98)
As for a fur collar
to hide the scarswe do not currently have any of your desired species, spotted Ermine, in stock. However we do have a good selection of Eastern Gray Squirrel in our inventory, if this would meet your pet’s needs….Pearls Before Swine: The problem when you decide, “Dogs Are Good”.
@Daisy: They. Must. Match. They’re a FAMILY now!
Zits Spanish to English.
@Al of the Christian Singles Jungle Patrol: As a former 2nd lieutenant, I can confirm.
@,Sid, Agent to the Animal Stars!: Not interested in the Eastern Gray Squirrel cast-offs from Lost Forest. How about some stone martens? Got any of those? You know, the ones with little glass eyes and alligator clips you used to see, draped around the neck of the old lady in the pew right in front of you, that you couldn’t resist touching just to make sure those glassy eyes weren’t real? I think a stone marten collar could work.
Has Rene brandished a weapon of any sort? Is there any reason these two men, one of whom is larger than him, can’t overpower him and hand him over to the authorities? They can then put the money owed into Rene’s prison commissary account. Everybody wins!
@130 Tabby Lavalamp:
Look at last Sunday’s strip.
Phantom: So Stripeybutt has no qualms about some fat goober slipping his wife knockout drops? Presenting our hero, boys and girls.
@Tabby Lavalamp: #130: He did brandish a gun a few strips ago but then stupidly reholstered it. He’s also stupidly got his back turned to one of his victims.
@Charterstoned: Yeah, I know Stone Marten fur neckpieces. In fact, Mom used to have one. My ol’ man, Sid, Sr, got it for her as an anniversary gift, after that incident with him and the showgirl. I think Mom woulda been more pleased if it hadn’t still been alive when he wrapped it around her neck…. it had been one of his clients.
It did eventually “pass over” and we had it taxidermied. I’ll check the storeroom to see if it’s still around. Mom really can’t use it up the river at Club Fed….
Mr. Jive and I are another couple who share an anniversary week with the Lockhorns. Today is our 49th anniversary.
Did this joke really necessitate showing off so much of Dustin’s dad’s bare chest? It’s this sort of unrestrained immodesty that’s knocking trillions of the global GDP.
@135 Navigator:
At least they didn’t show his hairy ass.
RMMD: One of us speculated that Buzzy is actually in cahoots with Rene in an attempt to cheat Mud out of his money. Some of the clues being conveniently on the cruise ship at the right moment to approach Mud, Buzzy being so blase about being abducted and stuffed into a car trunk, and Rene being so unconcerned about turning his back on his “victim”. If true that solves how Rene escaped from the ship’s brig so easily. Buzzy sprung him and then hid him in his cabin the rest of the cruise. That scenario actually sounds like a good detective story. The true scenario is that everyone involved is equally stupid and incompetent. What will probably happen is once Rene gets his cash he’ll dash out into the parking lot and get accidently run over by Truck in his beat up, old Coupe deVille. When they take him to the ER the physician on duty will be Rex. Hilarity ensues.
@Guillermo el chiclero: To the extent I’ve been thinking about this (and I’ve given up reading the strip unless it’s featured here, at least while this stupidity is going on), I’ve been thinking that Truck is going to show up and save the day. Remember, Mud invited him to the motel. You would think there would have to be some kind of payoff, but — Terry Beatty.
@I speak Jive: Congratulations!
Blondie:
I don’t know, I just feel like mid-September is awful early in the school year to already have had Picture Day AND gotten the proofs back? Or maybe Elmo goes to one of those year-round schools that were an experiment I thought had merit but never took off. Or maybe I’m just out of touch since I don’t have kids. You make the call!

_______________________
I like that theory! Makes sense! I always thought it was meant to refer to “peach fuzz” and lampshade his low level of manliness and lack of actual respect. I don’t see why it couldn’t be both…when you look past the Blips, Buxleys and Platos Mort Walker was deeper then we give him credit for.
@Rube: Maybe Truck will show up with his squirrel gun in hand, filled with grapeshot to plant a load in Mud’s ass, and end up saving the day?
@Garrison Skunk: ” when you look past the Blips, Buxleys and Platos Mort Walker was deeper then we give him credit for.”
Which, to be honest, is rather faint praise. A bit like saying that Luann isn’t quite as stupid as she seems.
@Voshkod:

This.

All the more reason to go with your “Buzzy is in with Rene” on this caper. @137 Guillermo el chiclero:
Dustin: No flies on Helen. She’ll say whatever she needs to get her husband out of the house for a few weeks.
GT: “Let’s show them how we do it in juvie. No, no, the other thing.”
Lockhorns: Leroy can’t even bother to be original with his bad anniversary gifts. Loretta, for her part, has no enthusiasm for a vacuum cleaner. They don’t even have a dog to scare.

Is that the First Series or the Second Series? I’m keen as mustard to see the 2nd.
@Sequitur, @Ukulele Ike: I accept your verdict(s). But I’m still intrigued by the questions this Pluggers panel raises. Is it set in the 1920s/30s? Did John Deere caps like that Plugger is wearing even exist back then?
Or are we seeing into an alternate universe where anthropomorphic bears are the dominant species, and their lack of opposable thumbs has held back their technological development? Are there also ads in that paper for ice deliverers and telegraph operators? Does a bear need tongs to deliver ice or can he just use his claws?
@Peanut Gallery:
Does a [Plugger] bear need tongs
My (admittedly, warped) mind initially interpreted that as “Does a [Plugger] bear need A THONG”, and now I feel as if I need to share that mental image with the ‘mudges?
