Blondie, 6/20/25

Imagine how much funnier this strip would be if Blondie had spent any of the past 90 years or so developing the characters and backstories of Dagwood’s coworkers. Instead, we’re left staring blankly at the antics of the guy who apparently thinks he’s fat, doesn’t-want-to-be-upside-down guy, and Garfield lady, DithersCo’s #1 Garf superfan. Honestly the most intriguing person to me is the guy Dagwood runs into in the elevator, who is absolutely seething at the idea of an office having “funny t-shirt day,” a proposal that is simply wildly out of step with the current sociopolitical climate. How dare they!

Mother Goose and Grimm, 6/20/25

Look, I get that when you have comics with dogs in them, you’re gonna do some jokes where the punchline is “a fire hydrant or a tree is for them what a toilet is for us!” and that’s fine. But please, I’m begging you to fully think through that metaphor when you do strips like this. Would you draw a person lurking in a room of giant toilets thinking “I’ve died and gone to heaven!”, the message clearly being that they love pissing? Of course you wouldn’t. They’d put you on a list and they’d be right to do it.

Pluggers, 6/20/25

It’s very distressing to me that this plugger is wandering around outside, with no visible houses or any other kind of structures to be seen. If he were in his living room, I would be like, “Ha, pluggers do be losing track of stuff! Relatable!” But as it is, I feel like we need to issue a Silver Alert post-haste.
