You want this week’s top comment? Well HERE YA GO:

“I was going to make a comment about Gearhead Gertie’s inconsistent leg length across different strips, but in researching this I discovered that if you type ‘gearhead’ into Google, ‘Gertie’ is not even one of the recommended next words in the list, and the realization of this comic’s apparent lack of relevance in the subculture which it desperately seeks to inhabit made it all feel so pointless. I don’t want to kick Gertie while she’s down. She’s doing enough of that on her own with those weird legs.” –Tristan Olson

And the very funny runners up? BE MY GUEST:

“The audacity of the dog’s transgression literally punctured reality and re-animated the rotted flesh, now sentient and upright, staring in horror of Grimm’s sins.” –ctnyc

“I’m gonna start addressing all my notes to ”Phantoms yet to be,’ maybe it’ll inspire someone.” –Plant Growth, on BlueSky

“No, the regular hospital is fine. Daddy’s not on duty.” –Hibbleton

“It’s good that June is a trained medical professional, because if my young son were throwing up a weird colored liquid after being left in the supervision of my twelve-year-old daughter with a TBI, I’d assume he had gotten into the cleaning supplies.” –matt w

“It takes a lot to break Hi’s habitual look of ‘dull surprise.’ But when a light snowfall comes and obscures his most hated archenemy, The Ground, Hi is overwhelmed with warm fuzzies.” –Guts Dozier

“If this strip runs through all its characters, main and ancillary, replacing one another in a giant chain until we get back to Sarah babysitting and June sitting at the eye surgery center going ‘WTF?’ I will forgive a lot. Oh, and Johnny dies of appendicitis, that’s a must-have.” –I’m Not Cthulhu, But I Play Him On TV

“Why is Lois looking so horrified at this light snowfall? Has she, like Dick Tracy’s drunks, just spotted a corpse on the lawn? Is it Thirsty, frozen to death after a drink too many? It’s Thirsty, right?” –Schroduck

“‘Go on’ says Toby, while she anxiously awaits the words ‘I think it’s time we went our separate ways.’” –TK

“Now I’m picturing a series of ‘This Is Fine’ memes with Ian calmly sitting as guano levels rise and more and more parrots crowd the room.” –CanuckDownSouth

“Blondie instinctively covering her butt as the full weight of Dithers’ abuse comes to the surface. She’s either viscerally reacting to Dag’s poor treatment, or feeling a flush as she wonders if he’ll show her just exactly how Dithers inspired him.” –Grendel25

“Sydney Sweeney, eh? Dagwood certainly does enjoy huge breasts have a ‘type.’” –Ukulele Ike

“No, the ‘dining’ bit makes sense; Blondie is reading the latest issue of Food Addict Enabler Magazine.” –Horace Broon

“This relatively Meddling Mary-free arc has me thinking that if she gets turfed out of her own strip, Barney Google-style, in favor of the cross-cultural parrot couple, I for one wouldn’t mind over-much.” –Charterstone: Dune

“If there were intelligent mice in scarves building art in my yard, instead of complaining I’d be seeking fame and fortune and turning science on its head. But then, I’m not a crotchety old man who failed to exploit my intelligent cat for vast riches over the years.” –Tabby Lavalamp

“‘You underestimate me, but my time is coming!’ is actually covered on Day 1 of Supervillain School. Nice to see Cosmo is branching out and exploring interests. Sadly, he’s super lame, so he’ll be easily dealt with by the lamest heroes. God, the X-Men will probably send DAZZLER.” –A Grave Mind

“Judge Parker: Where ‘I can’t listen anymore, I’m going to cover my ears’ meets ‘tell me more.’” –Handsome Harry Backstayge, Idol of a Million Other Women
