Many of you will be hit by a lot of snow this weekend! Not me, I’m in the pleasant Southwest, we’re getting some rain but nothing too dire, but the rest of you who are trapped in your houses for days can at least entertain yourself with this week’s comment of the week:

“Sorry, Dennis is 5. He does not have an opinion on piano playing ability or prefer some classical performances to others. The only music he likes is hyperspeed dance remixes of Mr. Beast videos.” –Schroduck

And the runners up will also warm your heart even if your actual furnace fails!

“The more Herb nags him, the more Jamal spitefully adds ingredients which break dietary rules for every religion.” –Hibbleton

“In the first panel, Dennis and Joey look like a couple of hit men that Margaret is about to hire. ‘Hello, boys — Mr. Wilson hasn’t been keeping up his protection payments. I wants you should … persuade him.’” –Pozzo

“We’ve all been there before, flailing around for the noun to cap off that adjective as the sentence is unraveling. ‘My two favorite … people? birds? creatures? men? beings? lovers? … uh, entities?’” –Handsome Harry Backstayge, Idol of a Million Other Women

“The next day, Toby is wiping down the conference room where she and Ian … have their meetings? Do their taxes? Roleplay ‘horny professor and grad student who can’t keep their hands off each other after a riveting seminar’? In any case, another bird has shown up — which would be a boring development, except it allows us to see that her two-story condo is above the treetops for some reason.” –BigTed

“Yes … bird number two … that sums up this strip pretty well.” –Dennis Jimenez

“Sorry I missed Christmas. I’m running a little late. Escaped from prison? Oh, no no no. I’m a ghost. You know … I wear the bucket hat I forged in life, and all that. Anyway, you will be haunted by three spirits … look, I’d better come in so you can close your door. No sense both of us catching our death of cold, heh heh!” –Peanut Gallery

“Wasn’t Ann in prison for white-collar shit like fraud? Why is Katherine reacting like she’s speaking to a serial killer? ‘OH GOD, PLEASE DON’T EMBEZZLE ME, I’M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!’” –ectojazzmage

“You know it’s good soul food because it gives you soul-searching instead of just heartburn.” –Ettore Costa, on BlueSky

“Did you know cocaine was used as an anesthetic in eye surgery? I bring it up because it’s more interesting than anything happening in this strip.” –Lauralot

“The real science here is that a 3 foot by 6 inch cylindrical hole in sand is prone to spontaneous collapse, they probably don’t have time to slowly fill it in. Things don’t look good for Chester.” –nescio

“As absolutely no one under the age of, like, 43 is going to a Masters Of The Universe movie, are the dipshits in Intelligent Life actually … pluggers? Are these two terrible streams crossing? Is THAT why this bleeding, screaming vortex has appeared in my closet? I’d really like my towels back.” –A Grave Mind

“Lip positioning indicates that Thing 1 and Thing 2 are whistling coherent sentences in the second panel of Generic Geek Comic #8, which is far more impressive than a He-Man movie, as it at least takes talent, or at least dolphin DNA.” –Voshkod

“Checking my search history after Garfield gives the phone back:

8:03 lasagna
8:04 lasagna recipe pictures
8:05 big lasagna
8:06 big lasagna extra toppings
8:10 lasagna two cats at the same time
8:17 clean tomato sauce couch how
8:22 blame mess dog strategies
8:25 bury dog yard legal in city limits
8:27 fbi cia hide search history” –TheRealAaron

“Thank god they called him or he would have had a full revelation about the effects of long waits for medical treatment on the patient. Instead, he can just keep thinking the irritated people he sees are just ungrateful and pissy naturally.” –Everything Is Better With Monkeys

“Sorry Ann, your attempt as a parolee to bring the strip back to legal topics is too late, they’ve sunk too far into an alcoholic governmental assassin state.” –CanuckDownSouth

“Don’t you lie, Rex Morgan narration box. June is very much checked out.” –matt w

“I believe that as a parolee, Ann is required to not associate with known felons, like, you know, Judge Parker Sr., but maybe it’s for the best. Once she learns that her brother went missing searching for his assassin wife; that her felon father is a hopeless, bitter alcoholic; that her step-mom is a useless enabler; and that her too-old-for-her-years niece’s upbringing has been farmed out to an aimless trust fund kid, Ann will probably welcome a return to the structure and stability of prison life.” –Charterstone: Dune

“We’ve just caught sight of Alice’s dog, who looks more-or-less normal. Does this mean that whatever’s going on with Alice’s head isn’t whimsical character design? Are we supposed to understand that, in-universe, she’s just like that? It explains a lot, honestly.” –a.

“I’m becoming increasingly convinced that this whole strip is a plot by the American Library Association to make movies and TV look lame.” –pugfuggly

“The clouds and sky outside the dorks’ car seems to indicate that they are flying high in the friendly skies, if it helps (it doesn’t), and therefore more likely to die in a spectacular fireball (it does).” –I’m Not Cthulhu, But I Play Him On TV
