It’s here! The comment of the week! Enjoy it!

“Garfield, you fool! Never accept food or drink from the Fair Folk! Now you must spend 1,000 Mondays beneath the brugh, dancing the accursed reels of the Unseelie! There will not be any lasagna!” –Navigator

And your runners up! Very funny!

“The strip has drifted so far from its original intended audience that now we celebrate woke pluggers who refuse to use toxic herbicides.” –Hibbleton

“Is there a word for the disorientation one feels when looking at crudely drawn people about to tuck into photorealistic food? I’m thinking something from German.” –Artist formerly known as Ben

“[Deep breath] According to Catholic theologian and philosopher John F. Haught, mystery emerges from the profound experience of simultaneously butting up against unanswerable ‘limit questions’ arising from such fields as science, ethics, criticism, politics, and logic and experiencing some deep, inexhaustible ineffable power promising us a hope-filled future. [Exhale] In Rex Morgan, M.D., mystery arises from the big GO AWAY I’M RETIRED sign on a Hollywood star’s mansion. God lives in the future, the star serves coffee. It’s really the same, if you stop to think about it.” –I’m Not Cthulhu, But I Play Him On TV

“Is it just me, or is the second panel of RMMD just the first panel but zoomed in? Did all the effort go into drawing the camera? Come on, man, have some dignity.” –Austria

“I am the 1970s Excitement Fairy! I hope you like disco and cocaine!” –Voshkod

“Biz is just trying desperately to get comfortable, since he somehow put on shorts without a tail hole.” –MKay

“Good news: the writer of Shoe remembered that his characters are birds and have feathers. Bad news: it’s over — and I mean, really, really over — for twerking. There’s no coming back from this.” –Joe Blevins

“Mr. President, two of the unaccounted-for clones have survived, and made contact with the Original Luann! I’m not sure we can keep a lid on ‘Operation Why God?’ for much longer!” –A Grave Mind

“Actually, his father invented something much more important than uniforms to the Funkyverse: the last panel pun that’s not really a pun but just the same word with the same meaning.” –Schroduck

“No, Tommy, don’t say you can’t swim just before an outing to Chekhov Beach…” –But What Do I Know?

“Finally we learn the story behind Harry’s pathological obsession with selling candy to pay for high school band uniforms: in order to live up to his father’s legacy, he bought the entire class tailor-made uniforms every year. Bespoke clothing doesn’t come cheap, so if all of Westview had to get type 2 diabetes to soothe his daddy issues, well, that was a price he was willing to pay.” –Vulpes

“OMG cartoonists, those shirts are fantastic, please do this in every comic to label every character! Even the major ones! I’d love to never have to remember the name of Dustin’s dad!” –Tabby Lavalamp

“Blondie’s face has the exact same expression in all three panels, and I think it’s great!

Panel 1: Her smile conveys polite, professional interest.
Panel 2: That same smile is friendly and inquisitive. She feels closer to her clients than before!
Panel 3: Blondie’s smile is now frozen on her face in horror! These alleged surfers don’t have money! It’s the worst thing that could happen to her.” –Victor Von

“Are you marketing executives? Because you just invented some names for products related to a specific theme, but you have given no practical information on how these products should be made.” –Ettorre

“Maybe Blondie started her catering business because she thinks of herself as a high-end chef who likes to experiment with interesting and potentially dangerous flavor combinations, like those wasabi waffles. Meanwhile, Dagwood’s tastes are far more pedestrian. He prefers foods like ham, pot roast, pizza, diner chili, midnight leftovers, and of course, sandwiches of size. Meanwhile, his favorite seasonings are salt, more salt, ‘pass the salt, please,’ and, for a thrill, three slices of pepper jack.” –BigTed

“I live in Kansas City. The music scene here would eat Loon alive, with really good barbecue sauce.” –Basil Wishbone

“Notice how the gorilla in the background is holding its hand to its head as psychics are often depicted in comics. Clearly the implication is that the gorillas in this sanctuary are all actually telepathically threatening and controlling the owners of the place to carry out their schemes. The son desperately wants to warn Mark, but one of the Silverbacks make sure he can be seen and thus the consequences of challenging the new world order known.” –ectojazzmage
