Guns (not in Andy Capp, that’s knifecrime territory)
Post Content
Andy Capp, 12/13/25
Hartlepool is part of the Tees Valley Combined Authority, a conurbation of 700,000 people in the far northeast of England, and it’s frankly sad that brain surgeons are so thin on the ground there that this young (?) woman would call the profession “exotic.” Ditto for pilots, especially given the poor state of the British rail system! Anyway, I used to read Andy Capp as a kid and one of the strip’s running bits that puzzled and disturbed me the most was when women at the pub would flirt with Andy. How old were they supposed to be? Were we supposed to read them as attractive? Didn’t they know he’s married? These questions still haunt me today, but not as much as this woman’s unnaturally located and shaped breasts, which I think is a 21st century addition to the strip.
The Phantom, 12/13/25
Hey, kids, were you wondering what the Phantom was up to? Well, there’s a lot of plot I haven’t gotten into over the past few months, but frankly you don’t have to know about any of it to enjoy this drawing of him just firing two pistols down a hallway at nobody in particular. The Phantom: The Superhero Whose Superpower Is Guns™!
Dick Tracy, 12/13/25
Speaking of guns, were you wondering what clown-criminal Rojo Ozob was up to? Well, it seems that rather than “playing it cool” when a potential adversary is parked out front of his hideout, he instead orders his underlings to charge out with whatever weapons they have at hand, which can lead to unpleasant results if the potential adversary turns out to be the cops. I guess this guy really is a clown, ha ha! (I’m using “clown” here in the metaphorical sense, so as to highlight his incompetence.)

Phantom:
“Whatever moral authority he acquires by going in there with guns blazing is going to go right down the tubes when they see that ridiculous get-up he’s dressed in,” muses thoughtful Devil.
Dick Tracy:
“What’s that rectangular musical symbol that’s off-panel, just above what’s being displayed?”
“You’re under a rest!”
JP: ‘What’s there to question, Neddy? Sophie’s hungry for this guy, and doesn’t know whether she wants dull stability or wild exoticism!’
‘What the-?’
‘When gran’pa passes out from one of his benders, gran’ma would park me in front of the Hallmark Channel while she takes him to the hospital. You ever see Hot Frosty?’
MW: This is a delight. A pure delight.
CS: Wow, a strip so lazy that Batiuk couldn’t even write three panels worth of material and forced his artist to compensate by drawing that glurgey third panel with literally nothing happening.
Luann: Okay, if we end this storyline right here, right now, I will take back what I said yesterday.
Wrecks Moregone:
Winter might at least have the basic decency to try to keep the $ signs out of her eyes.
Andy Capp: I’m pretty sure that damsel is a lady of the evening. She may not be all that attractive, but she makes up for it with barely convincing flattery.
Dick Tracy: I like “Claudia,” who looks like a walk-on “Archie” character who’s startled to see that both Betty and Veronica are in love with the red-haired kid. Wearing a big turtleneck to a clown-led heist isn’t a choice I’d make, but to each their own.
The Phantom: “This should make for better behavior around here!” says the Phantom. The bad guys can’t hear him over the sound of machine-gun fire, but he really meant it as training for his wolf-dog in case it ever decides to bark at the mailman or chew on his slippers.
Wary Morth:
If I were Ian, I would take Toby’s new son and put him in with her SPLAK! horsies. Let’s see how fast she disowns him, then.
@BigTed:
Andy should just let the damsel take a look at his wallet.
Andy Capp – The lass’s dreams will be crushed when she finds out that Andy can’t afford a hooker.
Phantom:
Patrolwoman Dai has created a mess
You’d think that her actions would cause him great stress
But Phantom’s reaction is buoyant and droll:
That’s why he’s the head of the Jungle Patrol
Now, Bowie might say of the crooks on the lam
That Phantom will win: “He’s a total blam blam!”
Restoring some order is our hero’s goal —
He steps in to manage the Jungle Patrol
The wolf sports a quizzical attitude there —
Perhaps you’d describe it as “Devil-May-Care”
But all of Bangalla will soon be made whole
‘Cause Phantom’s now leading the Jungle Patrol
(The usual thanks to Uncle Lumpy for allowing me to imitate this form of expression that he’s mastered)
@Ukranazi Stepan: @Weaselboy: Maybe not at full price, but I bet he has a coupon. (Or maybe he can get a friends-and-family rate, since she’s probably somebody’s cousin.)
Andy Capp-Have you ever heard of Jack the Ripper?
RMMD-Auggie will later on show Summer a lot of icing.
I wonder if the EVILSCARYCLOWN will deter Baja from the comments today?
Because I just wanted to say, thanks for the mentions last night that I didn’t see until this morning :3
AC: Her Eastern Bloc boob job probably seemed exotic at the time also.
@The Quiet Man: With any luck, Crankshaft’s third panel is the setup for the pizza-box guy taking a tumble down those un-shoveled steps as he leaves the bookstore — frankly I’m surprised there’s not a pile of injured patrons at the bottom already, with a swarm of lawyers waving business cards — and his identity will be revealed next week as the emergency room staff cuts him out of the costume.
Phantom: What is that bubble with its weird border supposed to be? It’s like some weird speech bubble-thought bubble hybrid. Has Manley perfected the art of depicting mumbling?
Andy Capp : all I can think about is how this is essentially the opposite of EVERY Dustin comic where he goes to a bar. So drunk lout from Oop Nort’ is living Dustin Kudlick’s american dream.
************
Crankshaft : Amelia and Bedelia should have probably shoveled the stairs before they left. A guy in a hard-to-move-in costume and an elderly woman could slip and fall and
(hopefully)break their necks on those!************
Dick Tracy : If Ozob’s moll uses this as an excuse to duck out of sight so she can change into Ghost Cat… I’ll cry foul because the dialogue CLEARLY established Ghost Cat is a guy.
(I dunno why my mind went there, maybe it’s because I can’t parse what the hell this story is trying to be about)
************
Frazz : “When I go to the mall, and see people Christmas shopping, all I feel is ANGER and HATRED and JEALOUSY because they’re not buying presents FOR ME”….
…I’m surprised that Caufield shows the self-awareness to realise thinking that way is messed up, but am really concerned Frazz DOESN’T.
…or wait, am I reading this wrong, and is he saying “When I see a shop offering a discount, all I can think about is how little this is meant for my convenience and how much more it is for the store to make more money”?, but phrasing it weird?************
Luann : and that’s the last we’ll ever see of Dash. Come back in 5+ months (whenever the strip remembers Ox exists again) for an off-hand mention of “Oh yeah, Dash. I petted him too hard, like Molly, so he’s gone now.”
…Too far?…***********
Phantom : On one hand, I dunno if “SHOOT INDISCRIMINATELY IN THE DIRECTION OF TROUBLE” is a good idea when several of the people in that direction are on your side. On the other hand, yeah, it’ll “get some heads down” and “make for better behavior”, because corpses tend to lay with their heads on the ground, not doing any mischief.
Andy Capp: Of course the breasts are awkwardly placed. They’re a work-in-progress. That is so obviously a dude.
Dick Tracy: For some reason (incompetence), Ozob the Nwolc is putting in a mouth guard to prepare for a gun fight.
When someone rushes at Dick Tracy–Dick Tracy–with a drawn gun, Dick tells him to “Drop it” instead of plugging him and claiming a reasonable fear of harm? I don’t believe it.
@Ken: Does Lillian have an interior set of stairs or is that a separate unit she turned into the bookstore? Because then *she* could take a tumble outside as our Christmas glurgey storyline
ANDY CAPP: Andy can now claim to be a pilot who performs brain surgery mid- flight -something he NEVER could have thought of on his own.
RMMD: “Hey, Summer, my editor just called. They’re offering twice as much money if I make Winter the psycho stalker.”
“What are you waiting for? To the laptop!”
MW: Way to de-escalate, Toby. Now, put the bird in his little stroller and take him out for a walkie.
MW: Ian challenges Sunny to a duel. Sunny (real name: Jose Luis Xóchitl Y Garcia) picks South American boleadoras as his weapon of choice. Ian clumsily swings the weapon and quickly wraps the weighted strings around his own neck while Sunny lets out a hardy Ha! Ha! Ha!
Andy Capp: Teesside Airport, the closest to Hartlepool, often sees as little as one flight a day, and 90% of its flights are tiny 45 minute hops to Amsterdam for business types in the petrochemical industry. I’ve flown from there a few times, so trust me when I say they really don’t get many pilots there, and the ones they do get really don’t stick around. (As far as I can tell, the brain surgeon situation in Tees Valley is pretty good though)
MT Look, I am an extra-anxious person when it comes to nature’s dangers, and even I wouldn’t base cancelling an activity on some proprietary weather app contradicting multiple well-established weather models and (the lack of) hazard warnings. In the real world, the “weather wizard” app’s prediction of flash floods would be some hallucinated AI slop for clicks.
Phantom: Look. All I’m saying is that nobody can PROVE that the Phantom isn’t using a crotch-gun. Maybe he’s using his unseen left arm, and maybe he isn’t.
Either the women who regularly flirt with Andy Capp are sex workers, or he has movie-idol looks that the iconic flap cap can’t obscure. Or maybe the women are incredibly turned on by men who keep their eyes covered, such as Beetle Bailey attracting Miss Buxley, and Beetle’s nephew Chip having a string of girlfriends.
AC- Um, Josh – you do know they have hookers in England, right? Although they probably call them flobbywots or some other eccentric, yet charming, name that the Brits seem to have for everything. Maybe he’ll buy her a big plate of toad in the hole. Or is that how pub girls refer to their grimy, lower-class patrons like Andy? I can’t keep this stuff straight.
Judge Parker: I don’t know why this happens. Every time I’ve seen the little girl in Judge Parker this week, a certain Prince song keeps popping up in my head.
Mary Worth: You may have noticed I’ve not done a mashup of Mary Worth in the past few days. I couldn’t “improve” big Ian raging against the little bird while the little bird taunts him. Kudos, Mary Worth Team!
Phantom: I never noticed The Phantom’s stripey drawers, ahem, lift and separate before today’s strip. Has he always had such a shapely ass?
DT: Claudia looks like what would happen if Shaggy and Velma mated.
AC: She didn’t have just any boob lift; she had the boob clean! (but without the followup boob jerk)
@Gil Bates:
p.s. She has the snatch down, though.
Don Abundio, translated:
“Not much chance of ducking out early!”
“Even the windows are blocked!”
“Bah! We might as well submit to it”
“Next up is ‘I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night’…”
AC: It’s funny because Andy is about to wake up in a hotel bathtub filled with ice, minus one kidney!
Ph: I like how even the dog is looking at him as if to say “Really? This is how you real with ‘bad behavior’?”
DT: Hmm, this is the first time I’ve seen Ozob. Not sure what I was expecting, but “Beetlejuice’s fatter, more off-putting brother” wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.
AC – We can’t see it, but her first clue should have been the piss pooling under his bar stool….
Phantom – Pest control – Charles Bronson style….
DT – I hope that white dot signifies a cell phone camera! This will be great for the blooper reel at his retirement roast….
Adios Amigos, DJ.
The Phantom: Phantom’s belief he can fix behavioral issues by shooting his guns off randomly is making me suspect that The-Ghost-Who-Walks doesn’t actually know how to resolve any problem without the use of gunfire. Tune in next week when Phantom helps his wife with the dishes by gunning her down at the kitchen sink.
@Anonymous:
On DT: I think she’s going to slip off and come back as Ghost Cat’s arch nemesis (and secret femme fatale crush) Dogwoman!
On Luann: ‘I had a lit-tul friend once, but he don’t move no more!!’ [cue Scott Bradley ending music and title card ‘The End An M-G-M Cartoon Made in Hollywood U.S.A.’]*
*With kindest thanks to the memory of the great Tex Avery.
The Phantom: I was going to make a crack about how it’s actually The Phantom: The Superhero Whose Superpower Is Cheap Ammunition™!!, which got me to thinking about the Bandar defense industry and whether it can compete with a flood of Chinese and American manufacturers in the 9 and 7.62mm range, or if it’s really The Phantom: The Superhero Whose Superpower Is Buying In Bulk™!! In the end, I decided not to give into overthinking and for once just enjoy the panel the way God and nature intended: BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
AC: Wouldn’t a woman of negotiable virtue who picks up johns in this pub already know who Andy is, and that he’s already too many pints in to have enough left over for her?
DT: Well, good thing that was the cops; Ozob would have a lot harder time skipping town if he’d opened fire on a couple Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Phantom: Some vigilante heroes scorn random, senseless violence and random, senseless gun violence in particular, but not The Ghost Who Shoots Blindly Into the Next Room!
Also The Phantom: Meanwhile, Devil’s superpower is being deaf, apparently.
@TheDiva: Re Dick Tracy: Quite right, quite right. The Jehovah’s Witnesses would take getting shot as a sign of interest and come back the next day to invite him to their next bible study.
MW: *SQUAWK* Who’s your Daddy? *SQUAWK*
HGH: They wear their helmuts to bed?
Andy Capp: I feel like we’re spending too much time worrying about how Andy manages to attract the attention of a young woman and not enough time worrying about how the Hartlepool Ripper attracts her next victim. Rest in power Andy, 1957-2025, may your remains be found on the moors above Weardale, rather than the canals surrounding the Hartlepool Marina.
I don’t like that the barkeep lowered his newspaper to look directly at us, well aware that we’re able to read this thoughts. No sirree, I don’t like that one bit.
***
The Phantom artist clearly spent so much time lovingly rendering that dog that they couldn’t sketch in a person or two for The Ghost Who Walks to be shooting at before the deadline.
***
Either Ozob’s head is really big or Velma and Shaggy’s kid there behind him is really small, because otherwise the perspective in that panel is really off and that can’t be it.
Dustin: “Sorry, no can do–but tell ya what, I’ll put the game on mute rather than turning up the volume to drown you out, because I love you so much.”
GT: “We figured if ICE comes banging down our door, a few words from The Most Important Man in Milford will fix everything.”
Luann: Wasn’t Ox a veterinary student at one point? I realize that might just mean he’s up to his eyeballs in student loan debt, but surely his family can scrape together a couple hundred for the adoption fee.
MT: Trust me, Neddy, whatever you think is going on is much more interesting than what’s actually going on.
MW: I never wanted to know that Toby calls Ian “Daddy.”
RMMD: Dear God, if you’re going to keep doing extreme close-ups of your characters, could you at least give them expressions that match the dialogue? Augie looks like he’s telling Summer that a mass was detected on her last mammogram, and Summer looks like she’s humoring a blind date until she can manufacture a “family emergency.”
RMMD:
“If I were a rake, I’d be bold enough to think that might possibly sound almost like a hint at some kind of double enten–”
“Sorry, can’t hear you over the sound of a spatula slapping buttercream on my breasts!”
HtH: Hagar is torn between his need to overprotect his daughter and the want of some kind of grandchild. Honey isn’t getting any younger; but then again she’s not getting any older.
FC: Thel, isn’t Jeffy big enough to carry the baby’s diaper bag yet?
Blondie is going into re-posts just like FC. This was originially from when malls were still a thing, perhaps 1988.
Dustin better be getting advice on how to keep a girlfriend from someone else but Ed. (I know: Walk before you try to run.)
Also also The Phantom: Despite anything he (or more likely Diana) may have read in Positive Discipline: The Classic Guide to Helping Children Develop Self-Discipline, Responsibility, Cooperation, and Problem-Solving Skills, The Phantom knows that suppressive fire is a viable parenting strategy.
Dick Tracy: LESS FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS MORE BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
@Baja Gaijin:
The “little bird”, of course, being Toby, the real feather-brain of this story.
Andy Capp:
I thought the lady with the ponytail was sweet on Augie the Schoolteacher. Oh, wait a minute. Wrong strip.
REX MORGAN M.D.: I can see why she’s so jazzed about the portrayal of “Autumn” in the novel, because Summer comes across as a neurotic gold-digging bimbo. (A “Toby”, if one were well-versed I the vernacular of Comic Curmudgeons.)
MW: Oh, daddy…
@TheDiva: Re: Dustin: A conclusion that Ed came to after several unsuccessful attempts to use the mute button on his wife.
@TheDiva: Re: MW: That would actually the least surprising info we got from Mary Worth. Sorry, Ian, but that’s what happens when you marry someone young enough to be your daughter.
DT: You can see why Claudia is tight with Ozob. Not only the svelte figure and Cary Grant good looks, but all that suave gentlemanly charm.
GT: “Milford High is so cool! You’re going to love it here! Absolutely no straight normies at all — even Coach Thorp is balling a barkeeper half his age.”
Luann: If Ox can’t afford the pet adoption fee, is he going to be able to afford to take care of the dog?
Dick Tracy: Stupid cops, bringing a gun to a crowbar fight!
Andy Capp: Considering the next most attractive man in Hartlepool is ‘Angus the Monkey, the wife-beating drunk doesn’t seem so bad.
@Joshua K.: SHHHhhh!! I’m willing to accept one more piece of unrealism if it means we put an end to this stupid storyline!
Because of Andy Capp’s art style, it’s difficult to judge attractiveness of characters since they all look so similar. Today’s strip suggests Andy is considered hot in his universe and, frankly, I am unable to process this information.
@Baja Gaijin:
Mary Worth: You may have noticed I’ve not done a mashup of Mary Worth in the past few days. I couldn’t “improve” big Ian raging against the little bird while the little bird taunts him. Kudos, Mary Worth Team!
Truly a high compliment!
The Phantom: it’s a good thing there’s nothing downrange except the wall–hip shooting with a pistol isn’t a great idea once you get outside of handshake range, and once you get past three yards or so it’s basically worthless.
DT: Later after all of the ruckus has calmed down, Rojo Ozob meets with his court appointed attorney. Atty: Ok, just to recap things, your two employees found a man trying to break into your van and plant sort of device. They were trying to secure him for you to call the police when a figure waving a large automatic yells at everyone but never identifies themselves as the police. A fracas then breaks out and you were shot, correct? That was all before this masked vigilante “Cat Man” or something appears and this person in a trenchcoat seemed to you to be aiding and abetting this vigilante?
JP: those caps and the little purple beret on Charlotte are excellent gift ideas! Charlotte in panel 1 is thinking – “okay, this is another one of those ‘adult’ conversations people think I don’t understand.”
MW: This is peak Mary Worth! Please let it build to a crescendo clash over Christmas. Will it be revealed that Ian’s avian antipathy relates to a deep seated childhood trauma with another parrot? Will Tobey finally wake up and realize what a controlling sob Ian turns out to be.
Phantom: That’s right, Stripeybutt. Fire blindly into a stone wall. The danger of ricochets is way overrated, just old wives tales.
CS: Forget about him navigating a rickety, ice-covered stairway. I want to know what bank is going to cash a check made out to the Pizza Box Monster.
CS: “Wait, you paid him but you never paid me?” fumes Crankshaft the next day.
Pluggers: This one covers both pluggers are old and pluggers are physically decrepit.
Luann: Just how much do animal shelters charge for adoptions in California? It’s not like Ox doesn’t have a job, unless the DeGroots pay him in leftover food, which wouldn’t surprise me.
@BeetleGuy: What do you think that flat cap and scarf smell like after 68 years? You know Capp has never heard of dry cleaning. Far more disturbing: Flo was supposed to be modeled after a 1995 Elizabeth Hurley. Reg Smythe is just a shitty artist.
CS: when pizza man endorses the check, he and Ian can share the secret of his name. In cas no one already said this
@Activist:
Correction: he and Lillian. (On last 1%)
@61 Guillermo el chiclero:
I came to the conclusion in college that banks will cash a check whoever it’s made out to so long as it’s the correct account and it’s endorsed correctly. I had a group of friends who would make checks out to each other with names like “Scum Suck” or “Cowboy Crap” and they never had any problems cashing them.
DT: “Crap. Ozob never told us what to do if the guy told us we were under arrest. Where’s the henchman manual?”
Phantom: A lesson for Patrolwoman Han. If you’re going to go in both guns blazing, you have to go in both guns blazing. This is a very literal narrative universe.
C-Shaft: The snowman has coals for eyes, but no mouth. He cannot speak. Unlike Lillian, he tells no lies.
Dustin: I think that just means that Dustdad has to mute the volume, since his knees are already blocking the screen.
H&L: Oh, what to make of this, Hi? Lois’s Big Lebowski fixation can cut both ways. She gets much friskier after a White Russian or two. On the other hand, the party can come screeching to a halt when she points her automatic at rival players and screams “Mark it zero!”
JP: It would be inappropriate to ask these questions in front of Charlotte, unless you’re prepared to hear them declared “jejune” and “pedestrian.”
Luann: Shouldn’t someone do a background check on what happened to Sweet Molly first? Of Mice and Men. Lenny. All I’m saying.
MT: Well I’m guessing that if it starts raining you’ll stand around gawking up at the clouds with your mouth hanging open.
MW: That’s right. Only toned young men in gimp suits get to call Ian “daddy.”
Beetle Bailey Spanish to English,
The Family Circus Spanish to English,
Zits Spanish to Engish,
JP: Examine the difference in facial rendering in each panel. In panel one, Manley hints that Neddy possesses cheekbones. In panel two, Sophie’s face is a perfect oval, like the first step in a SFx “How to Draw an Entitled Bimbo” strip.
This is why I’ve always thought that Soph unpleasantly resembles a selkie, or maybe just a river otter.
Marvin: Marvin, you ignorant twit. The lyric is not “dreaming about a fire” it’s “dream BY a fire”.
@72 Ukulele Ike:
And since when did Neddy and Sophie become hispanic?
@Sequitur: With Marvin I can see it being “dreaming about a fire.” Clutching the bars of his crib, hissing, “Fire, fire, yes, excellent.”
@Sequitur:
Also, I thought the highlight of that song was pretending a snowman is a circus clown, and him inexplicably coming to life to ask if he can officiate a wedding?
RMMD: All I want for Christmas is for this publishing porn to finally end, even if the ending strip turns out to be a visual of a check for a couple of million and this duo drooling in unison as they stare at it.
@76 Anonymous:
I think that actually happened to Baja Gaijin.
love is… a letter from the ass club.
MT: I think it is still too soon for a flash-flooding-in-Texas story. But whatever, Jules, and it’s not like I have any fondness for these ladies.
LUANN: I don’t know how Ox’s family paid for food and vet care for Sweet Molly, but I’m pretty sure Dash will also need food and vet care, and not being able to afford the adoption fee is not a good sign.
I imagine the colorist got today’s Blondie and said, “Aw, %$#&*!”
@Sequitur: Some say Neddy and Sophie’s beloved and long-lost grandfather was Leo Carrillo, who played the role of Pancho on the old Cisco Kid teevee program. Then there are those who say Neddy and Sophie’s beloved and long-lost grandfather was really Adolphe Menjou. (Shrugs)
One might say she has the Boob-On-Neck Plague!

Dirk Twacy Hollistic Defective: Thankfully we have an extreme closeup on Ozob’s face when the sudden command to “DROP THEM!”, made him instinctively drop his drawers. Somewhere the Joker is laughing hysterically.
@Anonymous:
#16. PHANTOM: Kit knows these are Bengali citizens, which is why he didn’t kill them outright. Now he is shooting above them to “get their heads down” knowing the bullets will ricochet off the jail wall and kill several prisoners (and others). “Oopsie”.
@TheDiva:
#44. LUANN: Diva, I’m so out of date last adoption I’d heard was $40. And that was primarily just enough to ensure the adopters earned enough to pay for food, vet care, etc.

#84. AC: those commenting on the high mountains have obviously never had to wear a too small “lift” bra. Undergarments that don’t fit create appearance of tumors.
@GarrisonSkunk: Don’t worry, Bones Malone is going to be fine. Schkrade isn’t going to kill off everybody’s second favorite character (after Hot Witch Queen Azura von Hotsy-Totsy of Kira, naturally) Bonesie probably just has a touch of the mal de mer.
Tomorrow’s Adventure! Flash administers Dramamine.
Beat Up Bailey: Which will happen first? Sarge will eat that tree, or Otto will water it?
Claudia answers the question: “What if Shaggy and Velma had a daughter?”

In the summer, we can build a snowman
And pretend that he’s a circus clown
Ask him, “Are you high?” and he’ll say, “Whoah, man!”
“I don’t think I can ever come back down”
@78 Sequitur: Yes it did. At least that’s what the psychiatrist said when he took me out of the medically-induced coma to stop the uncontrollable hysteria.
@94 Activist: “Undergarments that don’t fit create appearance of tumors.” Playtex never used that as a tagline though probably could push a few more boulder-holders if they did.
So now “Mary Worth” plots have to be pet related as often as possible? Cats, dogs, fish, birds? What, is human behavior just too darn controversial?
@103 made of wince: They don’t know how to make human relationships interesting. The animals are often audience proxies. I know I would love to burst Ian’s self important bubble. By the way, I peeked at tomorrow’s Mary Worth. Another entry I can’t improve upon. Sunny’s been consulting with Libby…
@Activist: I just discovered that Joshua K. at #54 essentially said what I later said, so you certainly owe me no apologies:-).
@made of wince: the hive collective that “Karen Moy” originates from has always struggled to understand humans. Animals are confusing but simpler and the colony has shifted to focusing on them.

@Baja Gaijin:
Yessssssss
That is exactly what I was thinking.
9CL: I laughed at today’s strip, but only in surprise as I expected it would be her hand in his pants.
