Ready or not, Friday has arrived, and with it this week’s funniest comment, chosen by me:
“If you ‘BOOM!’ like a thunder machine when someone tackles you in football, talk to your doctor to see if ‘the emergency room’ is right for you! –Victor Von
“There are tight ponytails and then there are hairstyles that qualify as abuse of one’s own hair and scalp.” –Joe Blevins
“‘This is exciting!’ Finding typos, she means. That’s the most thrill she’ll have from the book. And from Augie in general.” –Ettorre
“As Olive communicates telepathically with animals, can Toby talk with comestibles? I’m sure that Mary’s muffins have some tales to tell.” –Gil Bates
“The important thing is that by calling it a ranch, we pay the agricultural property tax rate, which is much lower than the residential rate.” –Ken
“I must say that after weeks of Mary Worth’s ‘unsettlingly mature children will lead us into a brighter future,’ I’m refreshed and renewed by the Judge Parker approach of ‘unsettingly mature children are very annoying and can find their own way home if they know so damn much about how to properly exploit landholdings.’” –Navigator
“THEY BROUGHT THE LUGGAGE CART WITH THEM to his home where he’s prepared for his sensual experience by putting a wooden chair next to a table that has a solitary glass of wine.” –Handsome Harry Backstayge, Idol of a Million Other Women
“Archie had two jobs in this strip: look worried because his parents are arguing, and smile at the tension-relieving punchline. Let’s see how he did, shall we?” –Dan
“So this thriller features a single mom on the dating scene, and multiple publishers are fighting to publish it. It has sex scenes, right? Obviously, it has sex scenes. Augie chastely kisses Summer good night and then makes excuses to go home and write fantasies about her doppelgänger. I can’t wait for Summer’s reaction.” –Nevin, on Patreon
“I mean, it could be a character inspired by Summer, or it could be just the fact that her personal situation is not all that unique? I’m not throwing any shade on her, I’m just saying it’s probably a very dull book.” –pugfuggly
“Augie [during the inevitable confrontation]: ‘Well the deal is that I have to change just enough details not to pay you and…’” –2+2=7
“The most accurate detail here is that we can’t actually see any apartments on the canal side, or really any buildings at all. In Hartlepool, a single run-down boathouse still no doubt reeking of bunker oil and fish guts counts as an entire luxury housing district.” –Schroduck
“I think Gertie is just showing off that she can hoist a book aloft when it’s longer than her torso.” –Artist formerly known as Ben
“Even if Toby is too dumb to think the bird will have trouble getting the seeds from the bag (everybody calls her ‘bird-brain’, yet she can, so of course birdie will too!), she ought to dump out the seeds in order to, y’know, not litter with the bag. She apparently failed those kindergarten lessons, folks!” –CanuckDownSouth
“Moy must have gotten letters from her loyal reader complaining that the balloon scene was too tense, so decided to tone it down to ‘50 mg of valium’ levels. Next week: Toby stands up.” –Ken
