Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, 1/30/16

Maybe if Hootin’ Holler’s lone clergyman weren’t a theological fraud, the town’s inhabitants would be a little more familiar with Genesis 9:11, where God promises that, among all the methods He has at His disposal for wiping out all life on Earth, mass flooding was the one He was specifically renouncing. Anyway, don’t worry, Snuffy, Parson Tuttle is probably just putting some personal touches on the nice yacht he was able to buy with all your community’s contributions.

The Gil Thorp football season plot has been a disappointment in a number of ways, and one of the disappointments has been that we were seemingly promised some Marty Moon action but he’s barely appeared at all. Still, I like the fact that the storyline both began and ended with him drinking alone and talking ruefully to nobody, because it helps me imagine that he’s doing that pretty much any time we don’t see him on-panel.

Parson Tuttle may not know the bible very well, but he sure knows all the verses that would get him out of giving anybody any money.
