Pluggers, 6/17/17

Maybe it’s my own plugger-esque simplicity, but I genuinely get a kick out of the “Pluggers seems to forget that its main characters are animal-people and that introducing actual animals into the narrative is confusing” installments of Pluggers, and today might be my favorite yet. Ha ha, it’s funny because pluggers save money on grooming by just stripping naked and letting their friends hose them down in a bucket in their backyard!

Hi and Lois, 6/17/17

Big shoutout to Hi and Lois for providing the grimmest “punchline” the comics will see this month, probably! Ha ha, it’s funny because Hi is sadly staring into the fire, reflecting on the unbridgeable emotional chasm between himself and his family!

Dennis the Menace, 6/17/17

“Was that menacing? Is nitpicking on etymology menacing? Jesus Christ, I’m exhausted, it’s the weekend, lemme just … lemme just leave it at that, OK? Stepladders, I dunno man.”

Dennis the Menace, 6/2/17

Kids tend to love the Peter Pan story in an uncomplicated way, but there’s definitely something more than a little sinister about a boy who spends eternity on the verge of adolescence. Just something to think about here, as we see a girl who may be starting to fancy Dennis a little bit broaching the subject of the changes that will someday be happening to their bodies, only to have him respond with some inane blather about accents. The sad thing is, as Dennis enters his 56th year of being 5 or 6, he’s got a much firmer grip on his own reality than Gina does.

Ha ha, look at the principal’s face in panel one! That’s a man who did not ask about how Les’s new book was going and is not pleased that he’s being given information on the subject without his consent.

You know the old saying, Niki: It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up that gets you angrily pointed at.

Dennis the Menace, 5/28/17

If we’re going to cast Dennis as an Old Testament King, there are a lot of opportunities for menacing and I’m sad to see them being ignored. You know what makes you a true menace? When you see a naked lady on a roof and you get so horny for her that you seduce her and then when you get her pregnant you arrange to have her husband killed while he’s away fighting the war that you started, that’s what. We don’t even get to see him cut Mr. Wilson’s head off, for pete’s sake!

Crock, 5/28/17

In today’s Crock, an outpost of the brutal colonial regime is about to be overrun by freedom fighters, and so the French officers within need to destroy all their documentation, to erase evidence of their awful crimes against humanity.
