Item one: Hey, I got quoted in a USA Today article about For Better Or For Worse! Um, I’m talking smack about Beetle Bailey in my quote. There’s context. You can also listen to the article’s author, Steve Friess, interviewing Lynn Johnston … if you dare.

Item two: Faithful reader Keg of Curd has created the ultimate Pluggers randomizer. Keep reloading the page to match up Pluggers panels with a set of captions that pretty much distills the feature down to its bleak essentials.

Item three: Faithful reader JamesinMaine demonstrates that, despite all logic, there are certain advantages to being Clambake:

Item four: Faithful reader Mooncattie took his Gail Martin t-shirt to fabulous Niagara Falls!

More bizarre, baffling merchandise like this is available at the Comics Curmudgeon store.

For Better or for Worse, 9/9/07

Awww — cute! And a refreshing change from what Wobbin usually carries in those pants!

Is it wrong to hope for poison ivy?

Rex Morgan, M.D., 9/9/07

Awww — sweet! Milton Avery has been in a life raft in the North Atlantic since friggin’ March (I kid you not — you could look it up!). And it looks like he scwatched his widdle captain-of-industry nose — no doubt while gorging himself on the flesh of his fellow survivors. Meanwhile, the crisis is averted and Heather’s litmus dress is back to alkali.

Apartment 3G, 09/09/07

Aww – crap. Today’s Apartment 3G just summarizes preparations for the coming train wreck foreshadowed in panel #5 – Eric (Tim? Anthony? Who the hell cares?) is in love — but not with Margo (gasp-p-p-p!!!)!!! Wine and steaks will please Margo . . . but only blood will sate her! Cue Tim, Nora, China, blah, blah, blah . . . hey, I wonder what’s going on in Judge Parker? Oh yeah. . . . nothing.

Hey, everybody — Josh is back! Look for Comments of the Week Sunday evening, and a return to our regularly scheduled programming on Monday.

Thank you all for a delightful week, especially Galactic Emperor Chennux for giving me a break on Thursday sparing my sorry hide. Thanks to everybody who contributed to the Garage Sale — and see you in the comments!

Gil Thorp, 9/6/07

…AND CULLY VALE STOMPS OFF, SILHOUETTED BY THE LIGHT OF THE VILLAGERS’ TORCHES!

Cathy, 9/6/07

EARTHERS! EXPLAIN TO CHENNUX! IS CLEANING OUT CATHY’S ‘STORAGE ROOM’ THE SAME AS ‘CLEANING JUNE’S GARAGE’ IN REX MORGAN MD? IF SO, EVEN CHENNUX GOES, “EWWWWWW!”

END TRANSMISSION!
