Welp, looks like now that ol’ Greg is riding into town with his James Bond money, Eric realizes he can’t compete in terms of providing Margo with all she ever wanted, and so he’s out. He and Greg aren’t even going to talk to each other! Because if there’s one thing we all wanted as this storied strip rides into the sunset, it’s a complete lack of conflict of any kind.

If you need more evidence of how desperately poor Hootin’ Holler is, check out today’s strip, in which the community’s chief law enforcement officer can be bribed for a mere $5.

I’m gonna pass over the extremely half-assed costuming going on here (hey guys, zombies have rotting flesh and they don’t speak English, this is wholly inaccurate) and point out that Thirsty is looking pretty rough. Glowing nose, multi-day beard growth — and wouldn’t Irma normally be the one handing out candy? I’m assuming she left him and he’s been on a multi-day bender ever since.

Awwwwwwwwww yeah, another boat explosion in Mark Trail. That’s the stuff, baby. Keep it coming. Keep it coming.

YEAH GOSH WHY WOULD THE HEAD OF SECURITY SIDE WITH HUGH INSTEAD OF MILTON

SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT

MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE MILTON IS VISIBLY NON COMPOS MENTIS AND HIS WIFE JUST CHANGED ALL THE COMPANY PASSWORDS, THROWING THE WHOLE BUSINESS INTO CHAOS

WHEREAS HUGH HAS THE BACKING OF THE COMPANY’S SHAREHOLDERS

I DUNNO, I’M JUST SPITBALLING HERE

Oh man, kind of a bummer that Margo’s mom’s psychic Latina (?) powers worked to save her daughter’s dumb roommate but not her daughter! Though maybe that’s because, as you can tell by comparing that strip from 2007 to this one, Margo’s mother has been replaced by someone else entirely.

Gotta assume that Mason is towards the depressive end of his bipolar cycle, and was just overcome with exhaustion and ennui such that he had to pause for a few seconds between the syllables “bipolar” to gather his energy. Because otherwise Cindy would’ve just blurted something out in mid-word, and that doesn’t make any sense at all!

Pluggers, 10/9/15

Pluggers don’t just give companies money in exchange for goods or services; they construct an identity by conspicuously displaying loyalty to their favorite brands. Pluggers, so silly, amiright? (Haha, just kidding, we all construct our identities out of our relationships with corporate entities to one degree or another. The matrix of capitalism is inescapable!)

Haha, fellas, turns out if you want to have a romantic relationship with someone you have to do things that interest them! Women, whaddyagonnado?

As that coin hit the water deep in the wishing well, all across the world, all at once, the innumerable cloacae of innumerable birds squeezed shut forever. A few hours later, the birds began to explode in bursts of guts and feces and feathers — at first just one here and there, then more and more frequently, until everyone on the planet was deafened by the awful, repulsive noise.
