Blondie, 4/3/26

I regret to inform you that Dagwood and Blondie’s daughter is dating a guy with broccoli hair now. Also she’s doing “healthy lifestyle blogs,” but you already knew that. The broccoli hair guy thing is new, though. It’s new and it’s not good.

“Hah! Good one. I wasn’t in the room when you had your long conversation with Mud covering the topic of your weight and your feelings about it, so I’m not really sure where you are on that and I’m not going to engage any further with that joke. Anyway, do you want to come back to my office and have sex or what?”

Big news, everyone! Loretta is going to kill her husband and herself, with a bomb!

Lockhorns, 3/16/26

Every once in a while the Lockhorns will deviate from their usual laser focus on Leroy and Loretta’s mutual antagonism and just do a “Ha ha, Leroy is a doofus” panel, and honestly I don’t care for it. At least this one includes Loretta looking at her husband with an expression of absolute despair, as she reflects upon exactly what type of man she chose to spend the balance of her adult life with.

Archie, 3/16/26

I was a pretty obsessive Archie Comics reader as a kid, but nevertheless there are bits of Archieverse lore that I’ve learned from the twentysomething-year-old newspaper strips currently in reruns. I don’t think I knew that Reggie was the editor of the student newspaper, for instance, nor that he was that classic type of late ’90s/early ’00s tech guy who had the skills to create an interactive website in the Web 1.0 era but was also obsessive about online privacy.

“Anyway, the one week I did it on the computer was last week, and it turns out computers are amazing. I’m definitely selling this drawing board, for a lot of money!”

I love that Leroy has decided to turn what could’ve been a brief snide remark into an act out, as if he could peel off the vinyl siding to find the giant gumdrops underneath. Never doubt this man’s commitment to a bit, or to the larger bit that is his wildly dysfunctional marriage!

Hi and Lois, 3/5/26

This is no doubt supposed to be a boomer slam on “kids today and their participation trophies, it makes them weak,” but that’s undermined by how happy and well-adjusted Ditto and his friend look. Yeah, he’s great at participation! And who wouldn’t want to be an enthusiastic participant in all that life has to offer?

[Coach Thorp is still without his best three players.] “Hey, you guys considered showing depth of character and winning?” [Final: Tilden 54, Milford 60!] The man’s still got it!

“Also, he’s an adult! Why did you think this was even vaguely appropriate?”
