Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, 6/13/25

It’s never entirely clear whether Hootin’ Holler was cut off from the rest of the Newnited States by some abrupt cataclysm or a gradual societal decline, but one thing is certain: while financial transactions there are still notionally measured in terms of cash, the reality is that the local economy is increasingly barter-based.

Family Circus, 6/13/25

Each of the Keane Kids has their own assigned role in the family, and Dolly’s is to be a fucking snitch. She even narcs on herself! Sad!

Hey, bench kid who probably has a name but I haven’t bothered to learn it: you shouldn’t look so smug either! None of you should! None of you have anything to be smug about! You all have bad personalities and are very unappealing!

(UPDATE: HA HA YES IT’S WARREN IT’S RIGHT THERE WHOOPS)

Wilbur appears to be smiling guilelessly, but he has to know at some level that this conversation is not going great. That’s why he’s holding that muffin at the ready in the second panel. If Mary starts pressing him too hard, he can always lob it at her face and make a break for it in the confusion.

Wow, look at how genuinely upset Jenny’s dad is in the final panel here! A real important thing about the comic strip Marvin is that none of the characters in it like each other, despite the fact that most of them are related.

“Hey ladies! I know you’ve been through some tough times … so do you want a murder truck? Don’t worry, I’m sure once you dig into the details you’ll find it’s the kind of murder you’d approve of.”

Really loving Dustin’s facial expression in the second panel here. “Ah,” he’s thinking, “he doesn’t love her either. He may hate her as much as he hates me. It’s not great, but it’s kind of satisfying to know, honestly.”

Dawn’s face in panel two here is almost as good. That’s the face of a college student who is absolutely going to choke down the soggy, room-temperature sandwich she’s been carrying around in her backpack all day, just to spite the woman who was loudly fucking her dad most of the previous evening. The fact that she’ll save herself from being poisoned is just a bonus, assuming she wouldn’t prefer a quick death to enduring the rest of Belle’s visit.

Marvin, 4/17/25

This isn’t really about facial expressions, just about how Bitsy the dog is infested with parasites and that makes him an outcast from dog society. His facial expression in panel two, as he contemplates the fact that everyone is disgusted by him, is kind of poignant, I guess.
