Crock, 12/10/12

As if the poor colonized subjects of French North Africa don’t have enough to worry about, now they have to deal with an outbreak of sexually aggressive camels.

Why should the men of Hootin’ Holler bother investing in machinery that will lift them out of a subsistence economy if their wives do all the manual labor?

Evan and Margo’s sexual banter is pretty much as gross as you’d expect.

Good news, everybody! Jim has given up trying to turn Dawn into his sister à la Judy/Madeleine in Vertigo so that he can have sex with her. Now he’s just decided that his sister’s damned spirit will be his familiar for all time, clearing obstacles from his path until the day comes when he can join her and his arm in hell.

I mean, it’s pretty obvious that it’s the bar, right? Or maybe the bottle of liquor, or just intoxication as an abstract concept? You can keep “Miss Buxley Wednesday”; “The Halftracks hate each other so, so much on Friday but sometimes on Saturday” is clearly where the action is.

Good news, everybody! One-armed Jim didn’t just happen to wander down to the pier because he cured himself of his deep-rooted psychological problems with sheer willpower. No, he overcame his deep terror of the sea and all it represents (i.e., boat-caused amputation and/or death) especially to see Dawn, and rather than using one of the many communication methods she made available to him, he decided to just lurk down by the water until she showed up, so he could startle and unsettle her. Add this to the “I want to protect/sex you because you look like my dead sister” and “I only like you as a friend, that’s why I’m calling you and texting you and emailing you a zillion times a day” and we know that this relationship can only be healthy from here on in!

Well, here you have it: what I’m pretty sure is the first Crock I’ve ever laughed at unironically. Naturally it somehow arrives more than six months after the strip stopped being published, which I don’t understand any more than you do.
