I’ve given it a bit of thought and I’ve come to the conclusion that “The condo board agreed we can create a supplemental food supply for residents!” is the most insane way to say that you’ve gotten approval to plant a vegetable garden. “Our wise board recognizes that the Strait of Hormuz crisis will merely accelerate the ongoing collapse of our civilization, dependent as it is on cheap fuel to connect far-flung producers and consumers,” Mary says. “Soon we’ll require local sources of calories for those lucky enough to be inside the Charterstone walls. All hail the board!

“And the attention’s never going to waver! I’ve already developed a new business plan that assumes that every day from now on will see as many customers as today, and I’ve taken out a massive loan to fund it.”

Today’s Andy Capp serves two different and distinct audiences: (1) Brits opposed to socialized medicine who will shove it in the face of the average taxpayer and say “Do you want your National Insurance contributions wasted keeping this lout alive?”, and (2) perverts who have been waiting since this strip’s debut in 1957 to see Andy with his shirt off.

Mud has always had a vague air of menace since he first showed up in this strip, and while it’s waxed and waned, many of us have been wondering “Is this guy ever gonna beat the shit out of someone or what?” We may at last get an answer!

You ever get curious about what the Crock guys in the isolated guard tower do with themselves all day? It’s pills! The answer is that they’re doin’ pills!

Oh, I had sort of forgotten that Lonnie didn’t just turn to blackmail because he was evil; he was actually acting out of financial desperation, which hasn’t gone away just because Mae Mae decided she doesn’t care about privacy, actually. Ha ha, look at him burying his face in his hands as his world falls apart around him! This scheme was his last hope!

Part of the whole deal of newspaper comics is that their characters are at least a little bit silly. Are they really qualified to opine on the big issues of the day? Shouldn’t they simply sit silently and learn more about all this complicated stuff from their betters on cable news talk shows?

Tommy! No! No!! Not your beautiful locks! Please don’t take this route to self-harm! Do drugs instead! Do all the drugs you want!
