Baby Blues, 3/13/20

Wow, why would you ask Wanda what she did on her big date night with Darryl if you already knew what they did on their date? And why is this whole community whispering together to keep track of Darryl and Wanda’s movements? I’ve been reading this strip for more than a year and this is only the third time I’ve been moved to comment on it, so trust me when I say they are not that interesting.

This is Bull’s CTE buddy, who just got word from his doctor that his decline due to CTE is accelerating, and despite the fact that he has, I’m pretty sure, a wife of his own, after getting this news he decided to go hang out with Linda, who was widowed when Bull drove his car off a cliff, due to CTE. “These are the super-depressing videos Bull liked to watch in the years leading up to his suicide,” Linda says, “so if you’re trying to psyche yourself up to kill yourself, you can borrow them if you want.”

Mark Trail, 3/11/20

Wow, some wild swings in tone happening here as the Mark Trail art, formerly wooden and repetitive, becomes mysteriously and surreally fluid. One of the gang of anti-orphan bullies suddenly becomes very intent on Rusty joining his clique, eyes bugging out derangedly as he makes his pitch. But as Rusty’s sly expression in panel three indicates, he would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven, by which I mean he’d rather be in a position of strength, hanging out with his dad and the world’s saddest orphan, than being at the bottom of the pecking order among the cool kids. Finally, Rusty will have his own Rusty!

Oh my god, check it out, June is trying to get Tildy to slow down and think through her impulsive decision to move out of the Morgans’ house and shack up with her ex who she hasn’t seen in decades, and Rex is trying to physically restrain her. “Don’t you dare, June! Her bags are packed! Her bags are already packed, we’re so close!”

Gasoline Alley, 3/11/20

Ha ha, it’s funny because, like most service industry workers, Baleen doesn’t have any paid sick leave, so she has to choose between working while injured or infectious and financial ruin!

Daddy Daze, 3/10/20

Ah, yes, what you’ve all been wondering about the Daddy Daze Daddy ever since I started covering this strip: since he lives in a weird insular world inhabited by only him and a preverbal infant onto whom he projects various insane motivations, what does he do when his ex-wife, with whom he shares custody, has the baby? Well, apparently he goes down to his local coffee shop and mopes with a local goth (?) who he’s friends with, or maybe it’s just some guy he sat down next to and started talking to, who can tell, really.

“Could she be making a hasty choice that she’ll come to regret? That’s very possible, but I can’t emphasize enough that once she walks out the door, that will be very, very much cease to be my problem.”

Family Circus, 3/10/20

Hey, remember last week when Billy realized that his mom might capable of inspiring erotic thoughts? Weird how he’s been spending this week imagining various over-the-top ways his father could die. Probably a coincidence!

Oh God, has Toni become a blogger? Who knew she could stoop so low?
