Dennis the Menace, 6/2/17

Kids tend to love the Peter Pan story in an uncomplicated way, but there’s definitely something more than a little sinister about a boy who spends eternity on the verge of adolescence. Just something to think about here, as we see a girl who may be starting to fancy Dennis a little bit broaching the subject of the changes that will someday be happening to their bodies, only to have him respond with some inane blather about accents. The sad thing is, as Dennis enters his 56th year of being 5 or 6, he’s got a much firmer grip on his own reality than Gina does.

Ha ha, look at the principal’s face in panel one! That’s a man who did not ask about how Les’s new book was going and is not pleased that he’s being given information on the subject without his consent.

You know the old saying, Niki: It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up that gets you angrily pointed at.

I’ve never been fully on board with the theory that the Keane Kompound is a generations-long project to produce a racially pure strain of humanity via extensive inbreeding, but today’s panel is certainly another piece of evidence pointing in that direction!

Ha ha, we’ve been so focused on “Will Derek cheat on his wife or won’t he???” that we’ve missed the fact that Toby’s already slept with half the dudes on this boat!

Canine horniness: just another reason why law enforcement in Hootin’ Holler is so slipshod.

Dick Tracy, 5/31/17

I freely admit that I don’t understand even a little what exactly Dick Tracy is doing with this “the Margies are all named Margie and it’s cute and they committed some mild CosplayCon grifting and also HARBOR AN UNREASONING HATRED OF THE JEWS” plot. I will say that Margie’s “I know how your people work, Catchem,” doesn’t ring true to me. First of all, everyone knows it’s “you people,” and second of all, most anti-Semites who “know how you people work” would probably assume that the sinister Jews are pulling the strings from behind the scenes, probably in a bank somewhere, rather than getting their hands dirty as beat cops. And yet isn’t that just any despised minority’s dilemma? Nothing will be good enough for those who hate you. Sam Catchem wanted so badly to be accepted as an ordinary Neo-Chicago police officer that he dresses like a damn leprechaun, for God’s sake, and still he catches this kind of abuse from the Margies of the world.

Ha ha, it’s funny because depression is quite common amongst older people, especially if, like Mr. Wavering, they don’t have a partner, but Trixie is too naive to understand this!

Mary Worth, 5/31/17

I know we’re pretty deeply committed to the Katie-Derek-Esmé love triangle plot right now, but, you know, if Toby were to accidentally purchase a cursèd Mayan artifact as a souvenir and bring it back to Charterstone, leaving a trail of gruesome, mysterious deaths her wake, I certainly wouldn’t object.
