Comment of the Week

Is Dr. Jeff's 'again’ meant to indicate that he's already (willfully?) forgotten what Mary's told him, or does it display his belief that Wilbur's life is a karmic circle of disasters that are superficially varied but basically the same thing happening to him over and over?

“Unfortunately, I also inherited her rare medical condition, which means that my thin, reed-like neck and limbs aren’t able support their own weight and thus I need a powered exoskeleton suit to live. The good news is that more and more films are being made in which the female lead wears a spacesuit throughout, so my career is really starting to take off.”

Oh no

Oh NO

Sophie has been dragged from that car wreck and kidnapped by a sinister she-villain known only as…

THE BUTTRESS

Get it because…

…ess is a feminine ending…

…and…

I mean you get it, right

I’m sorry

(I’m not really sorry)

So the Morgans seem determined to buy a bloated modern house instead of a fusty, antique-cluttered Victorian with bad romantic karma. But even soulless McMansions from the ’90s have a little character, as Sarah is discovering in the delightful little “hidden” “awesome” “kid-sized only” “playroom” under the stairs that someone less whimsical might call “storage space” or “a terrible accident waiting to happen.” Anyway, note the little “SECRET CLUBHOUSE FOR KIDS ONLY SIGN” already hanging up on the wall, indicating that the “little character” I mentioned in the previous sentence is the ghost of the six-year-old who died after getting trapped in there in 2004.

Haha, I absolutely love the emotional turn this strip takes in the final panel. It would’ve been easy to have our lady bird deliver the punchline with heavy-lidded, languid bitterness, and maybe that was her intention; instead, upon just thinking about her ex-husband, her eyes bug out with anger as she realizes, in a rush of emotion, that she isn’t past the awful end of that relationship, and probably never will be.

Pluggers, 10/4/16

Little-known fact: about ten years ago, I made a list of signs that will indicate that we live in a truly degraded age, and “Pluggers does a Viagra joke” was pretty close to the top! Anyway, pluggers gave up on sex years ago, and their main hope for a big romantic encounter is that their joints stop hurting for a few hours, at least enough so they can focus on what their date is saying.

Hey all! As noted Friday, comments weren’t working for people using the mobile version of the site for a while last week, but the indefatigable Adam Norwood has now gotten that fixed! If this was a problem for, you please check them out to see if it remains a problem (it shouldn’t, but you might need to clear your cache to get the fix to take hold). Apologies again.
