Wizard of Id has succintly portrayed the difference between Early and Late Medieval modes of warfare: while his Dark Age companions are boldly dying for their feudal lord, the canny Sir Rodney treats war as a profession. He is akin to the condottiere who would dominate later Italian warfare. That sly look and crooked smile is that of a man who sees human corpses as nothing more than money in his purse, arguably far more barbaric than his predecessors. But trebuchets suck for hitting single guys so we're probably about to see Sir Smarty Pants' insides in spite of his historically progressive role.

I’m back, everybody! Our week in Hawaii was a bit soggy at times, but I shan’t complain further about it. At least we weren’t on Oahu, with the open rivers of sewage and the hey hey.
But now I’m back and at your Curmudgeoning disposal. And hey, did I miss you guys?
Yeah, so, um, we’re going on vacation again. To a little place we like to call … Hawaii. Pretty good deal.
Can’t say I’ll be blogging from there, though, so you’ll just have to get along without me until April 3.
What’s that you say? You’re sick of me going on vacation all the time? You can’t handle another week without your Curmudgeonly fix?
OK, just kidding. I just loved this panel so very much. Don’t get that hangdog look like Scott has. I’ll miss you too, I promise! See you in a week.

So wait, the new Mary Worth storyline is about the sex lives of unattractive middle-aged empty nesters? Oh, hell, no, I am not down for that. You hear me, Mary Worth? You’re on your own if you go down that road.
[Long pause.]
Oh, we both know I don’t mean that.

A comic pooping double-score today. Niiice.
Also also: Why do cartoon moms get all gothy before bed? It’s kinda creepin’ me out.
