BLUE IS THE COLOR OF THE MONTH! PURPLE NO MORE!
Blue won the color contest this month. But only because I banned purple.
VOTE TO CHANGE YOUR HUE TO BLUE!!!
In other news…
First, this comic is brought to you again by the two stalwart supporters The Lurker and Jeremy, who are both Mayor of Pucksburg again. Maybe you’re generous enough to join them! CHECK OUT THE PATREON!!!
As for this comic…
This is what I think they call an interstitial comic: a comic which is perhaps not overly exciting, but gets us from one point to another. And if they don’t call it that, I’ll call it that. Hey, not every comic can have fights and punches and stuff.
Now, I want to hear about 1997.
I suppose there’ll be an empty place at the dinner table this . . . weekend? Canada Day? Thanksgiving? ? ? Hollowe’en? ? ? ? ? Does this guy ever get home anymore?
Not sure any of these Cabal guys ever goes home. Kinda weird, really.
Well, I’ve noted that that guy in particular seems to have a loved one who’s very happy with him. Must send him his meals.
You never think of the toll your evil takes on the people who love you.
Well, maybe. Maybe he just really likes McDonalds.
That would be more in character. But it would also less tragic. Am I picking the Central European taste for tragedy up? Yikes!
A bit of story telling, not just fighting. It had to happen sometime 🙂
I think Blue Phoebe is the most detailed view of her tail we’ve ever seen. Did you have to mentally add to her design for this or had you already figured out how it worked?
Storytelling happens. Sometimes. Mental design for Phoebe always existed. Nothing new.
Hobbes is not amused.
Calvin can’t be far behind.
the guy on the phone: I’m putting in my 2 weeks notice, effective immediately! *scrammed outta town*
Good call.
Me? I just got to say, let them have Winnipeg.
Humans shouldn’t really defend it.
Winnipeg is part of why the U.S. Canadian boarder is where it is.
“I’ve got a tiger by the tail, it’s plain to see / I won’t be much when you get through with me / Well, I’m a-losing weight and a-turning mighty pale / Looks like I’ve got a tiger by the tail.”
I will readily admit that I had to look that one up.
You need to brush up on your Bakersfield country chops. Next thing you’ll say is “Dwight Yoakam who?”
I know OF Dwight Yoakam. But I grew up in a cultural milieu where country music was the enemy. So no, I know no Dwight Yoakam songs.
I could’a used, “They’re gonna put me in the movies / They’re gonna make a big star out of me,” but it doesn’t fit.
Some of us have Buck in our DNA – Owens that is!
And is it a generational thing if you have different visions of songs?
I was raised in the city, in Canada, where country music was not popular. Mine was a childhood where rock, rap and pop got the most focus. Country music existed, and I knew of it, but it was presented to childhood me as goofy music for American hillbillies. Over the ensuing decades, I’ve grown a bit more appreciative of country music. I kinda like some songs. But it’s still hard for me to comprehend the new music landscape where rock is dead and country is the only genre outside of hip hop to hold any cultural sway. Feels a little like we lost the war.
There have always been Canadian country musicians, from Hank Snow to Shania Twain. Besides, country music is the only genuinely successful music genre that is by-adults for-adults.
That explains my dislike of the genre, then. I have a perpetually adolescent mindset.
Love it!
Was this animal overthrow of the cabal not prophesied? It all feels like there should have been a prophecy. With midichlorians.
And then the prophesy would be summarily undone by a sequel series later, just because they didn’t know where else to go narratively. I know the drill.
“C’mere pal. I wanna talk to you about buying season tickets for life to the Hamilton Ti-Cats!” “Um . . . I was just thinking I should! Matter of fact, I’m gonna go wait at the store right now, hey Martinez, Green, wait up I’m coming with!!!”
Tiger-Cats eat ‘em raw.
KITTY!!
The famous kitty, no less.
“Nice kitty, nice kitty, please don’t bite. Don’t spoil your dinner!” LOL!
Hopefully recently fed. Hopefully.
That Suited goon is wearing a Lavender Tie… He deserves to be mauled by a tiger for that sin!
Well, all the head dudes of the Cabal have pops of purple. It’s a thing to make them stand out.
Ah, you sweet summer child… It can always get worse….
Too true.
For example. There could be snakes.
Or monkey-bears. I’m still surprised there are any left, after they ruined Tracee’s car.
True, but they’re not part of the novel I’m quoting.
