I met Pat at New York Con and he drew a little picture of Mooch saying 'yesh!' for me. He was very cool.  I GENERALLY agree that too much soap-boxing in comic strips is not a good thing, but I support animal welfare (not PETA-grade, thank you), so I forgive Mutts for using the strip to encourage shelter adoption. Somehow Pat achieves it without being sanctimonious.

blinkeve1826 posted:Wait, is this shopped, or were the people in the second panel DRAWN to be all In Lynn's defense, I think the furthest to the right is actually a digital camera over his face. The only way the "punchline" makes sense to me is if that feminine-looking guy is a shaved, badly drawn Granthony. If he clipped the 'stache, it would be quite the emotional event!

Let's see what else is happening in the comic universe. When Ben comes home, it'll be three strips at most until Bernice suffocates him with a pillow going "I'm a good sister, I'm a good sister" over and over again in a soft voice.  She managed to make Cathy look uglier than usual. How is that possible?  I'm sure he was looking forward to those roast carrots.

/\/\/\ No one else would react in complete and utter shock that she attended the wedding like she told him she would a week earlier. Plus he's always been the best at mentally perving her. Crumbunist posted:
Maybe he cares about global warming and doesn't want to support deforestation and the inefficient use of greenhouse gas producing fuel just to have a carrot roast. Or maybe he's rushing to make sure that everyone in the local hospital is back on their ventilators or all the locally grown organic produce is being properly refrigerated.

This whole power outtage scheme is a little to idealistic, like those faux-intellictual highschools kids who think there would be instant peace around the world if we gave up government and religion. Highschoolers and my roommate, that is. Kinda makes me glad I was gone for three weeks. sund posted:No one else would react in complete and utter shock that she attended the wedding like she told him she would a week earlier.

But.. IS that Granthony? That can't be him without the Pornstache (tm) Oh. It is. If you squint reeeeeally closely, you can see the age spots - I mean freckles. Lynn's pulling a Pygmalion here. It doesn't explain Liz's reaction at all. Surely, like the rest of us, she'd be ending her little Precious Moments Inner Monologue with "..wedding are.. full of very pers- WTF??!" Unless she KNEW about this because in a couple of days time, she'll receive an envelope in the mail containing the contents of Granthony's razor, which she will then sew into the lining of her old bunny and start sleeping with it between her thighs... oh, the places that mo' could have gone.... Or is this the wedding where all Liz's old suitors show up and the first one to remove Mason's goolies with his bare hands wins her? As for Luann - ah, it's so cute when men try to draw women applying makeup.

I used to read Prince Valiant in the sunday section just because it was so bad. there's just something very off-putting about the whole thing. My new love has to be Lio. It's running for a couple months in our paper and they're gathering reader response. I can't live without Lio.
