If that's not adjusted for inflation it's the equivalent of almost $900 today, which seems like a pretty substantial price.

For that amount of marble, sure, but for pulling up 2200 headstones, slicing them in half, and then reinstalling them?

edit: oh, new page. Okay - I'd been planning to, when I finished with my little archive of Keeping Up With the Joneses, to post the rest of those Inside Woody Allen strips. I might also - or instead - do Tad Dorgan's Judge Rummy, about an alcoholic philandering dog who is a municipal court judge.

That isn’t even the biggest oof because it’s missing a word. His fans used to refer to him as Honourable Master, or HM for short.

The cable system, at a summer camp, for kids, where the bins or whatever they are are low enough to hit people standing on the ground in the head, moves fast enough to snap somebody's neck.

this camp is a loving deathtrap even ignoring that this is Murder Hell World.

The woman there being insulted really caught me off guard. We've seen Willy pick up chicks before and he's always pretty transparently honest about not being the commitment-prone type and that he sees sex as purely recreational. My guess is that since this is an adaptation of the first story that characterization hadn't actually been established yet. Presumably O' Donnell added it in later stories because he realized not doing so kind of made Willy look like a dick.

I think it's more that "passing the time" is an extremely dismissive thing to say, like as though he may as well be playing patience or watching TV, and even if it's a casual, one-off thing you'd still like to think you made a bit more impact than that.

Fun fact about prison life: the notches on the wall are pretty common, I and others did them when I served time back in 07. But we had cork-boards in the room so you jotted on a paper stuck on there. I framed mine with a bunch of doodles and my roomie saw that and wanted one. After that people payed me a cigarette to make one.
Closest I've been to being a cartoonist. A whole load of hidden Transformers and Ninja Turtles. Also the bots from MST3K.

You need to know that Mysta Chimera was previously a criminal named Mindy Ermine and that she has no memory of that life, but otherwise I think it's pretty straightforward? Mysta has been kidnapped by someone who has some kind of grudge against her from her former life.

I'm pretty sure the culprit in this Minit Mystery is Dick Tracy; we can see him eating the jelly doughnut in panel three.

I get the same feeling every time I try to read modern Dick Tracy. Weirdly enough, even if I've skipped a week or two, I never have any trouble figuring out what's going on in either of the classic Dick Tracies.

Funny thing is, when you phrase it like that, I can see a man being offended. A woman? Not so much. Which seems like a very sexist assumption on my part although I can't quite pinpoint why or in which direction.
