To be as fair as possible to Les: grief is hard. Grieving is hard. It's a difficult process I don't wish on anyone.

But also this is the funniest thing I've ever seen, and I NEED to mock it, and to share it with others. Holy poo poo.

Strictly speaking the joke is a play on a term that roughly means catch and release. But once I realized the English name of the fish Dharma references I couldn't help myself.

Yeah grieving is one of those things that everyone goes through differently, there's no 'rule' to it.

But goddamnit I loving hate that snarky half smile that Les has in every final panel. WTF is so ironic about watching Big Bang Theory?!

Okay, I get that Rip Haywire doesn't have the strongest continuity, but I'm lost. How did Rip's dad figure out that someone was giving Jenkins info and that it was Breezy? And are we due for another continuity reboot where Rip goes with Cobra?

Look at the newspaper vending machine. This is the only intimation we get that Wally Winkerbean is a prisoner for the second time before a "surprise" strip that has "Lefty" Becky married to John Howard.

Anyway, in Juliet Jones, we see Devon's finest dining experience.

I was really confused by that phrasing as well. Clearly Les has the bag and box right there. Does he mean they never looked inside it?

Did Batiuk actually say what the "promise to Lisa" was specifically? If it was in one of the lead-up strips then it just zoomed past me.

Something about how love means never having to say you're sorry, or whatever 70s romance movie cliche he thinks he's emulating.

The promise was to scatter her ashes in Central Park. Which I'm pretty sure is illegal, as is transporting human remains on commercial US flights; he means they didn't check inside the bag at the airport so he got away with it.

I looked it up, and you actually can:


Funeral Home Website posted:

When flying with the cremated remains on a domestic flight, three things are required. Cremated remains must be carried on, and cannot be checked. Cremated remains must be in a container that can be x-rayed. Finally, cremated remains must be accompanied by the Certificate of Cremation (official document produced by the crematory). While flying with cremated remains on an international flight, different rules apply and you should contact the Consulate and/or embassy of that country.

Fair enough; perhaps Les was just too much of a chump to get proper documentation.

I know scattering at sea within X miles of the coast is the boring kind of illegal where it's part of standard ecological laws but nobody's gonna make a fuss unless you make a big deal about it. Don't announce what you're doing beforehand at the wake or post it on Youtube and they'll just shrug.

And no, the funeral director did NOT tell us that and did NOT give those as specific examples he'd seen where people screwed up.
