So Shakey walks in, tells Tess that he has evidence to counter what shes provided in this case, offers to take a bribe to withhold it, and gets told off. Then he threatens to blackmail her with the rumor that she is withholding evidence. I dont think hes very good at blackmail or bribery. Edit: And classic Tracy has just tipped off the crooks that something is wrong because now the dog wont have a message attached. Good job.

Bad Machinery quote:Today, the kidnapper is revealed. Did you guess who the blue hoodie brute was correctly? Feel free to crow if you did. AWK! I went on a day trip down to London today, and I stopped by the Cartoon Museum (it's a thing!), which was a nice diversion. I saw a classic Fred Bassett strip, for one thing. I didn't wind up nabbing a souvenir, but when I was at the train station before coming home, something caught my eye...   A Moomin-themed cupcake box!

GoComics recommended it to me as something it thinks I would like, but then GoComics thinks I like Luann and Intelligent Life. So who knows! Looks mildly amusing. I liked this dumb gag:

In the end it turns out that all the Retail characters wasted 14 years of their life for working in a job they hate, when they could have gotten a better one after a week of searching.

I know it won't happen, but I hope that in Mark Trail what happens is that Mark and co pack up, do whatever nature stuff for a few weeks or something then head back to the states where his boss immediately lays into him for doing a lovely job because, guess what, Vargo lived, dug himself out of the snow and everything, and was somewhat dismayed to see that no one had tried to help him and had instead just packed up and left. He is well and alive after coordinating with rescue teams, but his social media following has exploded after his near death. His followers have also made #fuckmarktrail a trending tag after it came out that Mark had kinda not bothered to try and save Vargo. Because these last couple comics seem to be trying to say that even if Vargo did survive its for the best Mark doesn't search for him. Because it would be embarrassing for him/he would obviously abandon the life he has to reinvent himself because ???

Why is Genie suddenly acting unsympathetic towards Dr. Vargo? She enabled him for years about the yeti, so Genie comes across as a huge rear end in a top hat for implying the shame would make Dr. Vargo delude himself into some new identity. Just say you think she's got a drinking problem and get on with this plodding mess already.

This sounds like a fix-it fanfic for Mark Trail and I'm totally here for it.  My dream scenario is for Vargo to pull an Olivia Jaimes and take Mark Trail off Jams Eallen's hands. Or for Vargo to write a Dr. Harvey Camel series, as Yvonmukluk helpfully puts it: Yvonmukluk posted:The thing is...a proper 21st-century Mark Trail would be doing basically everything Harvey is, save the juvenile diabetes/yeti thing. Honestly, Mark making a web series would provide a diegetic reason for the random animal fact strips.

I today's Corto Maltese: Corto indulges in heresy with the help of some cats, or Yes, Corto, when reviewing the whole rigmarole, it is pretty goddamn convoluted, even for you, or The writings on the lion are as follows; Right side: 'ASMUDR HJU RUNAR ŽISAR ŽAIR ISKIR AUK ŽURLIFR ŽURŽR AUK IVAR AT BON HARADS HAFA ŽUAT GRIKIAR UF HUGSAŽU AUK BANAŽU' or 'Asmund cut these runes with Asgeir and Thorleif, Thord and Ivar, at the request of Harold the Tall, though the Greeks considered about and forbade it.' Left side: 'HAKUN VAN ŽIR ULFR AUK ASMUDR AUK AURN HAFN ŽESA ŽIR MEN LAGŽU A UK HARADR HAFI UF IABUTA UPRARSTAR VEGNA GRIKIAŽIŽS VARŽ DALKR NAUŽUGR I FIARI LAŽUM EGIL VAR I FARU MIŽ RAGNARR TIL RUMANIU AUK ARMENIU', or 'Hakon with Ulf and Asmund and Örn conquered this port. These men and Harold Hafi imposed a heavy fine on account of the revolt of the Greek people. Dalk is detained captive in far lands. Egil is gone on an expedition with Ragnar into Romania and Armenia.'

I don't know if it's been asked before, but did Holbrook ever bother giving a reason as to why kidnapping child Leonardo Da Vinci from his time period hasn't caused a massive time paradox? Christ, just say you're blaming the baby for everything already. As much as Don's kind of an idiot for not telling his wife about this ASAP and for trying to slip away without telling her, I can kind of respect him for nope-ing out of this whole blackmail situation.

This is some straight psychopath poo poo to say about a guy you think died five minutes ago, 50 feet in front of you. amigolupus posted:
Yvonmukluk's idea is better, but when I was making fun of James, I wrote this tweet off-hand https://twitter.com/SchneidRemarks/status/1166820505237823490 And then suddenly realized that this actually isn't a bad idea for a Mark Trail story. Instagrammers and influencers actually do disrupt habitats, disturb sacred sites, do damage to ecosystems all the time. Hell, you could do a "Logan Paul and the suicide forest" kind of thing if you wanted to be macabre. Have Lost Forest suddenly become a popular influencer site and Mark has to deal with an influx of wealthy teens disturbing his forest. Cherry says its a good thing that young people are coming, Mark suddenly has to deal with his feelings about people enjoying nature "wrong". Finally, some instagrammers wander off-trail, get lost, don't have survival skills, are attacked by a cougar, Mark has to be a hero and then you have a story about ACTUAL social media dangers. And this is all something I came up with in a tweet to mock this dude. Also, since you all have enjoyed my adventures in old-person comics, you're all now legally obligated to listen to my podcast, Breaking Mayberry, which is about my adventures in old-person TV. As you can imagine, I wind up talking about newspaper comics regularly on the show. And if you think comics storylines are bad, plotless, and dumb, that's nothing compared to like, half the episodes of the Andy Griffith Show. BCN  Phoebe  Baldo  Again, this would be much better if the artist had ever included the detail of Sergio wearing his ring before now. Like, imagine seeing this strip if you hadn't seen yesterday's.

Crabgrass Support Tauhid's Patreon here. Old School Peanuts (Jul 4, 1951)  Calvin and Hobbes (Feb 20-21, 1987)   So Robbie and Bobby's archives are weird because he mixes in old comics with new ones so it's hard to tell what's new or not. Rather than spending a bunch of time trying to figure out what's a rerun I'm just going to post the archive as-is including the really old stuff. Think of it as a way to appreciate the creator's artistic development. Anyways that's why today's R&B looks so different. (May 4-5, 2015)

Why would you want someone else to break in your shoes? Then they would be broken in for their feet and not your own and you would have to break them in again when you started wearing them. Come on, Liz. Also such tiny feet.
