The Sunday strip was April babysitting and getting paid. Now we've gone back in time to before the party. That's some good storytelling, there.

I can't wait until a character's suicide is in the Saturday paper and the next day, they are shown grocery shopping.

Oh please let this happen.

What this return to before the party means is that I really can still hope for my Very Special Panel where April gets caught by St. Michael while she's going roadside with her Gigsville boyfriend instead of babysitting Robin and Meredith.

Oh, yes. Yessss. That must happen.

Then Blandthony and Elizabeth can come home, be surprised by the underage sexin', and then Blandthony can replay his earlier heroism by attacking the boyfriend.

If the boyfriend rips off Blandthony's molestache in the course of the struggle, my joy will be complete.

Does anybody ever actually say roadside? I even looked it up on urbandictionary and the only definition seemed entirely based off what Lynn Johnston wants us to believe it means.

I think we established in one of the earlier threads, with the above being key examples, the Lynn Johnston pulls phrases out of her butt. Not even the Canadians seemed to know where "mobility!", "relax the sphincter", and "she's a gig!" came from.

Seriously, "relax the sphincter"? Seriously?

Lynn's assistants emailed someone asking about "roadside" "gig" and "been there" and stated that they were made up terms.

In the second thread, I posted:

And now I find the source for the usage of those terms.

I hope we can avoid the Minimum Security crap too; this comic (and other crappy political comics) seems to be fuel for derailment.

I just read 7 pages of crazy hoping that somewhere in there somebody explained what the HELL is going on. Why are you people posting FBOFW strips? Why aren't any of the photoshopped strips funny? Why are you making fun of extremely mundane images, they're neither awful nor great... half the time I can't even tell if the images have been photoshopped at all... WHY THE HELL DOES THIS THREAD EXIST??

Please explain.

You can never know too much about FBOFW. Some day, when you die, St. Peter will let you in through the pearly gates specifically because you know that DeAnna is a pharmacist.

I made the mistake of reading the sunday comics this week and I found "The Amazing Mind of Edison Lee" or some poo poo. Poorly done Calvin impersonation. The theme was predestination under the punchline of "I broke something of yours, it's predetermined" with his dad?'s respnse of "it's predestned you'd be paying me back until you're 95, hurr"

Trash.

Yes, St. is a common abbreviation for Saint. It's been theorized in the previous threads that the entire comic actually revolves around "St. Michael", the character of Michael who is obviously Lynn's ideal son, and that anyone who wrongs him is punished by some type of horrible accident/rape/fire/whatever is on the table this week for Lynn. Someone else can probably sum it up better than me.
