For reals. If they had a honeymoon, we didn't hear about it. They've been married maybe a day. Whoever set up their schedule hates the hell out of them.

I think I've mentioned it before, but their schedules aren't even possible. In general, a firefighter has a "one day on, two day off" schedule. That means they're at the fire station for a full 24 hours, then off for 48. This three day cycle is repeated nine times, and then during the tenth cycle their on day is off.

Firefighters have a ton of downtime. There's no way anyone would be on for four days straight - that's insanity. The only way that would happen is if they swapped shifts with someone else to build up a larger consecutive day time off/vacation. But they would never be on for 96 hours. Greg Evans is an idiot.

And now, for a palette cleanser, Modesty Blaise:

Any time someone else is in a position of superiority over him—even, say, a doctor or a mechanic—he becomes the whiniest, pissiest baby about it. Not to their face, though; he rants to his family, later, at home in his safe space.

Every time I see one of these past marriage jokes I can't help but think of her marriage.

Neither can she; in her commentary for the strip on today's blog:

Strange to be reading this years after my divorce. It’s as if I was predicting things yet to come.

You know where he should have had them walk by fondly? One of the old-school Jewish delis. They've been around since before Hollywood and if anything will outlive Hollywood they will. Because the food is delicious.

Let's go with Canter's. It's still open. And the sign and the location screams "Los Angeles" more than any restaurant that's been closed since the 1970's.

Canter's is terrible. Objectively terrible.

For better or worse, Modesty Blaise is about to head into new territory:

quote:

After Jim Holdaway's death in 1970, the art of the strip was provided by the Spanish artist Enrique Badía Romero. Eight years later, Romero quit to make time for his own comics projects, and after short attempts by John Burns and Patrick Wright, Neville Colvin drew the strip until 1986. Then Romero returned to the job and continued until the end of the strip.

In other words, we're about to enter the post-Romero years. You will notice the change in art style immediately - and I totally understand if you bail out as Burns steps in. He'll be taking the lead on only two stories, so we'll see how Patrick Wright works out soon enough.

And now, without further ado, Yellowstone Booty:
