Groening was one of many people who flew on noted sex monster Jeffrey Epstein's private jet, which has been dubbed "The Lolita Express" by tabloids after the full details of how bad Epstein was came out.

One of the girls Epstein abused mentions giving Groening a foot rub but doesn't say anything further happened, and given that she said she was made to have sex with Prince Andrew, she probably would have said if it did.

Said Groening was nice, aside from having super gross feet.

Aye Carumba!

Zelda is the cartoon version of the reddit relationships thread in GBS.

That makes sense especially when Zelda’s drawn to look like she’s 12 years old.

I know that in the show he’s completely gone except for a cameo episode where we learn that he and Huey had a falling out and it ends with Huey getting headbutted.

The writers knew Cesar was a poor fit for the more brash tone of the cartoon.

1940s Mark Trail is kind of a revelation. Like it’s the first time I’m reading it where the characters interact with each other and the environment like actual human beings instead of stiff plastic robots.

The only thing I like about Adam (the comic) is that the shading under his nose makes me thing Adam (the dad) is just constantly day-drunk.

Looks like the virus has caught up with RMMD. I still don't think this is a coronavirus story, but I think the mask thing was added as a result of recent events.

I’ll be real disappointed honestly if it turns out to be emphysema or something if not COVID.

Like I know being disappointed by Rex Morgan is something to expect but it’s a major cock-up when a comic that’s ostensibly about a doctor has less to say about the biggest public health crisis of this century than friggin’ *Curtis*.

Is COVID just a bad case of pneumonia, Rex Morgan MD?

https://www.comicskingdom.com/trending/blog/2020/03/31/behind-the-scenes-rex-morgan-md

I found this post that Beatty made on his CK blog a month ago and it explains things a bit.

1. The “Truck Tyler pneumonia story” was finished and sent to papers months before COVID became public knowledge, so a lot of this is just unfortunate coincidence.

2. He knows about the COVID and wants to touch upon it in RMMD, but ultimately wants to maintain the comic as escapist entertainment and doesn’t want the virus to cast a shadow over everything.

I ragged a lot about the seeming ignorance of the storyline and now feel kinda sheepish. I’m not sure I entirely agree with Beatty’s approach, but I can understand his reasoning.

Gary and his pals are mostly undead monsters, so I think they’re immune to COVID.

The joke is "imagine if the simpering, self-hating, insecure nonsense that turns people off ... didn't." This guy is doing all the relationship-destroying self-doubt stuff that is typically poison except she reacts the opposite of what any reasonable person would. What if Jessica Rabbit were married to Woody Allen, and she LOVED it?

Hopefully she’d tell him to stop molesting kids?

Kelly is desperately trying to make the Kudlicks more sympathetic by slowly turning Dustin from “out-of-work twenty-something” to “literal idiot manchild.”

Like at this rate in six months we’re going to see adult diaper humor.

I'm not so sure about this. Something that Zelda does a lot is to have a character act like a complete strawman just to make the other character's points look better in comparison.

I have definitely had a few moments at parties in my lifetime where someone I met engages in toxic behavior, especially around women, and normally chill friends around me would laugh it off as “oh he’s so *quirky*!”, so it’s a lot more common than you think.

The Six Chix comic should be two-panel.

In panel two, the white woman is seen in a hospital room dying of covid, while the masked black woman flips her the bird from outside of the window.

I suppose he changed the original's one gasbag to two so it could be more stable for a water landing. Plus, Lucinde isn't in this strip, but this way he can still draw two round, swelling, forward-thrusting masses.
