Imagine being married for 20+ years and still being so completely insecure with your spouse.

I assume the extra drop is why her legs didn't turn green. But also it's just a fat joke, big woman needs some extra formula, even if it wouldn't work that way since it's a bathtub anyway.

The strip said that she didn’t turn green because she went outside when it was raining instead of sunny. The stuff was affected by the level of UV light.

I'm not a fan of the Tinkersons' art, but what is that hat on his boss supposed to be? I feel like it's a 10 gallon cowboy hat, but without a brim.

It's a tooth 10-Gallon Hat or a Stetson.

My diabetic father in law still keeps bowls of candy around his house and loves to eat swedish fish by the handful in between meals of pasta and beer. The guy is too stubborn and fatalistic to actually eat healthier. So this little arc is basically real for me.

Yes, the story is that the entire crew was selected through an insane amount of nepotism, where the entire crew consist exclusively of the commander's nearest friends and family, most of them without any kind of scientific background.
So of course they're friendly with the chief medical officer, they're probably great friends.

Imagine being some of the astronauts in this world, having gone through decades of study, training, and exercise. And you're told that oh no, none of you are going on the first manned expedition to a different planet, but some kids are.
'Sorry, while you are eminently qualified to be one of the 'pilots', due to a decade flying experimental aircraft, and multiple trips to the ISS, the slot is already taken by the commander's husband. '
'What are his qualifications, I've never heard of him before?'
'He's a minor league basketballer, and before you ask, no, he has zero relevant experience.'

Don't forget that the Medical Officer and the Granddaughter are the same person, because time travel.

I don't think I like this narrator-with-personality we get sometimes in this strip.

I'm reading it in Boris Karloff's voice and it's been great.

Is mentioned in the last comic where cat dude and his gal are watching the kid, the dad and mom are super successful and constantly on business trips because of it. I wonder if hermit dad is in a small ironic hell because of it.

One of the last time we saw Heimo, he was bemoaning his and his wife’s success because it felt soulless and hollow, and he wished that he could have a simpler life. One of the constant handyman-type guys basically told him that he shouldn’t complain about his good fortune when other people in town were struggling. Then Heimo spotted him some money.

Yes, but that would also require her to not rip up all the clothes she's wearing at the slightest of inconveniences. As for wheat/corn, the Brits went a very long time not knowing about maize (from what I understand, and I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but 'corn' has a long history as a word, but a short one meaning specifically what we think of as corn nowadays, which was a New World plant).

Edit: Actually, here:

I feel like the fact that Axa was created 1978 does not jive with historical British Corn-Blindness.

If your magic DNA potions work by simply drinking them, and you presumably created this one from the mermaid's previous DNA sample, then why wouldn't it still transform her? Nothing makes sense and I'm getting mad.

Also I keep thinking that John Arbuckle's hell would be as a side character in this comic strip.

Even if Luann is going off to see Tara (and she totally is), so what, Bernice? Who died and made you Luann's mom?

In the hands of better writers, I could see this storyline actually being very relatable. Bernice loses her RA job and moves in with her Best Friend from childhood. Jealousy starts to set in as Bernice struggles to reconcile the facts that she and Luann really aren’t close anymore and that she doesn’t have the social circles that Luann does.

Unfortunately we have Evans.

For example, I really didn't expect Sulo's story about murdering someone to be framed with an almost comical depiction of the victim. It's like an Everett True strip with actual consequences.

Thanks for bringing us Mammila, by the way. It's great, and I never would have known about it if wasn't for your posts.

Is that comical? I found it grotesque. The author/artist is very good at caricature.
