Crabgrass by Tauhid Bondia for April 24, 2024

Oh my, I did not see that coming.

LOL

WOAH! That’s a dark twist!

OK, this strip has now passed “Endtown” as my new favorite…

Curiouser and curiouser!

Yeah, knew that was coming. Time to plan that ambush on Mr. B and destroy that friendship goblin once and for all.

Either he’s messing with them or we’ve gotten a big big twist.

Kyle’s true colors are beginning to show.

No wonder he’s so grumpy.

Oh no! You’d think there’d be a limit to this like at 8:00 AM they’d automatically switch back. So he’s Quincy?

Okay, that is a turn I did not see coming. Well-played.

I feel sorry for all those people who lacked faith, and bailed on this story a week or two ago.

Still learning to appreciate their friend, yes?

So is Kyle just being a (bleep)bag to mess with them or has Quincy been in Kyle’s body this whole time and that’s why he’s so mean to Kevin?

Wait – Kyle is Quincy? I’ve heard about kids switched at birth, but…

Oh, no… Now Kyle’s getting in on it?! Just end the stupidity already!!

Nice

So, Kyle isn’t actually Kyle??

I hope he’s joking about everything he says!

[Ominous Music]

Hah! I bet when we meet Quincy, he will be sporting a head of red hair!

Wait, what?!

Dun, dun, dunnnnnnnn!

……

So….Kyle, the big brother bully we have known since this comic started, was actually Quincy the whole time?

Then what about the comic from 2020/04/24? Where Kyle recalls how their mom gave Crumbs to Kevin when the latter was still a baby? Why would Quincy know about that or still be sad about it, because that happened before Kyle and Quincy’s Freaky Friday Flip.

If this comic did not jump the shark already, it sure did now. Goodbye Crabgrass.

Hah! Kyle is having a go at them too! Wanna bet he goes on to perpetuate the goblin trick when he decides on teaching as a career?

Okay so does anybody else remember in Arlo and Janis when there was a bit about Ludwig the Cat broke the fourth wall to reveal that he was actually scottie dog hired to play a cat in a cat suit? Same vibes.

I think the most irritating thing about this is the way its being dragged out, like trying to psyche or stress out the reader is the same as presenting an exciting, engaging mystery.

i knew it!!!

Oh, he’s messing with them. That smirk in the third panel…

Methinks tales are being told and legs are being pulled.

So, today is Freaky Wednesday.

Hmmm, will my prediction inadvertently come true, or is he just pulling their leg?

This is starting to get dark.

Why is that substitute teacher doing things like this?

Interesting name choice, Quincy, the title character of a comic strip from the 1970s and 80s.

Ominous.

Creepy plot twist!

(Quincy the iguana?)
