Don’t forget to ‘favorite’ the strip!

Simply log in and click on the ‘Favorite’ star directly above the strip. We believe this may give Mr. McEldowney and Pibgorn a head-start when it comes time for GoComics to decide which comics to keep, and which to lose.

Any more, no matter what I read, I read as a writer, so I had to ROFLMSAO with that “What’s My Fatal Flaw” line.

ccdesan, did I miss any?

Just when you think the endgame is all wrapped up…
Joe Minotaur said, 11 months ago

Dru cooks, Spitcock roasts, Tom steams, and Julian fries.
The Old Wolf said, 11 months ago

Tom Torquemada… Today’s strip has me laughing still! Oh, Spitcock… Welcome to Hell! Here’s your Accordion! :^D)))

I thought julienne fries were called potato sticks… whatever happened to those, anyway? I haven’t thought about them for decades…

I sincerely hope that Tom and Spitcock aren’t in this together somehow. I mean, Spitcock was running before he knew Dru was after him - does he even know she is? He could have been running to, not from…

ejcapulet said, 11 months ago

Oh boy! This is going to be even more fun than “Who’s Ravishing Roger?”
Joe Minotaur said, 11 months ago

ccdesan: You can still find potato sticks here in the upper midwest. Cut thinner than french fries but not shredded like hash browns, these sticks remain a popular snack choice. You can sprinkle any seasoning or rub you like on them as they retain a lot of the fat they were cooked in.
Joe Minotaur said, 11 months ago
9CWL and Pibgorn:
I still think that these two story lines will conclude at the same time.
- I’m waiting for Spitcock to complain to Dru, “C’mon Dru, you’re no faun at all!”
Sisyphos said, 11 months ago

mikkail, do you think Dru could end up the contestant (again) rather than Inky? Or that maybe both must play a round [elide if it suits!]?

Sisyphos said, 11 months ago

And, ccdesan and Joe_Minotaur, here in Chicagoland there is still a packaged snack known as shoestring potatoes….
ejcapulet said, 11 months ago

I doubt that Julian is going to be willing to play with the souped-up version of Dru (her normal version was enough for him). I think this drained-out version of Inky would be more his style.
ejcapulet said, 11 months ago

On 9CWL, I wonder if yet another “glass of water” is in order.
Joe Minotaur said, 11 months ago

Oh Spitcock! Why the furrowed brow?

A nother take on …
Hello Everyone….
As you all know this is the time of year I like to share my Christmas cookie recipe with everyone….I am sending this now so all of you can get an early start on your baking. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Cheers….and Merry Christmas

Jose Cuervo Christmas Cookies

1 cup of water 1 tsp baking soda 1 cup of sugar 1 tsp salt 1 cup of brown sugar

! & amp; nbsp; 1 cup lemon juice
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila

Sample 1 level cup of the Cuervo to check the quality. Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is still of the highest quality, pour another level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Remove butter paper wrapper from bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar..Beat again. At this point it’s best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another levelel cup ..! just in case .

Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 eggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruits, Pick the frigging fruit off floor…

Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.

Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who giveshzasheet. Check the Jose Cuervo. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven.

Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don’t forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.

CHERRY MRISTMAS

**Sisyphos says:

Exactly. I somehow do not see Tom and Dru as being on the same side, as it would seem to be out of character for both. Maybe Dru & Spinky have to go head to head, with the winner eviscerating the loser?
Mikkail said, 11 months ago

Yep - sorry about that, Lunatic_fringe1 - too much Pinot Gris - HO HO (hic) HO! :)

74 Skulker; Thanks. That “White Christmas” was sent to me that way.

I’m sure it was. Most are. Please don’t take my post as a criticism. If my
first exposure to this video hadn’t been one with suspicious substituted
credits I wouldn’t have been motivated to research it to find the true
creators. I was just doing my small part to prevent future omissions.

The symbology of the second panel is undeniable! On many different levels!

My impression has been that Tom’s guest stars, er, victims are the ones who are in the most trouble at the given moment. I’m fairly comfortable guessing that Inky is going to be the butt of this joke!

Waidaminnute: Who says it’s Spitcock who has the fatal flaw?

Please to remember last month when Dru stated she was possibly falling for ol’ Spunky…
Orgelspieler said, 11 months ago

Hot rum toddy and Sonja Henje’s Tutu, I called it right!

And get a load of the gams on that demon… he bees RUNNIN’!
Orgelspieler said, 11 months ago

Tom appears to have all his teeth back since the last time Dru decked him, but they’re so much SMALLER now.

jwhouk67 - I don’t think Tommy Boy would take Dru on with her current level of mojo. Spinky is so much easier to deal with, and Tom goes for ratings more than revenge.

Fatuncle - thanks for the link a couple days ago. I’m going straight home after work and review my collected works of H.P. Lovecraft… I’m SURE he mentions that particular mutation in one of his stories. If he didn’t, he certainly should have! ROFL!
lindavid3 said, 11 months ago

Is it just me, or does Tom look a lot like Inky?

Check out the Eggs on Torkie’s cravat..
thevenbede said, 11 months ago

Yeah, you can still find cans of potato sticks in the canned foods aisle here in Maine, too. I just hope the eggs being sunnyside up are a good omen for the Egg family!

Lunatic Fringe…you forget the most important step.

“Lightly dust the edge of each cookie with coarse salt and what are you lookin’ at, Punk?!”
Orgelspieler said, 11 months ago

Lindavid3, I noticed that too at first, but I think it’s just that they go to the same demon barber… maybe Sweeney Todd?
macFicheallaigh said, 11 months ago

Uh, oh, this is too easy. Whose fatal flaw is it, Spitcock’s or Dru’s?
