If you would like to ‘favorite’ the strip, (and maybe the sketch, too), simply log in and click on the ‘Favorite’ star at the lower right corner of the strip. Mr. McEldowney very kindly asked for us what purpose is served by favoriting, and this was the answer:
I asked my editor at Gocomics about the purpose of “favoriting” a strip. Her answer was this: “‘Favoriting’ allows people following you to see what comics you like. ‘Favorited’ comics also show up under your profile, and allow us to see what comics people are enjoying.”
Basically, I think it provides a method for spreading the word.

I’m just going to take a nap on the confusion couch, and maybe something will come to me in a dream…

Electrifying catch by Dru - right outa Left Field!

And I think Nat may have set a record for # of “dames” used in a Natrration sentence.
Sisyphos said, 6 months ago

Gosh! Am I first post? fear-ciuil, are you here?
fear-ciuil said, 6 months ago

THIS CANNOT BE.

I went through the “Comics” button at the top of the page to make sure I was in the right place to post the boilerplate, and there’s a “Top 10 Most Popular Comics.” Guess what wasn’t on it?

Only thing left for Pib is to fall up.
I’m splitting my time between ‘toons and writing a condolence card for a friend’s Mom. The cover is here. :

Re: 9CL.

I haven’t had a chance to go through the old strips to check, but does Monty look slightly different? Or is this just me?
fear-ciuil said, 6 months ago

Aaaaand … now I can’t figure out how to get back to what used to be “My Comics.” Am I missing something?
StradMan37 said, 6 months ago

Of course, the 1st 2 comments today were from GENIUSES…..
Joe Minotaur said, 6 months ago

Nice Photo. Sorry about your friend’s loss.
I need to be up early, so…

Goodnight Ladies and Gents!
MurphyHerself said, 6 months ago

Make room, margueritem, this is going to take some serious dreaming. I hope the couch is soft and cushy and you can really sink into it.

BTW, is “genius” the new “pro”?
Sisyphos said, 6 months ago

I think the servers are being “funny” (SAS) again; for a brief moment my previous post was indeed first. But upon a refresh, it suddenly became fifth!

And, BTW, this tighter spacing/font makes editing very tricky in a strictly physical sense: if the old fingers and eyes aren’t nimble enough, one will make a mistake correcting a mistake!
Gweedo Murray said, 6 months ago

fear and others: Hit the HOME button at the top and you’ll go to the page with “MY Comics”.

EDIT: Test for way back edit capability
Done may 21 -10:54 am.
mjolnir 9 said, 6 months ago

We have a trois. Are they about to menage?

Note what appears to be a freeze-frame that Dru is applying to Pib, the first promiscuous (and I use the word advisedly) intermingling of the Fire and Ice motifs. Note…

Note many things, actually, that I don’t have time to get analytical about right now. I’ve got things to see and people to do. Be back in the morning with some snacks…
Sisyphos said, 6 months ago

I credit Nat with at least three puns in his brief narration: that’s as many as “dames,” Risitas!

I’d rather count the “dames”, any time.

Hey! Wiz in Wizard of Id is trying to de-fang our bats! No wonder they’re all up in the peak of the vaulted ceiling!

@fear-ciuil:

You read THAT?!? To each his/her own, I guess. Actually, I read Speed Bump…..

Sisyphos said, 6 months ago

Risitas, you count the “dames” and I’ll count the dames, okay?
Sisyphos said, 6 months ago

When was the vaulted ceiling installed? Did I miss something?

Coverly (Speed Bump) is up for a Reuben (as I heard in long radio interview with Stephan Pastis earlier today; I’ll look for the link).

The Pastis interview lasts over seventy minutes, but it’s good: http://tinyurl.com/ppw4ek

Yum - I’m up for a Reuben right now!

Anyone else want one, now that I’m up???

Mmmmm, reubens!

Hey, the pink Pib tights ‘r back!

No complaints from this end of the couch……
GrumpyOldbear said, 6 months ago

I too do not like the white- I would not go so far as to say Black with white letters, but something to tone down this “snow field” before we go blind.
.
@inshadowz - I used to love Raisin Bran, only thing I ate for breakfast till I saw some raisins doing the backstroke across the milk.
.
@fear-ciuil - good luck, I had a muscle (on the side of the gluteus maximus) pinch a nerve that controlled that muscle. Took awhile to get it loosened up. But in the mean time the Physical Therapist found what 3 Chiropractors over the years missed. That was the front of my pelvis was out of line. (Happens to pregnant women) She got that lined up and everything else has stayed in place. Might want to check that out - there were no symptoms of the condition other than one leg was very slightly shorter than the other.
.
@Oldwolf I used the Crushed Pineapple & Cherry Pie Mix in friendship bread - came out spectacular. It is tough separating the cherries from the juice But then there is topping for each piece.

There is enough for all. Enjoy

Sisyphos: Reubens was an okay painter.
Sisyphos said, 6 months ago

Saskfan, “Reubens, reubens, Rubens, I’ve been thinkin” –and now I’m confused!
BikeNBoatN said, 6 months ago

Interesting use of perspective. Dru’s right arm is longer than her left arm, and her torso has shortened.
ejcapulet said, 6 months ago

At least she didn’t end up as flattened fairy!
Nabuquduriuzhur said, 6 months ago

Poor Pib. She never knows if Druscylla will kill her or smile at her when she shows up.
SirMirom said, 6 months ago

@mjolnir9 I so, SO hope Brooke doesn’t let our heroes swing that way.

In today’s guest Legend of Bill, the raucous squirrels seem triumphant!

(P.S. I don’t remember white squirrels at BGSU, gg015879, but there was a squirrel-centric student comic strip for a while in the BGNews….)
Fluffy67 said, 6 months ago

Nothing happens when I click the favorite star… anyone having that problem?

Yup, I see the same, that the star is grey and does nothing. Did they change it to be only for genius level logins?
marchman said, 6 months ago

Hello to all. I like the rest of you am having a terrible time with the new layout. I cant see ‘my’comics’, they seem buried under the second comic I have on my. list. And having to click thru to post a comment, it appears to simply a second chance for your eyes to fall on the ads. If this is an improvement….well I guess I’ll have to live with it to read those that are only posted here. Well maybe they can take care of the bugs quickly. Enjoy the comfort of the couch.
fatuncle said, 6 months ago

Well, I am a ‘genius” ( snicker snarf giggle ) and the favorite star goes grey for me as well.
And I don’t see where they are logging how many times the strip has been favorited.

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday, to you. Happy Birthday!
…and a pinch to grow an inch! Or maybe just a pinch.
Orgelspieler said, 6 months ago

My “pro” status didn’t transfer into “genius”, and I’ll be danged if I beg or pay for it. But don’t rent out my spot on the couch, I’ll keep coming in every day!

Well, what can I say to all this, except…

I’m up on the tightwire etc… .

I have not heard that song in many more years than I care to count!
Whoooo Boy!
I will be mumbling about rubber-neck giraffes all day, better close my office door, just to be safe!

thanks

Poms said, 6 months ago

This is different (gocomics format). Not sure I really care for this that much. Agree that the white is a bit much. Oh well, will work with what we are given.

Debra4life50 - Happy anniversary of your birth greetings! Celebrate your day!!!

I guess this arc is meant for the OTC …. perpetually in the state of confusion. I wonder if Dru (when is in “Dru form”) is more aware of what is going on than when she is in “Dinah form”. Wonder if I could ever figure this arc out….

Poms said, 6 months ago

Apparently, our formatting techniques (bold, italics, etc) are useless with this new look….
TiggerLeBounce said, 6 months ago

Happy Birthday, Debra4life!

I can’t say I like the new lay-out either- But it is nice to not have to do some fancy clicking to get back to my comics after I make a comment.
Radical-Knight said, 6 months ago

Happy Birthday, Debra.
