I don’t know the referenced characters and quite honestly I do not care to look them up. I hope the people they are striving so hard to attract vastly outnumber the ones they are driving away.
P4: Keri: “Yes, fill me up, Stud!”Other guy in the booth: “Umm, I’m a married 42-year-old man… and your Psychologist.”Keri: “Oh, sorry, I didn’t see the ring. I forgot that Rod doesn’t draw left hands well.”
Nice references to Chainsaw Man. My kids have read it. I, literally, just started a couple days ago and quickly churned through the first 2 volumes. It’s not bad.
So, now we have two High School (one Non-Binary) sweet (kind of) hearts talking like 12-year-olds. Shouldn’t this scene be with Jami and some girl with acne?
The best thing about this strip used to be it’s total lack of hipness, even when topical. I’m afraid we’ve gone beyond the point of no return and this is coming from a guy that’s as “woke” as a 61 year old can be. I’m just too old to keep this many balls in the air, although even juggling would be an improvement. At least it’s kind of a sport. #bringbacktheflattop.
This strip has gone off the rails. The story line is jumbled and makes no sense. The once great artwork now sucks. Each day it has become harder to identify the characters.
Is that a new fashion trend? Pedro doesn’t have a bald spot, but dyed a small light brown circle onto the top of his head? Maybe it will catch on. And speaking of catching on, it’s about time you caught on to Mopped Up Thorp.

The male pattern baldness remains intact for the strip…at least some continuity.

Maybe we need a new Days Held Hostage: More than one day on a single subject. Hope the full length comic book will be worth all this chaos.

First Milford Monk of the New Year. On The Bucket Wurlitzer, Freddy Fender croons “Wasted Days and Wasted Nights.” Sigh.

I feel like I must have aged 25 years since Rod took over the strip, because now I don’t understand 90% of it…
