              It was part of the pay-per-view comics for Joyce and Walky, but you had to pay twice as much as usual, and give your left kidney for this one.

Now, at night, when I attempt to sleep, I will lay awake, staring at the ceiling, wondering, agonizing over the woohoo. Where did it go? What lay hidden beyond it’s mysterious portal? I. Must. KNOW!

    When I was in elementary school, they told us that the fire alarm spit indelible blue ink when pulled. So, if it was a real fire, then the puller would be marked a hero, but if it wasn’t, then everyone would know whom to blame.

    I really wanted to test whether this was true, but I never quite pulled it, so I guess the story worked.

    I don’t think Sal pays much attention to anyone. She goes pretty much where and when she wants, usually out windows. But, Ruthless just brings out the ‘do the opposite of what I demand’ in people like Sal. Ruthless brings out the ‘where can I hide urge’ in everybody else.
    Agree with earlier poster, that hair has got to go. I like the long look. This particular style has to be Hell to get tucked into the motorcycle helmet.

      Yeah, it’s a cheesy pop tune, but maybe the incredibly tenuous connection to dinosaurs would catch her attention?

    Whatever you people do– DON’T pull the bright red, candy-like beckoning fire alarm lever of forbidden mystery. No matter how enticing and seductive it may be… just sitting there… aching, begging, pleading… oh! how it yearns to be set off so it may bring it’s song to the populace. Although doing so would be oh so fulfilling and perhaps bring you the peace and joy you’ve craved your entire lives, do NOT pull the fire alarm and release the most tantalizing wonders far beyond your imagination. This meeting is over.

I need more Muslim characters! Or at least more prominent ones who aren't Raidah. It is a huge giant hole in my strip that makes it suck. The current storyline would've been way better if they existed. But they don't, and no amount of throwing Asma in for three strips solves it.

That one Real Life Comic strip Tha cracked a million eggs.
Further on in the RLC comics run, where Mae says that the stuff she liked that she thought made her a man is just stuff, and that it doesn't mean anything.

Happy Nonbinary People's Day, you gemstones. A year or two back we introduced FLASH GORDON's first enby, the outlaw lawman Bones Malock. Having known and loved a lot of nonbinary people, I knew the truest way to represent you was as a unsettling desert pirate with a lightning sword
Flash Gordon's Bones Malock:
Bones Malock, under captions reading:
Bones Malock and Flash Gordon.

Flash: Okay... wait thirty seconds, then give me a distraction.

Bones: Got just the thing.

Flash: Do NOT blow the place up.

Bones: You're the boss.

Okay, everyone's jumping to conclusions, but Joyce was hit with a mysterious pink gas in Thursday's strip. Now, in recent years, the police are known to increasingly use military grade weapons. Which reminded me of this bit of proposed technology from the 1990s: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_bomb

hey, kid, what do you want to play with from the cool superhero movie? is it a nude, melting senator who feels like a stretch armstrong doll that has been left out in the son and maybe mildly chewed by a neighborhood dog? WELL, SON, YOU'RE IN LUCK!
the most upsetting toy of all time: a small and horrible statue of melting, nude Senator Kelly from the first x-men film
