      Next week he’ll declare his conversion to Linenism.

            Socialist Victory Choir rendition on YouTube. Unfortunately this is not the Sheffield Socialist Choir’s version, which is the schnitz IMHO.

            That’s sung to the tune of O Tannenbaum, as has been usual for a century or so. You would not be alone if you preferred the original tune, as sung here by Billy Bragg.

    So I wonder if they are breaking Mike’s fingers one at a time with a ball peen hammer as torture, or if he feels nothing because he just snapped his neck on impact and is dead.

    Oh and a machine almost went untoweled, close one. Glass that tension got resolved in the last panel.

      There are several people in this comic who are, but who loudly insist that they are terrible, as a defense mechanism. Look how much they don’t care!

    Now that this is kind of quiet, it’s as good moment as any other to play with predictions about Mike’s fate. Here are mine:

    1. The subplot telling what happened to Mike is already in the buffer.
    2. We will know around April 1st.
    3. Mike won’t die, he’s the most irreplaceable secondary character in this strip (but maybe he’s badly damaged).
    4. Archer will be somehow involved in what happened (and maybe also Sal).
    5. As a result of what happened, Amazi-Girl will stop her activities (at least temporarily).
    6. In 2021 or 2022 we will have a plot about Amazi-Girl sightings and Willis will have us wondering if it’s the real one or an impostor.

    I hope I’ll get at least a couple of them right. I won’t say anything about Blaine or Ross because I don’t really care about them, they’re thrash.

    So…Has anyone else noticed Willis changed Mike’s profile info to “Mike is(was???) roommates with Walky.” Just, you know, more kindling to everyone’s burning question of stuff.

    So, Joe still won’t admit that he kind of likes Joyce?

More Asma?

Me two weeks ago: Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, not to protect anyone, but because entering prison as the world's most illustrious pedophile makes that a logical decision. Conspiracy theories make less sense than the stated story. Me now: The Pee Tape was shot on Epstein Island.

Q: “Did Bondi tell you your name appeared in the Epstein Files?” TRUMP: “The files were made up by Comey, Obama, Biden…” 🤔 Nothing to see here, folks!

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
