Hits.  I meant hits. Honest.

From your lips to God’s undisembodied ear,  Jim…

Plus some absolutely fabuloso commentary from the funny folks at the Comics Curmudgeon:

And who could possibly forget…

Not quite yet.  And still, what will the future bring?

Then again, it might not be as exciting as one might expect…

I can’t really recall when two of the serial comics more or less ended their plots at the same time.  (Oh, come on…you know it’s just denouement from here on out.)

And I give all credit in the “Short ‘n’ Sweet” or “Less is More” category to CC’s Red Greenback for this absolute treasure:

…and Dawn Weston is just another Beetle Bailey.  Rather than get all emotional (like some one-armed guys we know), it’s nice to see how intellectually Dawn is approaching this dilemma, AND using her collegiate experience to help!

And you know? I think that things are really going to turn out for the best here: Dawn will find happiness, Wilbur will be happy for her, and Jim — well, as soon as he gets over these little snits, he’ll be fine, too.  Let’s go fly a kite! Everyone loves that, right?

It’s been a while since we’ve caught up with Kit Walker.  Then again, he’s been hot on the very slow trail of the Phantom Lioness.  Is the Lioness a hoax dreamed up by the white devil miners to gain access to Llongo land? A trick plotted by the village elders to discredit Queen Hottie’s progressive agenda?

I don’t know.  All I know is that the plot is glacial, pretty impressive stuff for a strip located in sub-Saharan Africa.  Good hunting, O User of Over-the-Counter Bandar Medicine!

…when Sam Driver only gets his cut of the movie contract Huge Bucks?!?  Have we gone back to the USSR and its unrelenting Communism?!?

…and not just because I’ve met Bob Weber, Jr., and he could probably seek me out and smack me upside the head if he had a mind to (he lives in the same greater metropolitan area that I do).  I’m currently slogging through Life of Pi, by Martel Yann, in anticipation of seeing the new movie.  Part of the story takes place in the Pacific, where a cargo ship with a load of zoo animals sinks in a storm: the hero of the story, Pi Patel, must share a lifeboat with a huge tiger.  And here, not only is Slylock in the midst of a vicious storm at sea, but today’s “How to Draw” features a tiger.  A TIGER, people! Is this like Kismet, or Brigadoon, or what?!?
