The structure of this overused set up (sending the tablet across the sea and waiting overnight for a response) has been literally Xeroxed for many years. It’s basically a two-panel daily strip (first and last panels) stretched to a Sunday strip with useless filler panels which add nothing to the storyline or the punchline. Yes, I know these are comic strips I can read—or not read—for free. But “B.C.” and “Andy Capp” (the other Sunday offender) are capable of much better work. Loyal fans of both strips know this.
