I have good news and bad news. The good news, for the next 15 years, you won’t have to wear a tie and you’ll get 3 meals a day. The bad, your next happy hour won’t be until 2031. Oh, and tell your family to bring you lots of soap on a rope.
Now I’m no lawyer, but I did watch every episode of LA Law. Second degree murder, is that realistic? Despite him being drunk, speeding, and no lights, it still wasn’t premeditated, it was an accident. Wouldn’t it be manslaughter?
MOP, MOP, MOP: Boo Slaughter (Enos’ Niece) is what the DA would let him plea to. 1st is premeditated, 2nd is both his son’s position and murder without any premeditation. Much like this story line is 2nd degree. No fore thought, just (as Ellisburkes mentioned above) an endless wandering in the desert of R&W’s minds. They’re killing us.
…been away for a bit in the calming environs of SW Michigan, a little respite from the hassle and hustle of Chicago and its suburbs….but not far enough away from JCheezWhiz and his sophomoric (and in this case) gallows humor (get how I do that? Spinning gold here!)
Whiz, glad you must be feeling better I didn’t want to “pile” on for some time but now it seems you are ready to face, perhaps I should say “abut” any further critique.
Hope you are well enough to face this commentator’s “probing” and “penetrating” critique.
(some of you may recall that during my best Whiz beat-downs he announced he had to have a biopsy “down below the equator”…even I couldn’t say too much)
I don’t know why I continue to read this incredible dumb strip. Maybe to see what really stupid plot lines Gil’s creators can come up and how long it takes them to exhaust the story line.As former court official I take exception to the term death by DWI, most states use the term of Motor Vehicle Homicide to charge a person with killing a person by way of drunk driving. this term goes down with the term" state play downs" as a made up term. I been around a long time and have never heard of this saying before. I guess I am hooked on Gil and will never find a anti dote to stop reading this stupid strip.
Whiz, I can’t even go for that buddy….. and man….I want to. Glad you are better but the shiv shall be out again, pal, just step out with another lame comment and Katie bar the door!

That’s true. I saw him speeding with his lights off.

Maybe this story will be over by the time Del gets out.

Better keep your hands tightly on the soap, Del! BUBBA is waiting for you!

The only danger Del knew was that he might get caught.

Jail seems to be causing Del to morph into an older version of Barry. Never saw the resemblance when he was a free man.

Ahhh…reality seems to be setting in on elder Bader. Will that also be handed down to his son?

Oh, and remorse. Be sure to show some remorse. Judges prefer that to the whole “I wasn’t driving the car that killed her” attitude.

In all my years of reading this strip, I’ve never seen two characters that are as unlikable as Del and Barry.

Who the hell is that in P3 and where did Del go? Somebody just “accidentally” give him access to his belt and let him end this once and for all.

This is all the fault of Shelly, the Selaski’s waitress.

Forget the Milford CC, Gil should go waterskiing and jump a shark. It seems that’s where this strip is headed.

“Witnesses saw you speeding” and that was the last time anyone saw any speed in this story (except Tru’s overthrow; which he was warned against.)

and if you “oil the Warden’s hinges” you could be out in five on “good” behavior.

Maybe Del can use the affluenza defense…or that he sniffed too many industrial solvents and alcohol was the only way to make the headaches go away.

Just for those counting — this story arc started on April 11th. This has to be the longest (and lamest) arc in the strip’s history.
