Did Sedine just suggest the driver run over an innocent bystander?! That’s not the kind of thing you can undo, I know this is supposed to be a joke, but vehicular killing is not funny! This is the first time I can say I don’t like today’s comic!
I still want to know if char. Got a pic of Sedine bending over to pick up the chair, the heck with the news, and why isn’t Sedine looking like she just came out of the pool if you know what I mean?
That reminds me of a classic Dilbert comic where him and Dogbert are watching the news whose local team couldn’t find a story to report on until they ran over someone:
The police told me it’s common practice of the street gangs in LA county to induct a new member by having him steal a car and run over a pedestrian. It’s how I lost my wife of 22 years. My son was only 8. I know it’s hard thinking of how to put humor into your strip but sometimes, it’s hurtful.
My apologies for being insensitive with this particular strip. The base idea was to make a comment about the integrity of the press and how some are willing to spread falsehoods or even stage accidents in order to push sensationalism for ratings. The punchline was how this backfires for Sedine with her ending in the pool. That instant Karma was my main concern about this strip and I didn’t think that lead up to it would be seen as gritty and dark but more like ‘whoa! WTF, Sedine!?’. However, I accept the criticism and will do my best to be more sensible with future stories and jokes.
I guess the individual that thought that cartoon was insensitive has never seen an old Warner Brothers Road Runner film! It’s a comic and should be appreciated as one!
Oh what the heck Bea! You know there’s always going to be that certain “percentage” that you can’t make happy, so “Be” yourself! Always love your work, myself.

Poor ‘WHOT-4’ News Van … :(

This should be newsworthy, though. ✨❤️✨

So the kid driving the van….
Did he take this job to pay for his poly-psych courses at the junior college?

Well, Sedine. That’s what happens when you try and fake news.

There is a phrase for what you suggested here, Sedine. It is “vehicular assault” and it is generally frowned upon, alright?
You just wear the skimpy outfit, OK?

I ran an anti-virus program on my TV and the news channels disappeared.

Sedine that was stupid telling the kid to run over someone. He is of the age that they believe you can still hit reset and all is okay.

Every day in every way Sedine grows more and more stupid.

Drying the news van out and repairing it will come out of your check, Sedine.

Good answer.
Over on Luann, we never got a creator answer when major characters committed felonies.
