Fourth wall? What fourth wall?

Oh no, it’s instant hole.

The joke doesn’t work as well online

Replacement Cuss Words

Some people like to replace cuss words with food items. Fudge is a popular one. But I think there are more fun words. High on that list is the first think I thought of when I saw today’s strip – Smudge.

Smudge – the value of something. A person’s opinion, the vase that fell, missing the bus… the list is endless! :)

Ask Rorschach. He might have the answer. Or he might not.

It’s BC! Nobody knows anything yet. Everything the air is a UFO. Identifying flying animal and bird species, odd-shaped clouds and “swamp gas” comes later.

Or the result of a forgetting to tap the nib before lifting the pen from the pot – if anyone still remembers.

Go ahead, give it a taste.

That’s the break in the fourth wall.

That’s a blot on the hitherto spotless character of this strip!

You are all wrong. It is Covid-19. Why not, it gets blamed for everything else?

Early ancestors of today’s vandals.

If that’s the QC slacker, he won’t be a problem any longer.

Protestors threw rocks through the windows of the art studio and one hit the easel?

In High School, I worked part time at the newspaper in the mail room, bundling papers for paper boys, and sorting them into mail bags. Pretty low level stuff. Usually, I was the first to actually READ any of the paper, and that would be a copy with some pages blank ‘cause those plates were not ready yet. When I’d spot something glaring, I’d show my friend Russ, a pressman. Then we’d show Ted, the lead pressman would would decide if it was serious enough to make a new plate. The pressmen were the only ones in the place who had any pride in their work, so the paper was quite a rag. A well printed rag, but a rag none the less.

Everybody knows cracks in the space-time continuum are purple with pink edges.

I sense a disturbance in the fourth …wall.

And we have a guest artist today, Rorschach.

QUICK – somebody find the “Flexseal”, white if you can find it!

Rorschach was here.

Some people go to extremes to cover for their mistakes.

Both

Maybe it was what was left of the Starship Enterprise after activating the self-destruct sequence…

Actually, I’m going to go with the tear in the space-time continuum. and I think we are experiencing another one currently.

I think Fred Flintstone said them first…Fracken and Fricken, I dare say they are much more usable than Smudge.

That spot is the remains of a big nasty cockroach that was walking across the almost finished panels. The person that smacked the vile insect couldn’t stop with only 1 smack, but had to smack the disgusting creature 3 separate times to make certain it was Dead! Dead! Dead!

I rather like that in a person!

Maybe poor aim by a BLMer?
