Dalcon appears to be shadowing Bleeb.

Ghosting, one of those new social media concepts. Kind of like throwing shade on somebody. It is interesting how language evolves over time.

If we give you a Going Away Party, will you go away?

Yeah, go away, Ric Flair isn’t even dead!

To be fair, it IS a confusing term

Wait… chasing after someone with a sheet over your head and saying boo isn’t how you ghost someone???

Luke is the literal type…

You ghost your way and I’ll ghost mine.

What? Is he supposed to wear a longer sheet?

Does Bleeb have a girlfriend ?

See… that’s what happens when they make-up a new word for ignoring or avoiding someone, for which there are already words! Like IGNORING… AVOIDING!

But they didn’t make up a new word, did they! They just added a new meaning to an existing word, the nincompoops!

That’s a funny word and fun to say! NINCOMPOOP! See? How can that not be funny, I mean it’s actually got the word poop in it!

Sorry, too much Red Bull again!

Note: is McPherson messing with us, or has he added a Bleeb twin? I zoomed in and they both are drawn like Bleeb, and neither one is Dalcon… unless they decided on a color and wardrobe change for Dalcon. It’s obviously not Argor. So what gives?

Or does the pink house just really have a bad bug problem?

Luke says “The joke’s on you. I’m an expert in being ghosted”.

If he had a longer sheet, would she know it is Luke? Seems like she is jumping to conclusions.

A little too early for Halloween, Luke

Which one’s Bleeb? And who’s the other one? Dalcon usually wears a beret.

Bleeb and Beltron seem to be enjoying it too.
