Rumor has it that the powers that be are bringing back Gumby, but it’s going to be CG not Stop-Motion and there are a lot of people out there not happy about that
This is my interpretation (with help from, and thanks to, the other commenters, who eased my original confusion). Dad’s calmly reading the paper. Suddenly Lio goes by on his “ambulance” trike, with clay creatures sounding the “sirens”. Dad is confused as to why this happened. He relaxes again and crosses his legs. This action reveals that Gumby is stuck to his sandal, with Dad apparently having stepped on him.
Mark, why would you not just make the panels right-side-up? It’s the same amount of space that way and has the added benefit of no one having to crane their neck to read it if they’re not reading it on a smartphone or in newsprint.

Mark, you need to learn the secret of turning your strip sideways from Wiley Miller of Non Sequitur so we don’t have to try to turn our monitors.

Looks like Dad pancaked Gumby when he was on a bender last night.

Ambulance is a little too late for Gumby, Lio.

Dad isn’t wearing socks in his sandals? He might be learning. Maybe it’s because this is an alternate sideways universe.

Don’t worry, it’s Gumby; he’ll be okay. Eventually.
