Oceans rise, empires fall, and fart jokes endure forever.

So Zoe MacPherson is going to be like Ben Urich of Marvel Comics’ Daredevil?

Think of it this way-when she grows up she’ll make a fine gossip columnist! ;D

Maybe she’ll read about his gas in the newspaper before she smells it.

Zoe MacPherson investigating reporter. Sees all, tattletales all.

OK then, two reasons. And then there’s Hammie. OK, a dozen reasons.

¯\༼ •́ ͜ʖ •̀ ༽/¯ and there you have it!

Is this how Lois Lane got started?

We need more journalists who do journalism.

Brenda Starr, Zoe’s heroine! (Probably before her time)!

That last panel is my mom and dad. My dad would’ve replied “You’re about to find out.”

Woot! Way to go, Zoe!

Danae from Non Sequitur has just felt a disruption in the force.

even worst… :{

Well, that too.

gassy again. ha. when did it stop

This can end well.

Maybe this can end like the Gunsmoke episode when the newspaper printer came to Dodge City and Festus became a a reporter and exposed the little know secrets of various townspeople.

There was a self-published newssheet called The Tattler in our town. Mostly dealt in, what was in my opinion, nonsense.

That’s how you find a career you love!

Ah yes, when they are small they are called tattle tales, and parents don’t want to hear it. But when they are parents when they do the same things with their friends or coworkers it’s called Gossip.

Zoe isn’t becoming a journalist, she’s becoming a Gossip Columnist.

I see a libel attorney growing very rich, indeed.

“No, that’s Opal, over in the ‘Pickles’ strip.

Okay, the fake out punch line got a laugh from me. I’m not proud of it.

Hedda Hopper?

“…news at eleven.”

Tattling is not investigating reporting Zoe. Everything you tattle on happens right in front of you and doesn’t require investigating.

Be afraid of Zoe!!!!

The bubblehead bleach blonde comes on at five….

Zoe’s asking for trouble.

Haha! XD
