Crabgrass by Tauhid Bondia for June 10, 2023

Bring ’er down Kevin!

Now we know what he would do for a Klondike bar.

And Kevin’s mother gets a call from Albany…

OK, I called it wrong: this arc ends with BOTH of them in the hospital!

Maybe Tauhid will change the name of the strip to, “What will Kevin break in this story arc?”

No, you don’t.

Smack down on the pavement.

Hmmm. I’m missing the old artwork. And the old storyline. When they were just little boys. Now they’re not. Guess I could just unfollow…

What? You’re not gonna go back and help Miles?

Why and how is an ice cream truck doing a wheelie?

I wish Tauhid worked for DC or Marvel. I would start buying comic books again. This artist just rocks it every panel.

Kevin has definitely seen way too many action films. I expect this to be his Wiley Coyote moment.

This is not good. “I got this” is right up there with “Hold my beer and watch this”

Don’t let the familiarity-biased trolls get you down, Tauhid!

Great work, as always!

And with Sunday comics not being part of the arc, we won’t know what happens next till Monday. Cliffhanger (or in Miles’ case, branchhanger)

Pouncing tiger, sugar craving maniac! Get that brain freeze, Kevin!

This is just like me when I was a kid! No, not Kevin. I’m Miles…

Monday…

Thud I don’t got it…

If Miles is stuck on that twig, he’ really is pretty much of a lightweight.

This arc reminds me of a really weird thing – some years ago, an ice-cream truck started travelling around the neighbourhood – in winter. Seriously, this van would drive by, music playing, and stop just up the street in the pouring rain. We couldn’t understand this (he got no sales, of course) but we looked forward to summer with an ice-cream van – but it never showed up that summer! Blistering hot Australian summer, but no ice-cream truck. Then, next winter, the weather’s getting wet and unpleasant again and – you guessed it – the ice-cream van comes back! This went on for a couple of years – bizarre!
