watch out for the probe Frank!

Bleeb should be down, looking up, instead of up, looking down!

It could be Wordle .

Yeah – where he’s going, he’s not going to need it.

… Or maybe, if he would just let go, he’d be free.

Maybe they only want the paper he’s holding.

That’s fairly insensitive. He should have dropped the paper the minute he saw what was happening.

She also wants to see the answers for yesterday’s puzzles.

She did not prefer him frankly

Sorry girl, that’s what the aliens want too.

Work it every day. I can unscramble the 4 words in less than 10 seconds total. Can others do this?

Hoo Boy! He is in for one serious P B O R G N I

(I wonder if he’s wearing green plaid pants?)

is that all you care about… what about him being abducted?

At least he now knows where her priorities are.

I remember reading another strip once on the same meme, but it was the wife who was being beamed up, and the husband was shouting to her, “Throw me the remote!”

If it was the Crypto-quip, that would be important.

Jumble? Ai! And a crawfish pie, and a fillet gumbo.

You know you can do the Jumble online now…

Looks like Bleeb finally called home. I hope this isn’t the last time we see him.

I have a feeling the aliens might be doing Frank a favor

Priorities! LOL

Wow. I haven’t done a jumble in years. I almost forgot about them. Now that I think about it, I sort of miss the crossword puzzle too. …sigh

Frank ’n Beams.

That flying saucer appears to be tossing its cookies.

He already did. The message read: “They are already here.”

Bleeb’s a driving instructor! This is gonna get good!!!!!! :)

Gotta do the puzzle!

That’s actually what THEY wanted…(“so THAT’S who’s been stealing my paper!!”

Bleeb planned it all, he seems pretty pleased with himself.

Must have priorities….

Quit messing around, Frank!

How inconsiderate, buy another one…

There are priorities!!!

Is that a figure below the pine tree?

Aliens get ahold of that paper and they will never come back to this planet.

Hey, it’s Bleeb’s carpool!

Priorities!

Regarding priorities. To be totally frank, she’s got it exactly tgrih.
