Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Well, that takes care of any Sentinel subscribers who have grade-schoolers and just happen to live on Ed’s route. And since most of the meeting attendees appear to be well past child-bearing years, the odds are that’s going to be a rather miniscule percentage.
Monday: “It’s our annual shareholders meeting, comprised of 3 people who live together, and should already know!” Tues: “He will never walk again! It’s funny!” Weds: “Let us now repeat that info, to the only people who already know! Also, there will be no more punchlines in this strip forever!”
I have a question about the border in panel #3. Are those supposed to be puffy clouds, indicating a dream or thought panel? If so, why are the puffy clouds only in the corners? I thought photo corner thingamabobs in the Batiukverse were reserved for memories. Has Ed delivered ‘The Sentinel’ via school bus in the past? If he has, why isn’t the panel sepia-toned? Some consistency would be nice.
I am also curious about who is dreaming of the panel #3 scenario. Is it Skip? Or Crankshaft? Or is it up to the reader to decide?
It seems like poor Dan Davis is struggling with what to draw. As a self-proclaimed “storyteller,” why can’t Batiuk provide better guidance?
Too busy reading comic books and writing self-aggrandizing blogs?
Since just about everybody who’s likely to subscribe to the Sentinel is already in the room, how about just handing them their copies and inviting them back next week?

“And here’s your Mourning Sentinel! I know, I’m sorry to see it too!”

Most people would give Skip the back-of-me-hand treatment, but I’ll settle for giving him the cold shoulder.

Wouldn’t Crankshaft just say “Fetch!”

The delivery area is so small they only have one elderly delivery driver in an old clunker. How does this paper stay in business?

Seems like a good opportunity for a joke, instead of just here’s your morning sentinel.

There is money in being the newspaper of record.

Yep, this makes sense. People get their paper late and the kids are super late for school. It’s a win-win.

For a print newspaper to survive the whole town would have to be over70

He should just leave the newspapers in the mailboxes. Oh, wait.
