    Upton’s mindset: enough time to do scam and then decamp before detection.

    Slim’s mindset:

    (no that wasn’t a mistake)

    But the real Rev Peacegood will probably show up hopping mad very soon, so Upton (and Ramona) will be shambolically trying to formulate a new plan.

    I can’t wait til the real reverend shows up but I still hope to hear a sermon by Upton before that.

    They are all so stupid they will think the real Rev Peacegood is the fake. I hope someday all these really stupid stories will end and we can have something that is not so stupid, or is GA the home for the incurably stupid.

    …I’m wondering what Upton’s first sermon will be about…unless the real reverend shows up before Sunday, which he probably will…

    Thanks axe-grinder and 436rge for the history. The court was progressive also to leave Skeezix with the family he knew rather than return him to the biological parents. Names in this strip are reminiscent of Charles Dickens, especially in this story arc and Skeezix’s musical parents, Octave and Coda.

    Wow, for once I agree with NotNorman…amazing! I have been hoping we’d see something of Chipper and his family once in a while.

    Shades of Tom Bell! I suggest reading “A Mumper Among the Gentle: Tom Bell, Colonial Confidence Man,” by Steven C. Bullock in the William and Mary Quarterly, Third Series, v.55:no.2 1998. Of course Upton’s story will have significant differences, but the layout here struck a chord with me.
