Probably the most truthful thing she’s ever said; the answer is in the question.

The legal ramifications may be out weighed by the social ramifications. You may have a legal defense, but not a social one if the story/lie goes viral.

Life is boring, Danae? I don’t know, we might be living in those “Interesting Times” the Chinese talk about……I think things are just starting to get “interesting”…And they seem to be getting more interesting at an ever increasing rate…Wheeeeee!!

A litigiously inconvenient truth.

I’m beginning to think she spent her summer with Lio.
Varnes over 12 years ago
OK, Danae, let’s go there…What is real life? I have had some vivid dreams that have made me stop and think. Are dreams real life? I was alive when I dreamed it, and if it didn’t really happen, then why do I remember it?. Seams as real as anything else……And why did it change me? As Fire Sign Theater would say…What is reality? Wheeeee…

This a good example why the government caps the Right-to-Know law for 25+ years.

PEOPLE: BEFORE YOU COMMENT, MAKE SURE ITS NOT POLITICAL, FOR WILEY’S SAKE!
Wiley creator over 12 years ago
NO, Lucy is NOT in Danae’s imagination. She’s a “real” horse.
And, please, can’t once just not bring in politics to every cartoon? Just give it a rest.

cheap trick, great hook.
wdgnas over 12 years ago
plausible deniability
LingeeWhiz over 12 years ago
I find it rather egocentric…strange…really, that you can bring politics into a non political subject matter I.e. todays cartoon, and then tell the “trolls” to refrain from adding any political comment to yours.

The names will be withheld to protect the innocent.

And just what dark and deep secrets is Danae alluding to? Was Lucy cleared for ‘a need to know’? Oh yes, there is no statute of limitations for imaginations…….

both parties are “billionaires’ parties”. They own them, manipulate them, and get what they want either way.
It is all, “bait and switch”.

What happens to Danae STAYS with Danae.
Gokie5 over 12 years ago
“Poor Lucy. I know her anthropomorphic character IS Danae’s imagination, . . .”Seems as though I’ve seen Wiley break in here and insist that Lucy is a real horse.
Gokie5 over 12 years ago
Oopsie, I see that Wiley had already done that today.

@Denver Broncos:the word is spelled correctly with 3 "T"s or didn’t you have your glasses on.
Linguist over 12 years ago
For most crimes, in most states, there is a statute of limitations. However… there IS NO statute of limitations on perceived transgression by children according to parents. There are limitations on parental patience but not of their memory of your wrongdoing.So, Danae, you’d best keep everyone on a need to know basis for a very,very,very long time.

Besides, both parties have been hijacked by billionaires.
dpwheel over 12 years ago
@jahoodyI think Denver Broncos was making a joke. A limitation on statues is a nice twist…..hmmmmmmmmm?
Varnes over 12 years ago
Statue of Limitations? I support the right of Venus de Milo to bear arms!

Love the strip.Avoid the comments. (Cuts down on my heartburn.)

What I want to know is why her Father is still tolerating her after all these years….seriously ….her father should have gone over the edge by now.

That’s why its a Chinese curse: “May you live in interesting times”.
