"Game time with the Graevsytes" Dad: Ready kids? Mimi: Almost... Mom: I thought we were going to have a family night of playing monopoly. Dad: They're setting it up now. Just needed to make a banker who's too big to fail first. Mom: Oh, I like the element of catastrophe in this new version! Mimi: Oomph, move over.

I think the banker’s got a nose for business.

No matter what happens, I’m sure Mr. Graevsyte will come out ahead.
I must say though, I don’t like the look of that giant syringe the daughter has in the second panel! >>shudder<<

Not big enough I’m afraid.

Is that Sarah Palin’s portrait on the wall in the last panel? It makes this too perfect!

All good games have an element of catastrophy.

davidbyronhopson, I think you’re right. Maybe that’s what she meant by “the element of catastrophe.”
wicky over 14 years ago
Oh no, that is frau pelosi’s pic on the wall in the last panel.

I checked yesterday comments on the strips I read, and my question about The Dinette Set had disappeared on all of them. MrsLuke said GoComics only read a flagged comment, and to use the Contact Us, which I will do, but someone please flag this. Have to admit I haven’t figured out what flagging is.
Varnes over 14 years ago
Yeah, I love this family, too. (Danae has to be related to them some how…) Oh, and Garey, yeah, that syringe is awesome. I think it’s the one they use when something lasts longer than four hours and you should see your doctor.

My3Sons- I’ve never flagged anyone here- just read that missing strip at Comics.com (as I do) because it often needs their magnifier. I love this one today, the macabre can be VERY funny!

Wiley ‘The Master’ has generated a new line! I hope to see more of the “Graevsytes”
Wiley creator over 14 years ago
Thanks, John, but actually the Graevsytes isn’t new. I created them 8 years ago. It’s just that they haven’t been in the strip for a while.
pawpawbear over 14 years ago
Tooooooo COOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!
Mythreesons over 14 years ago
Thanks, vldazzle-got this mornings strip and bookmarked it to my favorites. I did send a message to GoComics, and their site says they will respond within two days.
vasgar1 over 14 years ago
That was brilliant, I’ve not been reading long enough to see a Graevsytes comic, but I love it! You are a genius Wiley.
policelimit Premium Member over 14 years ago
I should hope so, it says “genius” right by his name.

Raul Julia called from HIS gravesite. He and John Astin have a very dry bone to pick with you, Wiley.
michealdark over 14 years ago
GRAVESYTES! HECK YEAH!
Joseph Krois over 14 years ago
Wasn’t the banker in Monopoly seen as hopelessly corrupt already?…Oh and by the way the term “too big to fail” doesn’t refer to the size of his head (or nose) either… It has to do with the size of his..ah…”cajones?” Sorry…
vldazzle over 14 years ago
Thanks Wiley, good one! I think I remember the characters from before I was logged in to comment. I love the “off beat” -as I just commented over on Luann tonight about a movie my TiVo suggested (“Ruling Class”) that I’ve already purchased ;-)
Lawrence Stetz Premium Member over 14 years ago
But where are they going to find enough liquor to keep the banker happy now?
Me_Again about 14 years ago
Yay, I love the Graevsytes! Oh, and I’m not gonna say who I think is in the picture (actually I don’t know or really care).
