When proven wrong, either “double down” and dig a deeper hole, attack the person delivering the message either by insulting their intelligence or by accusing them of a “witch hunt”, point to something else and yell, “LOOK OVER THERE – SHINY THING,” or its corollary: somebody else is more wrong than me (a non sequitur), or make up your own facts on the spot or just declare it fake news.
I’m not quite sure I’ve seen Danne’s approach before – acknowledge you’re wrong but go on anyway.
The desire for treasure temporarily out-weighed reason for back-up singers, Fern and the Geniuses, but they’ve now seen the light. Wonder if Darrin also noted it was done with felt tip on ruled notebook paper.
Lol…from a resident of Kennebunkport. Love this comic strip and went to online subscription after a local paper dropped it over a minor faux pas in print occurred a couple of years ago.

That’s not correct. The British system of Copyright was set up in 1710.

Does the map show a port — Kenney Bunk Port?

Kenny Bunk…Port? I wonder who’ll get that one….

It’s not the copyright date that proves the map is fake, it’s that the copyright date was printed in the Papyrus typeface which was created in 1982.

Danae is usually slightly off the rails. Wonder where they’ll end up?

Is this a very tame version of ‘’Treasure Island’’?

Captain Kenny Bunk!!!!! Nice inside joke for folks familiar with Maine towns. I have a cousin who lives in Kennebunk.

So funny — Kenny Bunk is actually Kennebunk and there is Kennebunkport and also Kennebec — we have all the “Kennes” here in Maine.
