   Based on previous strips that involved Sam eating, I don’t think he keeps Kosher.

   Interesting Tiff and Luann are on reasonably good terms now, though that happens, I guess.

   Happy days!

   Oh, boy, what a ridiculous movie. Patrick Swayze was arguably an even worse actor, so maybe that helped her a bit. I remember watching “A Few Good Men” and thinking, why did they cast her.

   Don’t really see that. Luann had Quill, for example, who certainly seemed more appealing than Nil. Tiffany is always implied to have enjoyed the attentions of many guys, though we don’t really see it. And she could have Ox in a heartbeat. Meanwhile, what about Phil?

   Please, noe.

   I like this read on Sam. Like this writer in general.

   I’m more inclined to agree with firestrike1.

   If the implication is that Pa Totten worked under Himmler in the SS, it’s a stretch. Even if he were in his early 20s at the time, that would make him over 100 now.

    LP mastering did not usually involve high-frequency filtering; it was just a struggle to get very high frequencies onto and off of a vinyl record. Anyhow, there are many other issues with LPs. It’s nearly impossible to get frequency response flat enough for the errors not to be audible. Dynamic range is pretty limited, especially at low frequencies. Impulse noise. Audible time-base errors (wow and flutter) are almost inevitable. Phono cartridges (some worse than others) tend to generate excess vertical stylus motion at high frequencies, resulting in excess L-R information in the output. This can masquerade as greater depth or width in the stereo image, but it’s essentially fake.
