Sorry, I’ve noticed a trend where cartoonists have a good idea but are too lazy to make sure their drawing of the idea is accurate. Sperm whales aren’t called killer whales, Orca’s are. Not any harder to draw, and support the joke. As opposed to sperm whales kill their prey so the joke sort of works anyway. If you have to work that hard to get the joke to go with the drawing, start over.
Ummm, the comic is a tribute to Jimmy Carter, the most underappreciated president in history, and an incredibly decent man. Can we just take a minute to acknowledge that before bouncing to a pop culture debate?
A secondary theme that everybody has missed so far is Arlo is complaining about how his college team is now semi-pro with all the NIL and other payments. Long gone are the days of playing for the thrill of competition and and rooting for your team out of appreciation for their unpaid efforts. Sometimes I feel like Jimmy is reading my mind. Especially with a breakup of the pac-12 for strictly money grab reasons. University of Washington playing Rutgers. What the heck is that about.
This is supposed to be the comics section, not the puzzle section. Too many Huh? jokes with no real humor even if we can figure them out. Sorry, but I’m done with this strip.
Thanks for the repeat of the origin story. I’ve enjoyed your strip since I first bumped into it during COVID, but didn’t understand the reason for the primary relationship it explores and have never had time to go back to the beginning.
