It is nicely drawn but I still prefer the strips from yesteryear when there would be a Sunday story building to a Christmas day ending. Today’s strip could have been used in hundreds of strips. There is nothing that says “Gasoline Alley” at all.
“I out of curiousity , went to look on Gasoline Alley’s TvTropes page, to see what people think of Ida Noe the evil demonic doll.
Literally no mention is made of her.
Then I wonder if Ida Noe was never actually in the comic… and that the “version” that Josh got was actually cursed ;-)
Then I realize that no-one gives a flying f*** to actually want to update Gasoline Alley’s TvTropes page as that would suggest an actual interest in it."
“Holy cripes. I probably got bitter about a bad grade in school once or twice, but never to the point that I wished that someone who took the time to help me work on an assignment would be stranded on a distant uninhabitable planet for eternity. These kids are almost as evil as they look.”
The story, as such, really ended last week but Jimbo dragged this out as long as he could. Five days to get to today’s yock shows how much padding he uses to stretch out his consistently bad stories.
It wasn’t exactly the time of year for shepherds to be herding their flocks. In cold weather, they would be kept at home because of the lack of food.
