Zoe here is certainly in the running for the Lucy Van Pelt award for Most Annoying Comic Strip Character, Pre-Teen Division. Who else would be in contention? Any candidates?
A couple of years ago I was watching a Monday Night Football game when a player on the Buffalo Bills (Damar Hamlin) suddenly collapsed on the field. As it became apparent that he was experiencing a life threatening medical event, ESPN kept cutting away to commercials. Almost every time they did, the commercial would be that Burger King ad.
A couple months ago I replaced one of my bedroom nightstands and put the old one out in the front yard by the curb. I put a “free” sign on it and posted an ad on FB Marketplace. Three days later I get a letter from the Code Enforcement office in my town. It said I had to remove the old nightstand or face a possible fine for “leaving abandoned furniture in the front yard”. Here’s the thing- my neighborhood doesn’t have an HOA. Apparently one of my neighbors called the CE office to complain instead of coming to me to ask about it.
One of the reasons I bought my house is because it’s in a non-HOA area, but apparently it doesn’t matter. I guess I should be happy that I’m not paying fees.
As I recall, Cho had hidden the “Donkeypunch” comic in the original Liberty Meadows web site from back in the early 2000s. It was one of those deals where if you hovered the mouse cursor over certain sections of the home screen it would highlight an area to click and see his banned and hidden strips. I don’t know if the old website can be accessed any more, but if you can find it the hidden strips might still be there.
Merry Christmas to you as well! I only recently discovered your comic, but in the short time I’ve been reading it’s rapidly becoming one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, and may the coming year bring you much happiness and prosperity!
Astonishing. A cartoonist draws a comic strip to be posted on Christmas Eve which includes a biblical passage that has a somewhat hopeful message, and people STILL find a way to argue and complain about it. God Bless Us, Everyone.
Unless you count the cats and the dog, we don’t have any impressionable little ones in our house. That means we do most of the Christmas activities later today- We do Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, enjoy a few Christmas cookies while watching the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol, and of course opening the presents! Tomorrow morning we’ll have our customary Christmas breakfast of homemade waffles with some bacon and sausage, but then we veg out the rest of the day.
Yesterday some drunken idiot running from the cops in his truck tried to evade them by driving into a local mall where he hit and injured 4 to 5 people.
