Transcript:
Honey: I got some more firewood, sir. Where do you want it? Duke: Throw it on the bonfire. We want to be ready in case a ship passes. Honey: Do you really think we'll be rescued soon, sir? Duke: Of course we will! We're right in the middle of the busiest sea lane in the South Atlantic. Honey: I hope so, sir. Our supplies are getting very low. Duke: I know. Look, that reminds me, you better take this and see if you can get us a wild boar or something for dinner. Honey: Um... as the man, shouldn't you be bringing home the bacon, sir? Duke: Well, yeah, I would if it weren't for my bum knee.

Wait a minute. I suddenly realized that we’re back to pre-hiatus strips. Last week’s strips were from 1984. Why are they jumping back and forth like this?
Yngvar Følling over 9 years ago
I know, but that’s not what I was talking about. Last week’s “classic” strips were from 1984. Mike was getting a new job, and he’d both graduated and gotten married since we last saw him. It had been years. While now we’re continuing with Duke and Honey’s shipwreck storyline back from 1982, only a couple of days, tops, since we last saw them. It’s all out of sequence. By the time Mike got his advertising job, Duke moved to Haiti.

She’s a communist! She shouldn’t be thinking of “male roles and female roles”.

Beware of having a bad knee when you’ve just handed someone a sharp stake and instructed her to find dinner.

Did the strip just return to 1982 this week?

can’t wait to see what happens and read the comments, I went back and reread this storyline. But I am not going to reveal what happens next, the comments should be hilarious
I have every book of collected strips since Gary’s college days. Its been a long strange trip, but Gary has had a very sharp pencil, and way back when Nixon was president, he used it to great effect. He did an excellent job on GW Bush also.

The passengers were picked up by Her Majesty’s Navy and are sipping tea and nibbling on scones.

@Caligulla“a bi-weekly maid and the occasional hooker are cheaper.”.But then you have to add in the cost of replacing what the maid stole and what the hooker stole and the shots for what the hooker gave you and the treatments for what can’t yet be cured which the hooker gave you and the guilty conscience related to dealing in human trafficking with both the maid and the hooker…..Oh, to be asexual and a slobI guess one out of two is something.
