In Security by Bea R. for June 15, 2018

I still want that sword.

And if it is not a winged Viking helmet, what did Bea draw in detail this time?

Is that a JunkIphone?

And so, Sedine is doomed to wander this bleak, post-apocalyptic landscape which resembles the setting of so many ‘90’s Sci-Fi films. ✨

Lamps.

Bicycles.

Cans.

Fish Heads.

No Bea comments yesterday.

Hopefully only because it was the day they drove 30 miles to get groceries.

Let’s just hope that this “Junkyard” doesn’t come complete with its own “Junkyard Dog. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

In panels 1 and 4 in her silhouette, it’s difficult to tell if she’s wearing shorts or a mini.

That phone still has a full charge, it must run on repressed emotion! XD

I wonder if we’re gonna get a new character? Hey, you don’t suppose that’s Ms. Edith’s old phone and one of her kids on the other end?

At the bottom of the first panel, about 2/3 of the way over …

Think that’s the “Holy Grail” from “Sailor Moon.” ✨

We’ve been getting “Five Panel Days” so often, almost forgot to call that out today. ✨

In My Man Godfrey, Carol Lombard goes to the City Dump to find a forgotten man and discovers William Powell. Sedine, our junk yard Queen, is alone on her own with a mystery phone. This situation stinks. Nothing some tub time won’t cure. Fill the tub and fetch soap and scrub brush, Sam. Sedine needs a bubble bath.

That might be the “Eye Of Agamotto (… comics version) towards the lower right of Panel #1.

Love the shape of the word balloons coming out of the discarded phone. ✨❤️✨

I’m imagining she will end turning into some kind of amazon.

She’s very definite about not being her mother. Is she that sure?

HK, if Bea wanted to drive us crazy, she’d draw 4 panels in the style of the new Nancy. Then in the 5th panel, Sedine would wake up and say, “No more butterscotch on my green tea ice cream.”

Sedine, Rule #1: If you’ve been buried in garbage and have been rolling around in a dump DO NOT put your finger in your mouth!!

We’ve lost so many classic comic strip characters who ignored that one simple rule. Happy Hooligan would still be with us if he hadn’t licked his finger while polishing a tin can he found at the dump’s haberdashery department. And what about The Little Hitchhiker? A trip to the dump, a barely-noticed lick of a digit, and he was no more. Were not his dying words, “Nov shmoz ka pop,” enough of a warning to you, Sedine? Gargle with some cartoon bleach NOW! I hate going to cartoon funerals… so many carefully-drawn tears, so much spilled ink.

Permission granted to use antique joke:“Whenever I’m down in the dumps I get myself a new hat.”“Oh, I’ve always wondered where you got them, dearie.”

Landfills almost always lead to revelation

What if that person’s mom is in the junkyard too..?

Two more Easter Eggs?

1. The magic bottle cap under the Ring in today’s 2nd panel.

2. Pikachu’s head to Sedine’s right in yesterday’s strip.

Or not.

Instead of panel counting, for a really obscure fact, I think today is the first time the standard count two flies are both flying in the same direction: Counterclockwise.

It’s a crazy world out there, Sedine… Perhaps you’re safer in the dump.

Am I wrong in thinking that Sedine looks extra hot all messed up like this? Like Sam, I like her wild hair look a lot!

Amazing how she can still look so hot and be in a dump. How does she do that?

Can we see an arc about the person on that cellphone? I bet the backstory would be interesting. Poor fella. Wonder what happened?
