This strip is becoming self-aware, when one of the characters realizes how pathetic it is that Thick has been assigned as a combined delivery boy and dog-walker.
Thick, in panel #3 the proper response is “What are you going to do? Bleed on me?” Also, don’t flash those adorable bedroom eyes at him unless you mean business.
In Sunday’s comments, one person wrote about Sam’s testicle chin.
Another person put in a comment that said: ” but to refer to Sam as “Testicle Chin” shows a dirty mind.”
Well, the last two seasons of Law and Order and also Law and Order SVU - the word “Prick” was used many times on those prime time television shows.
I felt that NBC was starting to go a little bit too far for primetime. I live in central time zone where network shows are seen an hour earlier here and young children are still up.
The word “Testicle” is a proper word.
You can find it in the dictionary.
The comment could have said:
It looks like Sam has a “Set of Balls” for a Chin”
So, if you did not like the word testicle,I would suggest to you… don’t watch the show
With a little practice, Thick will be able to tell Mordred, “Heel!” The good doctor already knows how to “Speak!” Now to find a fire plug. Thick might have to help Mordred on that trick.
If Spacy says the secret word, Groucho Mordred’s duck will fly down and give him 50 bucks. Fortunately for Spacy, it’s the only animal that could make it through this weather.
Rain cruelly lashes him in the face
As he braves the elemental fury
Will he be lost without a trace
Perhaps on his way he should hurry
Trading barbs with the doc
Water rising to their knees
Maybe in it they should put a sock
And climb into the trees
But Locher has space to fill
So this will go on and on
Just stir in a mess of swill
That seems to be the sine qua non
A mask that shows emotion
A wonder surely to behold
Lends credence to the notion
That Locher is way too old
Where and when this will end
Is a mystery that truly baffles us
Upon its course it must wend
No matter how we much cuss and fuss.
Thank you BillT for your comment on Saturday.
Would someone be so kind as to educate me in how to post a picture. I believe I have found Mordred’s inspiration.
You should be poet laureate of the United States - you have the ability to write brilliant topical works on the spur of the moment, and have demonstrated that ability over and over and over … too bad Thick Spacey gives you so much material !!!
As for todays strip, do they intend to start moving any time soon or are they just going to continue with this horrible excuse for banter until they both drown?
I have no problem with the word “testicle” it’s just that I would have never thought of Sam’s chin looking like that. After all, a lot of men have a cliff or dividing chin. Look at Kirk Douglas. I once knew a preacher who thought church steeples were bad because they represented penis’, he claimed. I had seen church steeples for years and no such thing ever entered my mind! You only see those things if you’re looking for them. And if you are it means you have sex on your mind a lot. To me, sex is a beautiful and personal thing. I guess that’s why I don’t see things like that so easily. THAT was my point, not the word itself.
Why don’t we do what the Brenda Starr fans are doing? Go back to the beginning of the GoComcs archive and read one strip a day and comment on it? The story there is 8 years old and we’ve pretty much forgotten it anyhow. Besides, it would be great to see the old Annie gang reassemble.

VistaBill, Isn’t that what Thick does with Mordred?

BillThompson said, “VistaBill, Isn’t that what Thick does with Mordred?”
It appears that he does walk Mordred, but I’m not sure about the oiling.
“Trust your (insert name) to the man who wears the star!”

VistaBill, maybe the oiling is this week’s plot development. This arc has more subtext than an entire season of “Xena: Warrior Princess.”
