I’ve solved the problem of the shift key through a delightful expedient: “Sweetheart, would you please correct this mess?” (Jewish readers are doubtless familiar with the phrase “Shalom bayet.”) Tonight’s offering is as follows:After a long time waiting for other aircraft in front of them to take off, an overloaded jetliner finally gets the go-ahead and rumbles down the runway. Once in the air at cruising altitude, the captain says to his co-pilot (completely forgetting he has failed to turn off his in-cabin intercom microphone) “Finally! Well, after a takeoff like that, I’m ready for a hot cup of coffee and a good back rub.” [Some of you may have heard a slightly different version of this story, but not from me, and certainly not on gocomics.]
As a female flight attendant goes running up the aisle to tell the captain to turn off his mic, a male passenger calls out, “Don’t forget the coffee!”
I’m glad to see the lettering back to the way it was, but fear this strip was already in the can and the wide unkerned lettering we’ve suffered through all week will eventually plague the Sunday strip as well.
Who watched the clothes decay for 40 years!? What if the Eagle wanted to stay!? Must be nasty to expend all that effort to get somewhere and they ship you back!!
A lot of clothes are made of plastic: Polyester, nylon, dacron, rayon, acrylic, maybe others. Normal wear, washing, and tumble trying are sources of microplastic.
Great as always. Eromlig, I bet you are sleeping in a recliner. When I had my shoulder done I did not own a recliner but I do now. I had to buy one the next day. I slept in it for 30 nights until I could remove the very uncomfortable shoulder brace.

How long does it take some clothes to compose?

The Latin word for “art” is one letter off — the silent E at the end — from the British vulgar ward fro the buttocks.

What I want to know is: Why was Meadors eating bullets in the first place?

When they took that picture of W. V. Meadors, was he squirming around a lot? It just looks kooky to me.
Apart from that, I got nothing.

Maybe the eagle had a full head of hair before it started its trip to Europe.

My clothes will decompose after 40 years?! So I will be forced to buy a new t-shirt and sweat pants.

I think the Latin word, pronounced as written, is where many art critics and pontificators have their artistic taste and judgement
