Sometimes dreams come true.

Bounty hunters don’t kidnap the quarry. they apprehend them.

Mombo Queen! I guess she still loves her mother, as long as she doesn’t have to deal with Unkle Stupidhead.

Everyone has been dishonest with their parents. It is part of growing up.

Shut up, stupidhead.

Good answer.

What Alex felt about Zeke by giving him up is equivalent to some kid with an automatic weapon doing away with an adult they don’t like today. It happens.

Duke let him make a call? Duke’s softening…lol

Yes, Alex gave Zeke up in the house, but somebody gave him up days before that — Unless you believe that Duke-spiel last week about magazines and phonebooks.

Now who had the means, opportunity and MOTIVE to grass up Ol’ Barf-breath? Any thoughts, Alex?

Uncle Stupidhead really misinterprets his relationship with Alex.

I think JJ’s getting precisely what she deserves. But really, you guys, don’t you know sarcasm when you see it? Alex does a great job of pushing the knife in and turning it.

Never, ever trust Duke. It’s not that I think he’s lying. I just don’t believe him.

Zeke: A legend in his own mind.

How did Alex get from her mom’s house to Mike’s?

Do you have any idea how often that kid has researched “restraining order” on the Internet?

“Because that would increase the chances of his coming back home.”

Over time, Alex’s become really my favorite character in this strip.

It’s a dream come true for Alex!

Ey Mombo! Mombo Italiano ey Mombo!

This site was down (again) when I first looked for this, fortunately it didn’t take several days to fix. Now I’m wondering why it isn’t colorized. Previous reruns were, and it’s in color on ArcaMax. What’s going on with GoComics, does anyone know?

Alex worships Zeke?

I still don’t know why Duke and Earl are taking Zeke back on the bus, when they apparently had a car (Duke told Earl, “Bring the car around”). I don’t remember if that was explained in the first run of these strips.

JJ tried to put up one of her sculptures as collateral for Zeke’s bail.The police arrested HER.
