    Slim seems to be discumbumulated.

    - – - – -

    As for the classics, it’s a full update – and solidly meeting deadline for the 8th!

    The Wallets board the train for home, though there probably won’t be any campaign speeches from the back of the Maple Ripples Special.

    It’s a rapid conclusion to our current story, Shady Lane didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye, or get his comeuppance for that matter – I’m sure he’ll return again down the road.

    A thinly veiled AP clone has shown up in The Flash’s newsroom, I guess looking to syndicate Brenda and Chug-Chug stories on the Big Stare. What they’ve found so far doesn’t seem all *that newsworthy, unless maybe if you ran a fashion magazine.

    That 1973 Slim doesn’t snap, what with his car being stuck in a pipe – with Castor Spell and Clovia both berating him to high heaven… that’s possibly how he ends up fleeing from a laundry detergent monster some 51 years later.

    I don’t know who is more stupid—Slim or Rufus.

    Ricky should have done this on “I Love Lucy.”

    Has anybody checked with Jim lately to see if he stopped taking his meds?

    So does Slim want Clovia to come quick, or to not get up? Because those seem like mutually exclusive requests.

    From Peanut Gallery over at the Curmudgeon:

    “Oh, for goodness sake! Laurel & Hardy did that gag almost 100 years ago, and it’s been used by every hack comedy writer since!”
