Weekend Workshop: Is that still a thing?
It is! I just haven't done it in a while. I always mean to, but it's the weekend...
Just one letter...
Obviously this could never happen, because Sarah is effortlessly brilliant at everything.
There was originally an actual joke in this strip, so I edited it to be more consistent with the rest of Arlo and Janis.
I don't even know why I did this one.
Gunther's mum, has got it going on, she's all that Quill wants and he's waited for so long. Oh Luann can't you see...

Sitcom Thursday: Straight to the Moon
Crock, 2014-05-16.
"Starting today there'll be extra meat rations for all" says Crock.
The men cheer.
"The men love you, sir" says a legionnaire.
"I loved that ol' horse of mine, too" says Crock.
I guess the implication here is supposed to be that the extra meat ration is horse, so, ha ha, it's funny 'cause they're eating horse. But they're in the French foreign legion, and horse meat is actually eaten in France. This strip only works if you ignore the entire premise of the comic.
Beetle Bailey, 2014-05-20.
Sgt. Snorkel examines what appears to be an almost life-size statue of Pvt. Bailey.
"What's that?" he asks. "It sort of looks like Beetle."
"I built it..." says Cpl. Yo. "It's a robot"
"How does it work?" asks the sergeant.
"It doesn't!" says Yo, happily.
Oh, just like the real Beetle. I get it.
Seriously though, Cpl. Yo made a statue just so he could do this joke. That's dedication.
Hi and Lois, 2014-05-20.
Hi is at work when his phone rings.
"Who is this?" he asks.
"Abercrombie. You garbage man." says the person on the other end of the call. "Has your wife talked to you about all this stuff she's throwing away?"
Meanwhile at the Flagston residence, Abercrombie is indeed on the phone to Hi and is looking at a pile of things that have been left out for him to take away, including some records, sporting equipment and an old TV.
People in comic strips have really weird relationships with the garbage collectors. My garbage gets taken away by people I don't know and have never met. I don't even know what time they come around.
Beetle Bailey, 2014-05-21.
Pvt. Bailey and Sheila are sitting on a bench together by the ocean.
"Beautiful moon!" says Bailey.
"Did I ever tell you of my trip to the moon?" asks Sheila.
"You took a trip to the moon?" asks Beetle. "When?"
"The first time you kissed me" says Sheila.
The thing I love about this is that Beetle is absolutely ready to believe that Miss Buxley has been to the moon, he just doesn't remember her being away.

Sitcom Thursday: War and Ennui
Molly is on the phone.
"Mother!" she says. "Moose got a job today! Security guard on an armored truck"
Meanwhile, Moose is at work. While his coworker wasn't looking, Moose has stuffed his clothes full of money to such an extent that it is clearly visible poking out everywhere and is grinning like a loon. Money is loosely piled up inside the truck and spilling onto the ground.
"Moose —" says his colleague, "it happens to everyone the first day! Just put it back"
"When do you think the general will retire?" asks Pvt. Blips.
"Gee, I don't know" says Sheila. "And I'm not sure I could tell if he was retired!"
Gen. Halftrack might take offence to that comment if he'd heard it and actually gave half a shit about his job. But in fact he was practising his putting and not paying attention.
"We have to work tonight" says Crock.
"Whatever" replies a legionnaire indifferently.
"You say 'whatever' one more time and I'll wring your neck!" says Crock. "I'm tired of hearing it!"
"Whatever" says the legionnaire.
It's funny, because Crock will probably actually follow through on his threat and the legionnaire is so numbed by the daily horrors of war that he can no longer muster up even so much as the will to live.

"What did you do before joining the legion, Myers?" asks one legionnaire of another.
"I was a mime," says the other, "but I got fired"
"I never heard of a mime getting fired" says the first.
"Of course not" says the second.
You see, mimes are generally not very high-profile entertainers and the members of the French Foreign Legion are posted in a remote desert, so it's not surprising.

The lost patrol find a sign that says "The fort is this way" and voice their solemn agreement. As they leave the text of the sign changes to read "Perhaps".

"I'd like to have a big, gooey piece of chocolate candy" says Grossie.
Suddenly an angry, lumpy, misshapen fairy appears with a "poof!"
"The chocolate fairy says 'poo on goo'" says the fairy.
"What if I split it with you?" asks Grossie.
"The chocolate fairy says ...'no poo on goo'" says the fairy happily.
Grossie turns to smile at the audience with a sort of half shrug, as if to say "Fairies, right? What can you do?"

"Oh, my hometown paper says Cousin Cronfill died" says one legionnaires sadly to another.
"Was the funeral service nice?" asks his companion, sadly.
"The headline said it was 'to die for'" answers the first legionnaires, narrowing his eyes. "Subtlety was never our editor's strong suit"
The second legionnaires gazes blankly off in another direction as though he has already forgotten that he was having a conversation.
