   Talk about a Boltz out of the blue, mann.

   Remember friends fondly, and take comfort in reunions at the bridge.

   Good morning, crew. And thanks for the reminder, Governor : )

   Hopefully that’s not one of the liver pills Doc prescribed for Walt back in 1957, which have been sitting in the side table drawer all these years…

   Hokay, there’s a two-part classics update for the 9th which was just posted… PLUS a four-part update for the 8th that went up about five hours ago…

   AND in case you missed something, you might scroll all the way back to the updates for the 6th, which is when the schedule got fouled up. Luckily, no one was killed. This time.

   So again, a two part classics update for the 9th – which gets the railroad back on time:

   Our Starr shows up in her own strip for a change, and she shows up at Puffmore’s to talk to Nevera. Billow isn’t speaking to her, because you never go against the family when it comes to business.

   Big Shot Wilmer Bobble stops by the garage at the height of the gas shortages, ignores the NO GAS TODAY sign, and brushes off “the fat kid” to get to the man with the juice, who can fill up his luxury car, probably so he can drive out to his exclusive country club. A battle of half-wits seems inevitable here.

   A classics update for the 8th has cleared the tower, and it’s a full range of offerings:

   Oh, no! It’s a home invasion in the Alley! Hopefully everyone is safe, and figure out what was taken later.

   Quyat has a number of chores to do every day when he gets home from school, and sometimes the additional chore of shoveling eight inches of snow off the walk leading to the street.

   Howie Druels is putting a lot of money into one big broadcast, or possibly the million dollars in prices will be split up over 13 weeks. For his sake, I hope he left enough lead time for enough publicity, to properly exploit the event.

   With gas supplies running low even inside people’s gas tanks… maybe this is a good excuse for Slim to start walking to and from the important work of pointing to the “NO GAS TODAY” sign. Whadda ya say, Kid?

   This is not the Brenda Starr I remember (not sure I’d say I was a regular reader) seeing in the funny pages of the 1970s.

   I’ve pretty recently got into “Heathcliff”, or at least it got into my feed… but I’m not sure if the word for it is “absurdist” or “surrealist”.

   The Brenda strip started off with some fairly linear adventure stories, leavened with outlandish characters and an extra dose of humor – but I have no frikkin idea what the current plot is supposed to be, it’s like Messick just keeps throwing bizarre elements on top of each other, hoping that a way out of all this will occur to her.

   It’s like someone unraveled a ball of string, dropped it on the floor, then started going at it with a scissors for awhile… so, so many loose ends.

    “Nate wouldn’t hurt me”, said the spider to the fly.

    “Me neither”, said the fly. “What a guy!”

    Good morning, crew!
