WHY HAS WORDPRESS GONE ALL FUNKY ON ME?

(I seriously have no idea what happened or how to fix because I’m a technological luddite driving a borrowed blogging vehicle I barely understand.)

WHY ARE EMILY AND AMELIA SUDDENLY HIGH SCHOOLERS?

(I know that this Time Mop splash first spilled out in The Burnings arc, but I wanted to reiterate it. They were grade/middle schoolers in May, and then BAM.)

WHY IS EMILY’S LAST NAME NOW REYNOLDS?

(Emily and Amelia’s last name had been stated at least once as Mathews. Though it had hardly ever come up.)

And, as BWOEH said, WHY DOESN’T WESTVIEW HAVE A NEWSPAPER?

But. Most importantly.

WHY BLOG LOOK LIKE THIS?

And now…for your viewing pleasure. More entries in the “CBH DUSK HARVEST” collection.

ADDENDUM BY SPECIAL FAN FAN REQUEST

I had one last post I wanted out on this year’s Pizza Box Monster arc. One last thing to explore before we leave the joys of spooky season (and the horrors of non-stop political ads as hamfisted and braindead as a Snuggie infomercial trying to convince you that your duvet worships Satan,) and enter into the two month long season of frantic shopping and guilty gluttony we annually use to distract ourselves from noticing the world slowly, day by day, growing darker, colder, and more full awful pop music.

So take a break from your doom scrolling! And join me on an exploration of a more innocent time!

Hello all! Hope you had a delightfully spooky week. I was forced to listen to the most tragic World Series games of all time, and dealt with my grief at a cruel world where either the Dodgers (BOO) or the Yankees (HISS) had to win. I ate my feelings in mini sized Halloween candy bar sizes and dreamed of a better place. A bright and beautiful utopia where both could lose it all.

To spare all your necks further strain, and for my own amusement, let’s play a little game with this week’s sideways comics covers.

My questions to you out there in Beady-Eyed Nitpickerville:

1.) Which of these covers is the most tolerable?

2.) Which of these covers is the biggest insult to comics, literature, and the human race as an intelligent species?

3.) Did Tom steal this idea from this blog, and our Time Mop covers of the early months of 2023?

4.) How many copy pasta references can you find?

For example:

I woke up this morning with bold plans for a massive deep dive to go up tonight.

After all, I just needed to unload some soybeans into the grain bins for my dad, and check some cows.

HA

HA HA

Starting in the late 80’s, Batiuk’s obsequious period would end…and his smugly self-righteous period would gradually pick up steam.

The response to ‘Lisa’s Very Special Story About Teen Pregnancy’ was overwhelmingly positive. By Batiuk’s own admission, greater than any response he’d ever gotten. But, of course, there were a couple letters to the editor from people annoyed that their funny pages were being used for edu-tainment pamphlet.

And Batiuk took that criticism like an underbalanced weeble-wobble, dancing joyfully at receiving a weak slap.
