Hollywood Outsider

So that’s what Frankie is after in today’s strip! Hollywood gossip! I guess people still follow this sort of thing but the days of journalism Hollywood rags peaked in the 80s with the National Enquirer. I don’t know what dirt Frankie thinks Darin could even have– he’s storyboarder. Only in Tombat’s insane version of Hollywood would a “major star” like Mason Jarre hang out with a jr. storyboard artist.

Off Track

Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. today’s strip returns to the Frankie plot-line which is horrible for two reasons:

1. Whatever these two dopes are plotting, please get on with it! Talking in veiled, coded language just confuses everyone. Even if you came right out and said what your Big Plan was we’d probably still be confused because it’s going to be something really, really dumb.

2. Most of last week’s black and white rambling from Jupiter Jones ended up going absolutely nowhere. One could credit this as a slow-burn sort of plot building but there’s so many loose ends that never get returned to I’m guessing there’s a good chance the jealousy Cindy has may not even be visited again.
