So what’s Robbie’s story? Does he have any issues, or is Batiuk just incapable of drawing appealing children? For now, Robbie exists as a prop. He hasn’t been given any lines…can he speak? How old is he? Who’s his daddy? Was he conceived in the back of a van? Are his tiny arms a clue to some type of irregularity? Let’s have some backstory here! Robbie’s issues aside, I must admit that it’s a nice change to see Pvt. Winkerbean finally “at ease”.

Colorado Calling
| Hi, Wally. So what do you think: is Batiuk going to finally let you have a normal life, and stop portraying you as a basket case? | Jeez, Rache, I hope so. After having me seemingly blown up (I was really playing a video game), stepping on a landmine, taken prisoner, flipping out in public… | …yeah, I would say that son of a bitch owes me big time! Oh, and Colorado’s nice. I’m never coming back to Westview. Have a nice life. Bye! |
Puppies on Parole
Puppies Without Punchlines
Epic run-on sentence in panel one. Apparently it’s impossible to describe Puppies Behind Bars without using a run-on sentence. How anyone would conflate PBB with Doctors Without Borders, though, is beyond me.
