Fair to Middling

…is Les gone? Oh, thank God.

So long has it been since we last saw Wally, Rachel and Buddy that whoever colors these strips has forgotten that Rachel was a redhead, and Buddy is a Golden (not Silver) Retriever. Comparing today’s strip with this strip from nearly two years ago shows what a difference Buddy the Wonder Dog has made in Wally’s life. Back then, it was Rachel who dragged Wally to the fair, where his anxiety immediately got the better of him. These days, it’s Wally who takes the initiative (weirdly waiting until they are already getting into the car to suggest a destination). It’s unclear how the dog developed a fried pickle addiction in the two years since their last fair visit.

How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All?

By the way, keep in mind that Les is about to head to the airport and fly across the world to Africa. I don’t want to spoil anything for anybody, but just remember that he will presumably be in Africa this time next week.

Welcome to the Funkiverse, where there is no word for the concept of “continuity”.

How can someone who fancies himself a “writer” be so sloppy about continuity? Yep, here’s Les, whom we last saw being dropped off at the airport a week ago. Maybe it’s Les’ doppelgänger ? Nope. C’mon, who else besides Les Moore is going to look for a George Orwell reference where none would exist?
