Let Me Axe You Something

Today’s strip show’s Tom B’s uncanny ability to turn the human head into a hatchet as Holly can scarcely believe her luck at getting yet *another* rare Starbucks Jones comic for next to nothing.

Considering the last guy charged her a buck, I guess this deal is even sweeter. What’s next? Will someone pony up the money to cover her gas money for the drive out to pick up the comic?

Once again, TomBat tries to push us into a corner by making us feel like if we’re criticizing these comics, we’re being critical of our brave men and women in the armed forces. But this nonsense is so far removed from reality that Cory might as well be fighting in the Unicorn Wars.

Blond Moments

Holly = fat, frumpy and blonde with misshapen head. Donna = fat, frumpy and blonde with HORRIBLY misshapen head. Got it.

Throw another shrimp on the barbie ’cause here comes another middle-aged blonde woman! The fact Mindy rhymes with Cindy and she’s Cindy– err, Cynthia Summers’s doppelganger isn’t helping matters in today’s strip. Living outside of Westview seems to have some advantages though, you don’t randomly wake up every six or seven years to find you’ve suddenly aged a decade overnight.

I don’t want to peek ahead, but I feel like I’m Nostradamus or something with what is about to go down. The thing is, Batty Tom has already done the Hey, stranger, your son is in the military? Have my $900 comic for a dollar.” schtick. I assume the more issues she gets the ones left over are scarcer and worth more money.

Not to coin nerd out here, but it’d be like finding out a friend of your coworker’s nephew from out-of-town is working on a penny collection so you offer to sell him a 1877 Indian Head Cent in XF condition for one cent because you think kids that still collect pennies are cute.
