Don't Blame Your Wife for This, Brutus

March 8, 1987

Introducing the great character find of 1987. Edgar Darling!! Move over Brutus Thornapple, Edgar will be taking over the strip in a year or two!

I love that second panel and the idea that Veeblefester Tea Cozies, Inc. is at the top of a nice skyscraper in the middle of a mid-sized metropolis with other skyscrapers towering around it and a nice central park within walking distance. It's much better than the industrial park I currently picture when I read the strip.

As long as we're doing this, I feel calling Veeblefester "chief" is a bit informal. Veeblefester is the CEO of this company and "chief" doesn't show the proper amount of respect. We can just go with Mr. Veeblefester and leave it at that.

Does Veeblefester know his name is misspelled on his door? That's clearly two Es there. His name's not spelled VEEBLEEFESTER...
