Just a Regular Sunday

March 6, 1988

So Wastrel not only has an account at this bank, even if it only has a couple bucks in it, but he also has a checkbook? Wastrel also is confident enough to storm the bank, walk right past the guard and just go into the president's office.

Did Wastrel go to Yale or did he fish that shirt out of a trash can? And if he did go to Yale, why does Art hate Yale?

Grumpy. If Veeblefester were one of the seven dwarves, he'd be Grumpy. You can't just create new dwarves when the seven dwarves already exist. There's no reason that dwarves are like Smurfs and there's dozens or hundreds of them each with a different personality. There's seven, end of story.

Not only is Brutus working on Sunday, he's working on Easter Sunday. I hope he's getting double overtime. I don't care if he is salaried, give him overtime.

The April 1952 comics of Chris Welkin, Planeteer will be posting later this week. You can get caught up here. If you would like to support me or this website, you can go through the About page.

It's Already 6 - 0?!!

May 20, 1967

The size of the hat explains maybe three of the cards lying there, but not the others or the one currently in the air and completely off-target.

I'm sure there are better uses for those cards. Play some solitaire...

I could've sworn Wilberforce played the outfield. I guess Wilberforce can play both, but Wilberforce being pitcher seems...wrong, somehow.

We still have eight more innings of this humiliation.

Coordinating Shirt and House

May 19, 1967

On the plus side, it looks like Wilberforce is gonna get knocked off the car and get a concussion from the "drive-in" sign. Unfortunately, the paramedics and having to explain why you didn't know a child was on top of your car might ruin the movie-going experience.

The sign reads "Politicians kiss babies, baby, so why can't I kiss you?".

Crocuses are low-lying flowers so I don't know if you'd be able to see them "sticking up through the snowdrift". I agree with Gladys' reaction in the last panel. I walked over here for this?!

(Not) Going Green

Courtroom sketch by Dana Verkouteren

President Trump showed up at the Supreme Court to intimidate the justices see how his Solicitor General is handling his birthright citizenship argument. Trump doesn't believe there should be birthright citizenship in the United States because he's a racist piece of shit and those people don't vote for him he thinks it only applies to children of slaves. I don't know, but the 14th Amendment is pretty clear and has been settled law since 1898. I don't think birthright citizenship will be discarded, because think of the can of worms that would open up. What I do think will happen, as has happened in nearly every other case Trump has lost, is Trump will be given a blueprint on how to eliminate birthright citizenship legally and constitutionally. Essentially he'll be told to go through Congress. The 14th Amendment can be easily (re: not easily) removed through an amendment. I mean, Trump will never get 2/3rds of Congress to approve and 34(?) states to ratify it by November or even 2028, but he can try.

It's hilarious to me that Trump controls each branch of the government and he can't advance his agenda. It shows just how unpopular his agenda is with just the people he has to work with. Since he can't push his agenda through the way he's supposed to, he's forced to go through unconstitutional, vague, and/or impotent executive orders which end up getting struck down by the courts, who usually tell Trump how to do this legally and constitutionally, which then just starts the cycle over again because Trump can't actually pass anything through Congress because he's not popular and is a lame duck president. It's hilarious, sad, and upsetting--especially during the time people are actually enforcing the executive orders or using various federal departments to hurt their own citizens.

Is this what this week in May 1967 is going to be? I'm not a fan. I love we have to clarify who did this. Brutus hasn't even been the main character for a year yet so of course we don't know who anyone is. I mean, this girl just popped up a week ago!

If Veeblefester isn't environmentally friendly by now then he's never going to be. I guess it's good that Arnie is optimistic.

Decaf Riff-Raff 5: The Never-Ending Story

May 17, 1967

One of my favorite things when dating someone is seeing old pictures of them and seeing embarrassing pictures of them. I mean, we're going to be swapping fluids and being inside each other, I should be able to see candid photos of you in the bathroom and weird-ass photos holding onto a 2-liter of Pepsi for dear life.

Jesus Christ. We had a three-part decaf coffee storyline back in September and we don't need another one. This isn't even an original decaf coffee strip. Brutus talked about drinking an inordinate amount of coffee to make up for the lack of caffeine back in 2023.
