Okay, I guess they like cheese
What makes this a comic strip rather than, say, an ad for cheese?
A couple of things
- Because the new set-up makes certain functions more difficult — or at least it will until I figure out some shortcuts — I’m going to be slower than usual dealing with comics you send me. And there will be triage:
CIDUs, I’ll get to immediately. On the end of the scale, we should probably put a moratorium on Synchronicity submissions. Unless they’re really, really good. In fact, it would be a good idea to include “really, really good” to the subject line. I’m not kidding. - A reminder that if you’re about to post a comment that says nothing but “I hate this comic strip”…
Please don’t. It’s right there in the FAQ, after all.

Flesh
Crayola hasn’t made flesh crayons since well before LuAnn’s current writer was born, let alone during the lifetime of Bwad, let alone the Bwat.
It was renamed “peach” in 1962.
It’s rare to see a geezer reference that the writer is way too young for.
And of course this makes the comic absolutely pointless.
Racked With Laughter
Anybody want to take a shot at a caption while I’m trying to find it?
I know what “whistling past the graveyard” means, just not what it means here

(Presumably there’s a way to put only a part of a line in color — which is standard and simple in every computer text editor I’ve used since the 1970s — but I’ve yet to find it; WordPress is making this intentionally infuriating. If they want to drive me away, why don’t they just take the direct approach and nuke the whole site?)
Priorities
One of the many oddities of the new format: by default, all the categories and tags from the last post uploaded appear in the next post. So there will errors.
For once, they won’t be mine.
[OT] Candy Corn
I am currently trying to convince somebody that it was created in the 1950s, originally intended to be stocked in fallout shelters where it would provide enough calories to allow people to exist for the twenty-odd years until it was safe to come out.
