Here’s one sent by two readers, Boise Ed and James Riendeau:

Ed limns the puzzlement for us: “Grimm appears to be writing on a notepad. Goose is on a landline call. Is ‘sneaking notes’ some kind of cell-phone thing? I’m totally lost here, and none of the [GoComics site] commenters got it, either.”

OY by virtue of ambiguous parsing of [[comic strip] bar] versus [comic [strip bar]]. But y’know, as Will Rogers is never quite quoted as saying, I never meta man I didn’t like. And also a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, else what’s a metaphor?
Who’s ready for a bit more Fusco?

P.S. A couple days later, this character and that prop re-appear; but decidedly not funny :-( .

BTW, Gocomics gives this feature filenames that look like loesp230927.jpg, clueing us that at some point they were considering it to be Life On Earth in Spanish. (The same artist does the Life on Earth comic.)

Again on the meta train.
