How sad is it that after that comment I just had to hunt down the Zippy strip that ran the day this strip was first published just to complete the mental picture? (It was this one, for the record, though if we go with the one that ran the first day Joyce had the paper it’d be this’un which I like better for Joyce puzzling over it.)
What’s so hard to understand about Ziggy? He’s the RPM Green Ranger who used to work for the mob until he found a shipment he was carrying was full of Medical equipment and delivered then to sick orphans.
And then he left Corinith to hide out in a Post-Apocalyptic landscape so he didn’t get killed by mobsters and then hitched a ride back to the dome city a couple years later with a stoic Cyborg and bumbled his way into accidently becoming a Power Ranger.
I want to say that this is the start of a long tradition of people thinking that Joyce is a lesbian, but I’ve got half a suspicion that Joe suggested it at some point during Roomies! and I’ve forgotten it.
“or are you one of those less bean things?”
Walky is strictly a “more beans” sort.
I mean … that’s a good start, Walky.
I remember the pacing in this one made me laugh like crazy the first time around … still very very funny to me. 😀
Maybe she’s still trying to understand Ziggy?
She’s been re-reading the same Zippy the Pinhead strip for hours now. She’s going to figure this out, dammit.

I dunno, I feel like the first one is better for sheer incomprehensibility.
oh dear lord that website

…That’s the Ziggy we’re talking about right?
I though Ziggy helped this Sam Beckett dude travel through time
No, no, Ziggy played guitar. And he really sang: screwed-up eyes and screwed-down hairdo, like some cat from Japan.
Obsolete? But I love me the saturday paper.
Maybe the newspaper means these shenanigans are just occurring that quickly.
Love ya Walky, you keep trying till you get it right.
Well, not really any right way maybe..just keep trying.

Newspapers are still a good source of political cartoonists that don’t understand how net neutrality works
I would say “prolific”. There’s nothing “good” about them 😉
Not the worst first thing to ask since one can never know and it would be wrong to assume.
Y’know aside from being a kinda invasive question it’s not a terrible one to ask. And it’s less transparent than “do you like someone here” for sure
I guess it’s a goof start.
“Well, I generally tend to approve of them in theory, but…”
Man, two strips in a row that immediately made me think of Dorothy despite her not having been created yet. Do I hear three?
