    I kinda wish I didn’t get this one, but maybe it’s that Superdog’s humping strength is greater than the average dog’s. He’ll break your leg, then break your heart.

    [Insert “faster than a speeding bullet” joke here]

    I think that the one-panel format wasn’t good for this joke. If you assume that the leg was broken and put into a cast some time in the past, it makes sense.

    Many dogs get frisky with people’s legs. Most dogs aren’t super-strong and won’t break said legs.

    I expect that the choice of Green Lantern was a random choice of DC superheroes who have breakable bones.

    I think his humping is what put the leg into the cast,,,his super strength broke GL’s leg

    Yep. Some time in the past, Krypto got busy with GL’s leg. Now here comes GL again, still in a cast from last time, and Krypto is starting to look frisky. Superman notices, and cautions Krypto to prevent a repeat occurrence.

    This might also be for the ewww files; Green Lantern is powerless against yellow and if Krypto thought his leg was a fire hydrant …

    One would think that GL could use his ring to stop Krypto (from either torment); however, if he’s a yellow lab….

    I figured Krypto was the reason for the cast, but is there ANY reason why this comic has to be set in some kind of space station slash moon base?

    ianrey: The Justice League used to meet in a building that looked like a train station, but now-a-days hey meet in a satellite, reached via teleporter like on Star Trek. That way, they can beam to any spot where trouble occurs (though trouble usually seems to show up at generic large American city or American military installation). Of course, since they have a teleporter, why they have to swoop down at all, causing untold billions in property damage, instead of just beaming the offending parties up and into a jail cell, or to the Island of Naughty Men, or into the Sun if they have to, is completely beyond me.

    Today’s B.C. is sort of wrong. Is he saying that today is “opposite day,” so the woman beats a man over the head with a club? Implying that on all the other days, it’s the man that beats the woman with a club? Bold, man. Bold.

    Also, the currently storyline in today’s Jump Start is getting old. Every day it goes like this:

    Police 1: My dog is really fat. I use various methods to get him to lose weight, but for some reason they don’t work!
    Police 2: Are you sure?
    Police 1: I knew I should have let him [insert personified action here/action that only a human would do].

    I mean, it was interesting once, but the last week has had the exact same joke over and over. Ok, your dog plays video games, watches TV, and eats gourmet steak. What’s next? Maybe tomorrow the dog will have lost some weight voting for his favorite contestant on American Idol.

    Also, FOOB sucks. If a guy had used the Transformers analogy to describe our relationship I probably would have laughed. It’s sort of creative. But again, the lesson in today’s strip is, “Men are stupid for liking manly things like transformers and football, and it is up to the woman to show him the light and use more romantic analogies. What a beautiful relationship.” This kind of nit-picky behavior on the part of the chick (don’t know her name) is the kind of thing that leads to divorce and/or suicide.

    As for Mary Worth… I had to sit through AN ENTIRE MONTH of Mary riding her bicycle. A month. An entire month! Not to mention another month of Drew having a conversation in a coffee shop. And yet it only takes Drew one day to apply for a passport, be accepted, quit his job at the hospital, apply to go to Peace Village, get a visa, buy a plane ticket, and board it? What the heck is going on here?

    Ok, I feel stupid. I had the wrong window open, and the above post was meant for another site. GO ME! I rock!

    Hey, at least the “hitting with the club” thing is an acknowledgment that these are, you know, CAVEMEN. How often does THAT happen?

    Howabominable: I assumed Candace was annoyed because he referred to them as “little monster-things”. They’re ROBOTS, putz.
    Nope, I’m not nerdy at all, thank you.

    I’m stuck on a crochet pattern - the pattern calls for a High Ridge Front stitch and I can’t understand the instructions and unfortunately its a photocopy so the picture isn’t too clear either. I’ve searched the net to no avail.
    Is anyone familiar with this stitch?
    I’d appreciate the help and can quit tearing out my hair.

    Oh - sorry - I meant for that comment to go on the Knitting/Crochet blog. (Boy are THEY gonna be confused by my remarks about leg-humping by Kryto the superdog)

    Howabominable: HA! I know a Curmudgeon when I see one!

    John Stewart (the Green Lantern pictured)’s ring is NOT powerless against yellow - he should have Power Ringed up a giant rolled-up newspaper and given Krypto what for.
