Is there any real-world context for this, or is McEldowney just throwing random words on paper? This doesn’t even follow logically from the latest storyline, which clearly only existed so he could draw a few weeks of Edda cheesecake.(though to be fair, at least this time he went through the motions of accompanying the cheesecake with a storyline)
And speaking of clothing…
Is this how tight jeans generally work? I mean, I’m assuming from the way this is drawn that the jeans were already on her and they’ve suddenly bwooped off of her. One one hand it would make more sense if she simply couldn’t get them on in the first place — though on the other hand it wouldn’t make sense that she’d be getting dressed in the middle of the street.

Normally I don’t even consider 9 Chickweed Lane for the Arlo Award anymore, because apparently the syndicate editors have accepted the fact that the strip is now soft-core porn — but this one was worth of an exception (and both Brian and Hans Peter agreed):

A number of people sent me various of this week’s 9 Chickweed Lane comics, recommending them for the Arlo Award (for sneaking something past the syndicate censors). For the record, we’ve been informed that Francis has lost his bathing suit and is completely al fresco.
I think going forward we should disqualify 9 Chickweed Lane from this award since as of a few years ago it officially crossed over to soft core porn and for some reason the syndicate censors are okay with this.

Not only did Wednesday’s 9CW not cast any light on Tuesday’s (see “Pennies,” below), but it was a CIDU as well — and I was further confused when Timothy Carignan sent it to me with the heading “A New Standard For Arlo.”

This is either a CIDU or the Mother of All Arlos. Or, most likely, both. Continue Reading »

… he’s going to be surprised to discover that Edna has somehow transformed into a garden gnome.
If this is Peter’s son (which would strain credibility even more than Edna’s transformation into a garden gnome, since he should be several years younger than Juliette), the fact that he recognizes Edna’s granddaughter from a photo his father kept is creepy on so many levels.
I guess it is possible that Peter had a son floating around from before he met up with Edna in 1954 or so, but then the creepy aspect still applies.

Questions people have asked me, anyway…
“What is Juliette, a freakin’ idiot???”
Okay, that one was sort of rhetorical. But then there’s this one:
“Have we ever seen or heard about this half-sibling of Juliette’s?”

Maybe I’m missing something, but isn’t “old enough to be Juliet’s daughter” the same thing as “old enough to be Edda’s twin”?

Does anybody know enough German to translate this?
