Heck of a story, Blondie

Cidu Bill on Jul 8th 2011

“I was eating a tortilla chip and some salsa dripped onto my clothing.”

Seriously… there could be an interesting story behind DNA stains on a navy dress — but salsa on a blazer? What am I missing here?

Cidu Bill on May 12th 2009

What I never understood was… Do comic strip writers work in such a vacuum that they don’t know when a topical joke has already been used a dozen times over?
