I’m somehow more creeped out by the Greatest American Hero hairstyling.

Once you can wrap your head around Handshuhe, Fingerhut becomes obvious. “Ah, so this is how this is going to go.”

If this is the guy I’m thinking of, he’s doing both.

Extreme workouts, diets, medical interventions (blood transfusions, etc.), general body weirdness that would be classed as some variety of anorexia nervosa if he were younger and poorer, and a regimen of pills. He’s selling the pills.

Oh, and ladies? He’s looking to to reenter the dating market. I guess that’s neither here nor there, but for some reason he’s available!!!

It seems like everyone is talking about these cascading failures.

Exactly. The warming arctic means that countries bordering that part of the world are becoming much more available and much more valuable. So… Russia, Canada, Norway, Denmark (via Greenland), and the US (via Alaska) now have lands that need to be exploited or defended. Apparently the US has decided that Alaska isn’t enough.

Angry Susan.

I simultaneously do and do not want to see the trolly problem diagram in that courtroom.

That takes me back to a club I was in during the '80s. The instructor had a space heater that looked a lot like this. Basically a horizontal tube with an open flame that she used to heat her garage. She did an safety demonstration by dropping a paper towel into the flame, so we 6-year-olds would know what happens when you go near the heater. You burn, children. You burn. Effective.

Right? I think that gave him a reverse Uno card of some kind. Hmmm. That did seem to smooth over some things.

This is where it gets messy for me.

I’m in favor of letting the COVID release prisoners go. It seems unnaturally cruel to send non-violent offenders back to prison for the rest of their sentence if they haven’t reoffended.

I would not have released this guy in the first place. “Non-violent” my ass.

True - and I think that drove a lot of his early popularity. His entire head is unfortunate and his name seems like a cruel joke. He embraced nerd things that are relative to my interests. Basic empathy and compassion kick in when you see something like that. From a first impression, he just seemed to have been dealt poor hand in life.

Then he started talking. Damn.

Oh? Sounds like someone wants my precious bodily fluids. You. Cant. Have them!

I honestly can’t let this older one go. But no one seems to be talking about it lately.

Right. In that episode, Pakleds were snaring the Samaritans. Basically grifting their way through the universe by taking advantage of good Samaritans. OP is still not quite nailing it.

I think they just have to do that weird thing where they put a fist next to their shoulder and frown.

ETA: Is that a frown, or is that just Blue Steel?

Ouch. “This place is a shit show,” the judge said. (Not really, just fixed it for him).

I suspect that dead saves more money. Biopsies are expensive and United Health does not like to pay for them.

Ah yes. The Oliver/Poochie character.

ETA: Or Scrappie Fucking Doo

Season six.

COSMO???

1. Throwaway comment that mentions a potato chip tin that’s not directly relevant to the comic
2. Top image results link to etsy and I’m not bothering to check the rules about that
3. It’s not hard to find
4. Never expected anyone to lose their shit about it

Excellent work, though
