Scottie McW, this is as good as Nance's BFH! Homeroom. You have learned well in the ways of snarking, young grasshopper.
When I saw Lobster man in the alley, I immediately thought it was Nosferatu, it being near halloween and all.
I am baffled why Tommy deserted his car and is walking into the seedy part of Santa Royale. Sorry, I keep forgetting that Tommy is two pieces of bread short of a sandwich.
This must be the seedy neighborhood where Mary was looking for her homeless friend. (Too lazy to look for her name.)
Pretty hard to follow Scottie after that fabulous piece of parody! I'll just wait here quietly to see if JB can come up with a third rendering of Lobster Man where he says, "let me show you the great Bibles I have for sale under my coat!"
Fabulous comments yesterday and today, everyone! Scottie McW., KM is inspiring you to unimaginable heights. I am tipping my virtual hat!
I agree, Lobster Man is a lock for a Panel of the Year nomination. I think June is channeling Mr. Giella, which is great. BTW, anyone else notice the little touches on the wall behind Tommy? I see a question mark and an eye with a heavy eyebrow. Didn’t Mr. G. do things like this occasionally?
Wanders, wouldn’t “C’mere” translate to “I have always and will always love you Ma?” I could be wrong - I never studied French. Somewhere in Paris, the persnickety Hugo is putting his nose in the air and gagging.
Some questions for the day: 1. Why is Brandy waiting for Tommy to better himself? Why doesn't she go out and get a better job herself or go to Santa Royale Community College, even part-time? It can't be that rigorous if Dawn is a student and Ian teaches there. 2. We're leading up to Brandy catching Tommy doing or not doing drugs. Why can't she get a roommate to live in a better part of town than Santa Royale's Skid Drive? Or is this just adjacent to where Brandy lives and has yet to be gentrified? 3. Why is Brandy going out with Tommy anyway? Did she have a lobotomy or something?

With a big Snark Tank thumb o’ the nose to Herbert Legal, Esq. . . .
There’s a mope lives in Charterstone /
And his brain hasn’t fully grown /
And what’s more, he’s addiction-prone /
Tommy is his name.
He works at a grocery store /
Stackin’ cans and sweepin’ floors /
There’s a babe there who he adores /
Brandy is her name.
And Brandy says, “Tommy, you’re a fine man /
What a good friend you would be /
But we are not getting married /
It’s not you, see, it’s just me.
When Brandy shoots him down /
Tommy glumly wanders ‘round /
Back to the seedy part of town /
Where he meets Lobster Man.
And Lobby says, “Tommy, /
Here’s some fine pills /
Think how good they’ll make you feel.
If you scrape up fifty dollars, it’s deal.”

Scottie, you're going to get me sued! And it will be worth every penny. Bring it on, Herbert Legal, Esq.

Scottie, you are brilliant!
Regina, Tommy is not only missing the bread, there’s no filling, either!
Remember when you found Jesus in prison, Tommy? That's him now in the alley!

Thank you very much, all. I appreciate it.
It was good to get that out of my system. Maybe the nightmares will stop now.

Nicely done, Scottie McW!
As soon as I saw today's strip, I was going to tell Wanders that Mrs. W had better get out her reading glasses again.

Tommy, I don't think we're in Santa Royale anymore.
Where is his car?
Bravo, Scottie! I missed yesterday completely, and checked in this morning to find this. Kudos, and I applaud as you turn your tassel.
