This week features the two cops that stopped Smokescreen and Stonewall two weeks ago. I wanted to do a tribute to the short cop bits from the Kids In The Hall sketch show from Canada, of which I’m a big[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
And here is the fiftieth strip, with a reference to an obscure comedy troupe called Duck’s Breath Mystery Theater. They had a character called “Dr. Science” in a bit called “Ask Dr. Science!”. The announcer would say “He’s not a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
