Crock is going all "CSI: Sign Handles" over here
Crock, 5/2/23
Clearly a lot of Crock strips will have you saying "What on earth is going on here," but today's Crock really has me saying, "No, really, what on earth is going on here?" I guess we're meant to understand that the French Foreign Legion's militarized colonial regime makes a mockery of the rights to free speech as laid out in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, but it's very funny that the way this is conveyed is by having Crock declare that "signs are illegal!" And honestly, this angle just seems like it's adding unnecessary confusion to a joke about how Grossie is protesting (?) something in a hypocritical way, but the engine for that middle panel's gotta come from somewhere, I guess.

Wait, did we know that Dr. Ed was widowed? I don't think we did, and I am enjoying Estelle carefully composing a neutral position for her facial features as she processes this information and begins to grasp that Ed's issues might go a bit beyond "burned out at work." Just another successful Mary Worth romantic yoga session!
