Friday is for ladies who deserve better
Crock, 10/25/24
Of all the characters in the comics, few are subject to as much indignity as Crock's Grossie. I mean, forgetting the fact that she's named "Grosse" and married to a guy named "Maggot," we must also keep in mind that she's a colonial subject, and while she's usually depicted as fairly fiesty and independent, she is also, like her nation, under the heel of the French and must obey their whims. Not sure what's worse for her here: that she had to participate in the operation of this sham restaurant that's been set up as part of an elaborate bit about what a bad cook she is, or that she's probably going to be killed by her own countrymen when they storm the fort, just because she's in the way.
Rex Morgan, M.D., 10/25/24
Hey, remember when Wanda first showed up in this strip, as a waitress who was flirting with Mud Mountain Murphy, but then Mud turned out to be kind of an asshole who pretended to shit his pants on stage, so she hooked up with Truck instead, because he was her only other option? Well, now that Mud's been brainwashed by a con artist, who accidentally made him a better person in the process, Wanda seems eager to get Mud back into her and Truck's lives. What I'm saying is, I look forward to discovering if Rex Morgan, M.D., can make polyamory boring.
