Let's make Skeleton Wednesday a thing, folks

Slylock Fox, 10/5/22

I'm very tickled by the fact that a mystery comic strip for kids (it's right there in the title! Slylock Fox and Comics for Kids! surely many kids are reading the daily paper for its furry-based mystery content, right?) would have a question that includes the word "monogamous" in it. I feel like this is going to lead to a certain amount of vocabulary questioning that in most cases will go fine but might give rise to a few children awkwardly learning that their parents are swingers. Anyway, you know who isn't monogamous? This octopus! Look at her gathering up all these engagement rings, as she plans to propose to each and every member of her polycule.
