After a long vacation sojourn, the comment of the week is BACK, everybody, and this is it:

"'Truck? It's Mud.' Yep, that's how I expect Rex Morgan characters to greet each other in person, all right. What, did you think we'd get out of listening to middle-aged phone conversation dialogue just because Truck and Mud are two feet away from each other?" --jroggs

And here are the runners up!

"Doctors have easy access to pharmaceuticals, right? Liberal use is the only way Jeff could be that excited about this conversation." --Hibbleton

"I've tried to imagine what the funniest possible reveal could be here. So far, I think a big glossy photo of Elton John is the front runner. Not present-day Elton, mind you, but 1970s 'Crocodile Rock' Elton." --pugfuggly

"Is there any pronouncement more ominous than Mary's 'Even so, who knows what's happening in this town sight unseen?' I'd be less horrified if she stuck out a forked tongue, spit fire, and declared 'I am Moloch, Destroyer of Worlds.’” --Lawyerbob

"I hope Pop turns out to be a crackpot local inventor who made that watch that Gil is speaking out of. Has he implanted a mind-reading chip into Gil's head? Or is some dark sorcery at work?" --Philip

"I feel like we're spending a lot of time dancing around this being Dagwood's dispensary." --Daniel Schultz, on BlueSky

"You're just a few minutes away from a fiery crash off a cliff when your getaway driver is so crazed and nihilistic that his motto is 'Why live?' (oh, he's probably pronouncing it 'leyeve,' isn't he?)" -- Handsome Harry Backstayge, Idol of a Million Other Women

"'It looks like you've already found her, and trapped her in that tiny piece of paper!' 'That is a photograph, Mister Driver. You've never seen a ... never mind ... I'm beginning to reconsider my plan.’” --Voshkod

"It's nice to see that Mary is finally coming to the realization that she tried to get Estelle and Wilbur to hook up." --Tabby Lavalamp

"I don't know who decided to give a pair of twin children a single Super Soaker™ to share, but whoever they are, they're a master at trolling parents." --Roto13

"Your kids sure know heat transfer and fluid flow science." --Just John

"Usually business people accounts for earnings and losses of a company on a three-month period, and even then many consider that too short-term. Who knows what happened in July that affected sales. Production chain disruption, restocking, Dagwood accidentally ate a contract..." --Ettorre

"I want them to get into a fight, so the headlines will read 'Truck-Mud Flap.’” --grsblvnyk
