Metapost: It's Friday, I'm in love (with the comments of the week)

There's nothing I enjoy more than reading your funny comments and selecting my favs! Speaking of which, here's this week's top contender:

"Those are some odd choices for fantasy heroes. Prince is an inborn trait. Pirate is a type of criminal. Cowboy is a job, same as tech support, so he should be on the Actual Hero side if you like beef and dairy products." --Anonymous

And here are the very funny runners up!

"Love me, love my thousand dying dogs." --Gerry Quinn

"Thrill to the slightly stiff finger drama! Gaze in awe as 'just wearing a splint' probably fixes it! Gasp in terror as the slim prospect of surgery still remains! Wonder briefly about the patient's romantic life!" --Chance

"Narration box clearly doesn't think trigger finger is a real condition." --Dan

"No, Truck, it was as recently as Friday when June Morgan distinctly told you that if the splint and medications don't fix it, then next they'll try cortisone injections, and only if that fails too then they'll resort to surgery. Is this story arc so boring that even you don't bother to read it any more? (Yes.)" --seismic-2

"I stick by a theory I recently posited that Camp Swampy is a big psychological experiment by the Army to test the boundaries of soldiers under duress from poor leadership. Can a cook order a private to guard the food specifically against his immediate commanding officer? The results will be studied in a dark room of the Pentagon, and the findings will inform future tests." --Philip

"Is this a feline retelling of the nativity story?" --johnny lt

"I too like to verbalize my frustrations over a breakup by sitting my pets down at the dinner table, cry-eating ice cream in front of them, and expositing to them precisely what's going on. Although I don't know about putting my elbows on the table. I've still got some dignity." --Amelie Wikström

"So, after every meal I take these Herbalife supplements. Let me show you our exciting new product line!" --Peanut Gallery

"If you gave a printer a handjob to completion, would it ejaculate ink or paper? Today's Beetle Bailey answers that question at least." --Schroduck

"I'm not sure why, but I find those extra m's on 'yum' really off-putting. It's a sandwich, man, get a grip." --pugfuggly

"Sometimes you have to appreciate how some comics are just a job that you have to churn out by a deadline when the artist has blank pages being spit out by the, sure, we'll accept that's a printer. A few lines on the papers to indicate something is actually being printed? That's precious golf time!" --Tabby Lavalamp

"Dagwood read the Book of Exodus and decided that putting pepperoni above his front door was a way to tell the angel of death 'Please take my first born, but leave my pizza alone!’” --Ettorre

"Blondie shamelessly caters to its readers' fantasies: having kids who are impressed by their parents' bullshit." --matt w

"Truck Tyler Featuring Mud Mountain on Guitar With Special Opening Act Shorty and Beanpole. There will be no refunds." --Liam

"I was stressed about wedding planning ... now I'm stressed that you brought over a dozen muffins just for the two of us." --Hibbleton

"George and Martha Wilson are a 99-year-old male and 95-year-old female being admitted to hospice services jointly with a terminal diagnosis of E.905.1 Lack of Style. They currently reside at 2253 Pine Street, next to Alice and Henry Mitchell and the Mitchell's five-year-old son Dennis, who serves as the Wilson's Power of Attorney." --I'm Not Cthulhu, But I Play Him On TV

"'Ed ghosted me, Mary. I guess he just doesn't have the rizz. Skibidi ... Sigma?' 'Oh, Stella. I vibe you, gurl.' Somewhere, you hear the souls of millions of Gen Z cry out in agony and then are silenced. Their youth is behind them. Their future is newspaper comics." --OId Man Shadow
