Metapost: It's that time again. Time .... for your comments of the week

No fuss no muss just COTW!

"At that age, you should only have two possible items on your bucket list: either 'not dying' or 'dying.’” --Ettorre

The runners up? Also very funny.

"I think every Mary Worth strip ought to take time to include Wilbur's POV, as they do here in panel 6." --Handsome Harry Backstayge, Idol of a Million Other Women

"It figures that animalist propaganda would depict the Weirdly family as degenerate hippie communist stock. Anything to discredit the Human Resistance." --TheDiva

"If you look closely, you'll realize that it's not the robot that's plugged into the wall, but the chair it's sitting on. So it's sitting on an electric chair -- not the execution device, but simply an electric version of what appears to otherwise be a typical desk chair. Also, it takes three plugs, kind of like a desktop computer hooked up to the internet would be. None of this helps with actually understanding the comic -- the opposite, in fact -- but it's important to note." --Westing1992

"Just remember kids, it's only a problem unless you win the football game for your school. That makes you good for exactly one week." --Kevin On Earth

"You should see this speech bubble, Guy! The one I'm pointing at!" --made of wince

"Well, I know what I'm most surprised by, and that's the weird, unsettling effect of a mostly-realistic character plopped down next to another, more classically cartoonish one. Mr. Scanarelli has refused to allow his readers to settle into a comfortable visual groove for years, of course, but then the strip has refused to allow Walt a dignified death for decades, so why should we be any different? Dying, I mean. It's the only way out of the Gasoline Alley universe, and not for the characters." --pastordan

"Photographing sharks under water seems much more doable than photographing them above water." --But What Do I Know?

"I want to know what horrible pre-death activity Walt wrote that made Gertie elide over it with a polite, if shocked, 'oh my!' Was it sexual, scatological, or blasphemous?
