Herb and Jamaal, 5/27/25

Of the 99 most recent Herb and Jamaal strips I've commented on, all but one have four panels, so I guess the strip is pretty married to that format, but I feel like this one should've been another exception. It's already a pretty nothing joke, and the punchline being stretched out over two panels makes you think the second half of it is going to be much more interesting than it turns out to be, and reading it made me genuinely mad. No, Jamaal, that's not true! This scenario you're describing is admittedly annoying, but discovering secret government codes is in fact a significantly more difficult process!
