We know not what may be, and what we may be is smooshed flat

Blondie, 7/27/25

The Blondie creative team has never met a young person that it didn't want to call a lazy sack of shit, but ... I kept waiting for this strip's punchline to be "Napping and playing video games at work? This nepo baby is just like me for real!" but somehow it never happens. I guess the whole thing could be a subtle joke, but nothing about Blondie in general or today's installment in particular, which includes the normal English phrase "urban expression," has ever made it seem like the strip is capable of subtlety.
