Weekend wisecracks
Gil Thorp, 9/7/24
Best. Gil Thorp. Ever.
Flash Gordon, 9/7/24
Ergon, leader of the Power Men who maintain the capital's tunnels, negotiates concessions from Empress Aura and King Barin. Mongo's monarchy may be in decline, but its public-service unions are top-notch. You think Ming the Merciless would've put up with this crap?
Judge Parker, 9/6/24
A Spencer daughter, ignoring the advice of her sassy Black girlfriend, intrudes into the dysfunctional and possibly criminal drama surrounding a potential romantic partner's family. And they're gonna keep telling this story until they either get it right or fall comes to Cavelton, whichever comes first.
Sherman's Lagoon, 9/7/24

Rex Morgan, M.D., 9/7/24
Alas, poor Truck. His pickin' finger "locked up" and hurt him last Tuesday, and now he's consumed by fear: focal dystonia? Multiple sclerosis? Knuckle cancer? His mind reels. But Truck lives in a medical desert, long miles from any competent professional who might take the slightest interest in his anxiety and pain. Nothing to do but sit, really. Sit, Truck. Just sit.
