Drama!
Hovertext:
What if I don't WANT to still be me when I get to the surface?
Parents, if you don't want to risk bruised feelings on their birthdays, I suggest you NOT name any of your children "Cubby":
Or "Angus":
("Why, I declare, I didn't know it was the Colonel's birthday!")
Or "Ritchie":
And don't even *think* about "Bobby":
(Got milk?)
Or, heaven forbid, "Trudi":
And while you're at it, you'd better avoid pet names like "honey bunny," too:
In fact, maybe you should just leave names off your cakes all together. That way, nothing can go wrong.
I rest my case.
Thanks to wreckporters Laura R., Lacey C., Trisha A., Brian C., Kirsten H., Kelly N., & Erica for the name-calling.

P.S. Next time skip the name and just order their face on a pair of socks instead. You heard me. Like so:
Custom Printed Face Socks
Or get their pet's face, because all the cat and dog versions in the customer photos are ADORABLE.

And from my other blog, Epbot:
Mary Worth, 6/2/25
Did you know that the psychological “fight or flight” response is more accurately called “fight, flight, freeze, or fawn”? I think it comes as no surprise to those of us who (sadly) know them all too well that the Westons, having belatedly realized that they are in the presence of an apex predator, have gone the “freeze” route, hoping that if they sit very still and offer the most weaksauce and unrealistic excuses for not eating mushrooms imaginable, she’ll lose interest and wander off. The really sad thing is that the extremely on the nose Fatal Attraction reference is lost on Wilbur and Dawn, since they’re both philistines whose media diets consist of watching old Evander Holyfield fights on YouTube and “clean eating” influencer content on TikTok that comes right up to the edge of promoting anorexia without violating the terms of service, respectively.
Intelligent Life, 6/2/25
Speaking of philistines with terrible media diets, this strip would’ve been a good opportunity to name some of the movies, comics, conventions, or cartoons that are coming out in 2025, but instead Intelligent Life decided to simply … not? I guess what’s giving Mike life is not the movies or comics themselves, but just the reassurance that this particular form of cultural and economic production will continue at least through the end of the year.
Andy Capp, 6/2/25
Was it Cappverse canon before this point that Andy has a big juicy booty? If not, it is now, and I for one am not complaining.
That's no ottoman, that's my slime girl friend
