Not a timeless classic, but I found this a lot more entertaining than I’d expected.

Terrorists

Presumably means “blackmailers” or something, because going on a hunger strike doesn’t make you a terrorist. Imprisoned terrorists have been known to go on hunger strikes, but they’re already done something terroristic to get there in the first place.

Trophy Wife’s “same difference” makes no sense to me either way. Unless she equates daughters with terrorists, which is kind of dysfunctional.

It takes far less time to keep a beard trimmed than it does to shave every day

Just saying.

Because people always look for something to complain about??

Kinda think there should be some sort of tweet gag here…

Maybe my mind’s going…

… but wasn’t Bets black on their first date?

Maybe this is the Comic Strip Universe trying to achieve balance after what happened to Val Stone’s boyfriend.

Something I’ve been wondering about Mutt and Jeff…

Were jokes like this new when they appeared in the strip, or were they already old chestnuts?

CIMDB

Where’s the joke here? What Hector’s saying makes perfect sense, and I’ve said the same thing on many occasions.
