Interesting that this strip is running on the same day that GoComics is running the rerun of Lynn Johnston’s “For Better or for Worse” strip in which their good old English Sheepdog “Farley” dies from exhaustion after saving their youngest daughter from drowning.
SPOILER ALERT: These strips are from years ago. Frank Cho doesn’t draw these anymore. But our hero never professes his love for Brandy until the very end when she is reluctantly getting engaged to some other guy despite her love for Frank (which was pretty much there from the start). When he finally does, Brandy cold-cocks him, furious that he didn’t tell her sooner. And then the strip ends and we never discovers how it turns out.
So, you’re arguing from the side of today’s Republican right-wing, where it is normal not to have a brain.
