   That can indicate any number of things.

   “Where’s April?”

   “I dunno . . . "

   Time to pick out a burial spot for Edgar, then. Some people never learn.

   A lot of principals have no answer for that these days.

   It must be sad to have so little interest in a story that you can’t even imagine why anyone would bother trying to engage with it beyond the most superficial level.

   We don’t see John or Elly yell when they get her out of the river, unless you count the one bolded word in the sentence “If it wasn’t [sic] for Farley, you wouldn’t be here!” And there’s nothing in that panel to indicate anger, it’s clear that John’s emphasizing an important point.

   All right but I can’t help thinking my idea would have been funnier.

   And Deanna has no confidence at all in Edgar? Sure Farley didn’t get much time to train him, but what time they did have must have made an impression.

   It was a slow day at work.

   Where was Rat holding the bottle in the first two panels? In the third and fourth panels you can clearly see that it’s not much smaller than his torso. But in the first two panels, we’re looking at a kind of three-quarter-profile view and there’s no indication that he’s got it behind his back or on his right side. Holding it in such a way that we wouldn’t be able to see it at all from that angle would not be easy, and it should be even harder as we see his left arm hanging freely at his side. That means he’s holding the bottle in his right hand alone, though we can see in the final two panels that he really needs both hands to hold it securely. It also means he probably isn’t holding it at shoulder height, with his right arm extended straight out. This would be the simplest way to make the bottle invisible from our angle, but would require him to use his left arm as a counterweight to maintain his balance.

   And those are just the problems with imagining how Rat could hide the bottle from us. If you want to assume that Goat can’t see it either, which would be a reasonable conclusion based on his word bubble in the second panel, it would be nearly impossible for him to hold the bottle.

   Wait, what? No they didn’t! Every SPD deputy who wasn’t already in prison voted against the Enabling Act. Every other deputy who wasn’t already in prison (or otherwise indisposed) voted for it.

   I make it a point to ignore you and will resume doing so directly, but disinformation that directly contradicts easily verified facts needs to be exposed wherever it may be found.

    Oh, not this again!
