The central task of parenting is to ensure the transmission of values from previous generations to subsequent ones.
Here, also, we introduce a new character: CATHY, staid coffee shop coworker of young MONA SPECTOR, BAD MOTHER. These strips are going up kind of out of order of my drawing them — this is the second Bad Mother strip ever drawn, back in like 2011 — and in it, I draw Cathy’s face no less than FOUR DISTINCT WAYS. Which will I settle on?? Watch and find out here this coming TUESDAY, when Cathy will face a BRUTAL ATTACK.
Friends! Are you in San Antonio, TX, or anywhere within a two hundred mile radius of it? COME HANG OUT WITH ME AND OTHER PALS at the book launch of J.R. Helton’s Drugs, at the Twig Book Shop in San Antonio at 5 p.m. TODAY, SATURDAY MAY 19. The book formally launches on May 22, so now’s your chance to get it, unless you’re one of these scumbag e-reader types, in which case sure, go ahead and order it from Amazon. That’s cool. Why don’t you go spit on a bookstore worker while you’re at it, on your way from going to the local library and blacking out random words in the new arrivals with a Sharpie?
I’m joking, of course! Because I also have a book coming out soon, and I’m intimidated into silence by Amazon just like everyone else is.
HAPPY SATURDAY
This comic has too many women characters! And they’re all talking to each other wtf
That is an INTERESTING VIEWPOINT! Do any other readers want to chime in on what JERKSES VERDAMMT has written here?
Oh no! It’s a story that passes the Bechdel Test! Someone alert the authorities!
Jerkses, Count Jerkula and Jerkules, important symbols from Jerxist Mythology.
I think this could be an important Outsider Manifesto of sorts.
What, Bros before Hos? I agree — it is up there with IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE LAW, YOU MUST BE HONEST, from Mr. Robert Zimmerman.
