Okay, that's excessive. But hey, that's where cartoons shine in the world of entrtainment: In 'toons we can do stuff that would be grotesquely impossible in real life.

Big Boys and Girls Game, page 6.

Fresh off the drawing table for your viewing pleasure!

Meteoric, page 7.

It SHOULD only belong to the gods, but you want it, don't you?

No one lives forever! part 45.

Putting what is arguably Faltown's worst driver at the wheel of the kidnap van might not be the very safest option, but you gotta work with what you got.

No one lives forever! part 44.

Uh-oh.

No one lives forever! part 43.

Savage Squirrel has been active for some years now, and has garnered a bit of a reputation - especially among his colleagues in the violence business.

So for a middle-aged, heavily built fella, that driver shows an impressive turn of speed - without a car, even!

Busy Day, page 5.

Lil' Picca is a big deal at the local media company. But tsk, tsk! Don't you know gambling is immoral?

Big Boys and Girls Card Game, page 5.

If you work for the King, then having had your lips around a Prince's dick can't hurt your career. An ambitious girl has to think of these things.

Meteoric, page 6.

Herman shouldn't be surprised. The Mayor has done business with murderous thugs before, and it may even be argued he is one himself.

....And in a way, he likes the clarity of the lines being drawn. Saves worry and confusion.

No one lives forever! part 42.

No, that's not a real SWAT van. Usually, the getaway car in a kidnap caper is some nondescript junker. But these guys have a pretty much unlimited budget....

No one lives forever! part 41.

Solomon's power is scary, until you need it.

No one lives forever! part 40.

Sandoval has saved Bin Saluman's life twice, and been instrumental in his rise to extreme wealth. But y'know, what has Sandoval done for Bin Saluman LATELY?

Busy Day, page 4.

...Aaaand Jim & Picca for dessert. I used to say "And Teeka for dessert", but she moved up to the primary Sunday slot. Hey hey! Maybe I'll draw new Picca stories when I run out of these old ones. It's a little like an apprentice system - do good in the back-up slot, and maybe one day you move up to the main stage!

Big Boys and Girls Card Game, page 4.

Teeka has a magic bra of holding, remember? And I have to make this post Patrons Only for nipples...NIPPLES!....but you've heard that rant before.

Meteoric, page 5.

Picturing nuclear-bomb destruction is extremely difficult for those who have not previously seen it, or even heard of it.

No one lives forever! part 39.

"It's not the crime, it's the cover-up".  Who said that?

No one lives forever! part 38.

Bin Saluman rightly fears that if "burning all links" is left to the Cabal, they will include him as one of the links to be eliminated.

No one lives forever! part 37.

Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do - whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

   Again, the Mink's mind-control abilities aren't nearly as extensive as the Cabal believes. But it's just as well for her that they do have this misapprehension.

Busy Day, page 3.

Huh. I had a name for the curvy delivery lady. What was it?!

Big Boys and Girls Game, page 3.

Losing your shirt in a card game is not always about money, it seems. It also seems next week's page is gonna be Patrons Only...

Meteoric, page 4.

Herman now IS one of the men in suits who made his old life so hard. This changes things, and he's not shy about telling his fellow pols just how they have changed.

No one lives forever! part 36.

The High Cabal fellas are largely sociopaths and don't really experience shame. So it's hard for them to conceive that Silverstone was so ashamed of what he'd done that he couldn't bear it - and therefore killed himself to get away from his guilt.

    Hence their assumption that the Mink controls minds. Which she can, up to a point, if the mind in question is weak enough, but not nearly as easily and completely as they assume.

   And the thought ...

No one lives forever! part 35.

A cunning plan. Would probably have worked on me.

No one lives forever! part 34.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Busy Day, page 2.

Ah, that will wake you up for the work-a-day. And better for you than coffee!

Big Boys and Girls game, page 2.

Mama Bear is a beekeeper, and a forester on the side. Both considered respectable, traditional occupations for bears in Teeka's world.

Meteoric, page 3.

No, that's not Max Solomon. But I admit to a possibility of them being related.

No one lives forever! part 33.

Enter Happy Jack, to whom Savage raises a good question.

No one lives forever! part 32.

....But Savage is adaptable, as befits a streetfighter.

No one lives forever! part 31.

Stronger than him, sure. But Savage is not used to people faster'n him.
