Headlines Part 2

Well...I suppose there's no turning back for our hero now...or is there? So what happens now that the cat's out of the bag? You'll just have to wait and find out next week...

This strip once again features the awesome rendering of the "masked menace" by Mr. Frank M. Hansen. It also overtly pays homage to the Peanuts' character Miss Othmar best known as Linus' beloved teacher. Miss Othmar never really spoke and in the animated cartoons was given the infamous horn-like "wha-wahs" that became the trademark voice for all adult characters in the Peanuts cartoons.

Those with a keen eye may also notice Doug and Sophie from Brian Anderson's swell comic strip Dog eat Doug hanging out on CM's coffee mug. Read the comic at dogeatdoug.com and buy the mug at www.cafepress.com/creators.503814235!

You know, that’s a real good way to get your cereal soggy! Hehe. Yeah, I think that would be my reaction too.

Thanks for giving my work an encore. Love how you just left CM in same position and didn’t let him move. Also like the framed Nagel print on the wall in the background.

Do Righty-O’s get soggy if left in milk that long? Another excellent installment.

I just noticed the Nagel print. Too funny. God how I hate Nagel.

I can only imagine his face when he sees some of the awesome deals in the ad section! Nice homage to Miss Othmar… (or, her married name, Mrs. Hagemeyer!… I’m a Peanuts geek.)

  @TOM & FRANK: I was afraid how this strip would “read”
  
  @JIM: Dougy feels the Nagel “classes up the joint.”
  
  @JERRY: Nice!
  
  @DADA: =o( no…
  
  RIGHTY-O’s are not only fortified w/ extra vitamins but also extra preservatives to help keep them crunchy longer! Win-Win!

That’s what happens when you read a stunning headline! You get stunned! Poor CM … it’s hell when you find out that some people don’t like you … especially the ones you are so desperately trying to help.

And thanks very much for the link to Dog eat Doug! I hadn’t read that for ages, though it’s always hilarious!

Ah man that’s just not right. All the cereal not getting eaten, what a shame.
