MAY IS HERE!!! FANTASY GOODNESS COMES OUR WAY!!!
Patrons voted for dragons, so …
As for this comic…
From humble origins to the lofty lifestyle of the one percent and back. Heckuva roller coaster.
I’m aware that no self-respecting woman would travel that light, even for an overnight stay, but it’s funnier this way. And there’s only so much space for text in a panel.
Did we forget about the inflation?
I dunno. They may be worth lots as a collector’s item. Rolls of Life Savers seem to be very hard to find anymore.
the real question is what flavour of lifesavers they are
Looks like the multi-flavor pack.
She should just be glad they left her with the clothes she’s currently wearing.
There was an alternate path I was considering going down where they forced them both out of their clothes, but I decided to opt for the mud.
It was funnier.
As her husband, Satan would be entitled to half. So a quarter roll of Life Savers, one sock, and they can share custody of the toothbrush and the Howlers uniform, and divide the tawdry underwear between them.
Well, they’re not married yet. So she’s safe.
(Really? They argued like they were married.)
There’s still palimony…
Is that how it works in Ontario?
I dunno . . .I still think this will backfire on them . . . do they really want the bad old Satan back, considering who he’ll be going after?
Is that their plan? I’m not sure.
It really SHOULD backfire, but I suspect Satan would be downplayed for comedic effect.
I give her kudos for having a spare toothbrush, pit stick, and (hopefully) fresh undergarments in her “go bag”. The LifeSavers are there for those low-blood-glucose moments.
Not knowing the total in-universe time they have been co-habituating, they could very well be in “Common-Law” territory. So, yes, Satan would be awarded half of Tracee’s stuff.
Nope. It’s three years in Ontario. And they started living together around when Miranda was born. And she ain’t three yet. Maybe two and a half? Besides, from a cursory glance at Ontario law, the common law thing doesn’t result in property splitting and all that. The property and goods remain in the hands of the one who bought them.
In many common-law jurisdictions, things you own before being marriage that are not commingled with things gained during the marriage can remain outside the marital estate. This could require a very fact-dependent evaluation; for example, if Satan had a car before being married and Tracee never contributed to its upkeep, it would often be considered to be his separate property, not the estate’s. OTOH if he bought a car during the marriage, that would often be considered part of the marital estate unless he could clearly show the money from it only form separate funds, which would require a degree of premeditation and planning that doesn’t seem his speed in the comic.
I don’t know about the underwear, but Tracee seems to have expected the LifeSavers to have been intact and unopened, therefore never shared and so still exclusively hers….or so her attorney would argue.
These guys are holding out. There should be a “surprisingly competent” ensemble of brown hoodie, powder blue sweat pants, and sneakers that rightfully belong to Tracee.
I forsee Satan going to his daughter for a roof over his and Tracee’s heads…
You have excellent foresight.
That seems very fair. Is Sigmund betraying his principles? Maybe not. He could send an eeeeeeevil check.
All checks are allied with Satan. It’s a money thing.
And when he calls . . .
Remember: “I believe I had a hat”
Whether you did or not. If it works, free hat.
That’s smart.
Really like the dragon puck pic. Good background detail.
A plot where Satan comes back and out evils Sigmund sounds fun. Make Sigmund grovel a bit. Lol
He probably would, but then he might be happy to see Old Nick getting seriously evil again.
We knock ‘em down to build ‘em back up.
Tracee did get a free gym bag out of the deal, so a nett gain.
“That gym bag contains you arrived with.”
Woops, page didn’t like GT or LT signs.
Missing “everything”.
Looking at the list. Tracee showed up sans footwear?
mmkay.
She might get a bill for it.
Nice try, Tracy, and I respect your tenacity… but you really should’ve bought some valuable stuff and smuggled it to secret storage, or embezzled some funds onto a bank account in Switzerland or the Cayman Islands when you had the chance.
Because now? Now it looks like you’re taking a step back towards “Trailer Park Tracy”…
Well, we will see. Not all has been revealed yet.
Gecko: you mention ‘no self-respecting woman’ would travel so light, but isn’t Tracy heavily into reinventing herself and burning all bridges behind her so no-one can follow after? A woman so obsessed with moving up and away might travel light so she’d have an excuse to buy nice new things wherever she arrives.
That was EXACTLY what I was thinking, honestly.
What happened to the parental “competence” clothing? Surely the brown hoodie, sweat pants, and sneakers were things she brought to the dance…
Maybe those were new purchases. Seems unlikely, but hey.
Candy is way too expensive these days. 🙁
Tragic. I’ll have to start buying the off-brand candy bars. And no one likes the off-brand candy bars.
