Oh, Corpse of Johnny Hart, as baffling and then horrifying as this comic is, I'm afraid it's got nothing on Momma. Indeed, on the Mommameter, in which an adorable malapropism about carrots is a 1 and honest-to-goodness suicide in the service of a bad joke is a 10, this couldn't rank any higher than a 6. They are just snakes, after all.
Really, BC, a mother-in-law joke? The syndicate saved you from the grave for this shit? Can't you put just a little bit of effort into--
Oh, wow, I've completely misjudged you, BC. Congratulations on switching up the formula of the trope. I'm really interested to see where this joke leads.
If I can praise Garfield for its bold* stance against global warming, I can praise BC for its bold stance against, well, mostly humor but also possibly global warming, I think? *For the comics section.
This BC is very clever indeed, what with the way it connects hunting to picking up women, thus suggesting that

As anyone who's even remotely aware of prehistoric ant technology knows, digital ant television antennae were required to receive digital channels.
The use of puppy dog eyes is a bizarrely common device in the comics section, made even more bizarre by cartoonists' complete inability to draw them in a non-creepy way.
This is a blog about comic strips that combines a healthy dose of Internet snark with hopefully cogent and in-depth analysis. We'll see how that last part goes.
