Pop Goes the Weasel.

Hey, it works for Kia, why not for the vampires at the Bloodmobile?

Who says Chivalry is dead?

Barney rides to the rescue, credit card at the ready!

No, it's Mark.

Mark, Mark Slackmeyer, the erstwhile hippie radical, as he was early in his career.

Today we all know the shorn Mark.

Zonker, is that you?

The November 4, 2010 strip appears to feature a guest cameo by Doonesbury's Zonker Harris. From a previous incarnation. The current Zonker is much more mellow.

The Moustache looks vaguely familiar.

Smart aleckiness. It runs in the family. (Also the title of the sequel to A Christmas Story, adapted from the tales of Jean Shepherd.) I'm talking about hair loss, of course. You would think that the head of a pharmaceutical company would be hairy.

So, Cynthia couldn't persuade Ms. Foxx to pretend to be her big sister?

Shrink, Shrank, Shrunk.

We don't know her name, but we are calling Lucretia's analyst Dr. Priya Shrunk. She also seems related to the Principal of Cynthia's school. Or they have the same optician.

The Producers.

Today we pay tribute to Mel Brooks, creator of The Producers, which in one form or another has become the paradigm for a planned failure gone wrong. Now, it is a panel in Barney & Clyde. But if you read the B&C Facebook page, you had the punchline spoiled. But, hey, there are fewer than 1,2oo friends of B&C, so no harm done!
