Well, just in time for tourist season, here comes this one. Despite the threat of murder here, I think of this strip as almost uncomfortably tame. To my eye it reads like a syndicated daily, not an alternative weekly like I’m trying to be. My own harshest critic, am I.


The “Chalk Outline” comment pushes it just out of syndicated daily territory.
The worst thing about tourist season where I live in the Sierras is the massive number of mountain-bikers.
Sure, it’s easy to bag your limit, but they’re usually so damn stringy. Oh well, they make a good sausage.
