Lulu is worried. How can she keep Jules quiet?

Yes I would be.

Good attention I hope.

Oooh! Dani and Lulu bobsled! Jules and Vern downhill skiing!

Our unknown investigator makes an observation in today’s comic.

This is inspired by photos of masked men putting posters on switch boxes at intersections in my city. Someone was able to pull over and tear the posters down.

I think that Trump looks at Greenland on a Mercator projection and thinks it’s HUGE, so he has to have it.

As a cartographer I can tell you that we hate the use of the Mercator projection as a general use map. The Peter (Gall) projection is just as bad. Compromise projections/globes are best.

Whatever you may feel about Scott Adams, I just know that, thanks to him, one day Crabgrass was in 70 newspapers and the next day it was in 800.

Mediocre racists always lose.

Yes, I am fine with all the other supernatural and sci-fi stuff, but this is so hard to believe that it takes me out of the story.

I still don’t get why soviet soldiers would be wearing uniforms and carrying clearly Soviet weapons in a secret base under an American shopping mall.

I fist assumed there was some portal they stabilized. But it seemed they just shipped everything over.

They sure act like J6’ers.

It’s what it was for us. That and telling our daughter and her friends that, yes, we had freedom to go anywhere and stay out till dark and other genx tropey stuff.

Then there was the whole red scare 2.0 and satanic panic that got DnD banned at our school. lol

I am sure there is a list online that puts everything in order. I’d like to try it too, but reserving the right to skip terrible episodes or movies.

I always thought time travel and multiverse ruined Star Trek, but they are also my favorite episodes.
January 13, 2026 at 5:21 AM
My head is hurting trying to fit those three of those together with the time travel angle.

I need to find more time to read. I think Grad school killed reading for me, then working remote for 11 years where I would put in 60 hours a week (salaried) left me no time. lol

As I run into the melee, facing certain death against seemingly unsurmountable odds, my battle cry will ring out, "THERE! ARE! FOUR LIGHTS!!!"

NEW COMIC!
Universal Language

Sometimes inspiration comes to me from unexpected events. After nearly falling down stairs at work I was reminded of when I slipped on an icy patch and smacked my head. Ears ringing for months. Anyway, ice is dangerous and that inspired this comic.

It starts young. In the 80s my wife and her sister were told by their grandfather to make their cousins’ beds while visiting because it was women’s work. They just looked at each other and laughed.

I met the cousins recently— thankfully they did not turn out like those guys.

Well looks like I have something to listen to at work tomorrow.
Who's that Cryptid?! That's the question on everyone's mind as we prepare to designate a monstrous hero with the right qualities, energy, and vibes to lead us all safely through 2026.
Least Haunted Episode 149: Cryptid For The Year 2026, drops tomorrow.
