Meanwhile, everyone who just started reading this comic recently: “Why are the two people who just took a bow on stage now suddenly back in the audience commenting on their own performance, and why did that guy’s suit change color?”
Is… is “snack and stream” a thing that people actually say now-a-days? Or is this an attempt at wordplay on something else that I’m not catching? Or has all the lead in those CHIPS finally twisted Sarge’s brain a little too much?
If I remember correctly there *are* squirrels, or something like squirrels, but they hunt in packs, attack on sight, and their bite has a venom that drives you mad.
Heck, that actually sounds pretty good. Maybe it could even be a Harold Teen crossover with Pop Jenks behind the counter and Harold & Lillums at the next table over.
How on earth does he manage to perfectly nail the “kid who just googled ‘how to do oral book report when not read book’ half a minute ago” facial expression in every single photo he’s in?

$20 to me seems pretty typical for a VHS at the time. I don’t think I would have paid $40 unless it was, like, a fancy artsy film from an art museum gift shop or something.
I remember being surprised to realize, while looking at old advertisements some years ago, that computer games in the 1980s—of the sort that would now probably be published for free on a website, even text-adventure games—were typically priced at $30, $40, even $50.
