It’s 2011, and Peter Gallagher is still signing the Sunday strips with his uncle’s name 13yrs after taking over. Kind of impressive! Anyway, I liked these energetic, playful strips, and the ending genuinely made me chuckle. On a side note, I find Orangecat’s ‘Jimmy Carter’ smile a bit unnerving. Or maybe just “nightmarish.” :S

Btw, “G” can be such a slackhead penciller that I feel like I’m always finding something odd in his modern comics art. For example, Grandpa’s arm & hand turning in to sort of an ice-scraper / broad crow-bar in the last action panel. It’s almost like an illusionist / magicician principle, in which the performer makes sure to focus the audience’s attention somewhere else, and then does something tricky (or wonky) where they’re not looking. Maybe that’s even something he deliberately does for the fun of it…?
