Lois keeps screwing around so much across so many flights, that she eventually does slip.
On her way down, she blissfully thinks "hahaha, I've really got Clark tied around my finger!"

Meanwhile, Kal-El is thinking to himself: "you know... I'm still not totally sure that looping around the planet and reversing time was the perfectly-right decision (as seen in Superman ), mainly in order to save Lois' life.

"Now, what am I going to do, here," he ponders.....

"Clark... Superman... Kal-El... I'm over here! I'm WAIT-ING, dumdum!"
(Lois is routinely used to falling from high heights, but oddly, it's her BF's lack of immediate attention that's pissing her off)

Kal-El ponders a bit more about the intrinsic nature of their relationship, the ins & outs, the costs to him as a person over the years, until a tremendous *THUMP* is heard.

It seems that Lois, in the meantime, has formed an interesting new crater-formation in the New Mexican desert.

"Oh gods!, oh no!..." hmmmm, but actually (he thinks to himself) I always did love New Mexico's archeological history. :D

As a resident of Lesser Carolina, it is not fun watching one of my federal representatives live post their mental breakdown in real time.

This one has always been pretty wild & funny to me, and I always kinda put it down to oddball, vintage comics scenarios, but... actually it seems more likely to be a riff or parody of another 50's panel I once read, which of course I can't remember, now.

In fact, the artist seems to be Felix D’Eon of Mexico City, who evidently likes exploring LGBTQ+ themes via Pop-Art.

Seriously though, this one could almost be a Twilight Zone / Outer Limits / One Step Beyond episode, you know? Either way, some things just make you chortle endlessly, and you can't even explain properly...

Once again, although these may have started as edits, at this point they're more like parody / tributes. I'm sharing this series because these are topical and seem to go over well. I do have a lot more pure edits that are pretty much in the 'potential lead balloon' category, so you know...

It's always surreal when my edits get posted by Gallagher.

Zippy the Pinhead is an alt / underground comic that's been running since the 70's.

If you're an old-head like me, you may also know him as co-creator of the Wacky Packages trading cards.

One thing that's a little different here is that (as I understand it), Bil Keane actually cooperated with Griffith in letting him finish this strip. Keane evidently liked to 'let his pants down,' make some wild (unofficial) FC comics, and collaborate with his artist friends. That's fooled me a couple times now when it comes to Family Circus comics.

I love this one-panel comic, but to me the original makes too strong of a case for KAM ("Kool-Aid Man") being the jar, not the liquid. The jar, because it's more permanent, and has the face & body. Meanwhile, the liquid is only temporary, and will be remixed and re-consumed.

So I used GIMP to remove the face on the jar. Now KAM has a stronger case to potentially be the drink itself, not to mention he looks much more fun at parties.

Not really sure where the best place is for more of the authors comics, but here's a start: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22pizzastrike%22+comics&udm=2

Red Meat is (or was) an indie / underground comic that began in 1989. The idea was for author Max Cannon to take stock characters and have them interact via speech bubbles with minimal movement and scenery change. So the first panel usually wound up looking very much like the last, only with changing text. Here's an official strip, below:

(right-click as needed)

Built on top of that (or alongside, whatever) was a cool webtool that allowed visitors to select two characters from a pool of two dozen+ and add their own text. Unfortunately the tool doesn't seem to work anymore. I found it fun to play with, and there was a long archive of user-submitted toons, a lot of them pretty amusing IMO. And really, just a tool to format text in to speech bubbles still seems oddly elusive even today, but that web-tool handled it like a boss.

As for the OP comic, it was created long ago by, uh... someone, and if you want to read more of the official "RM" comics, the first link offers a few dozen.
