She’ll end up wearing them. Then again, that may be her plan, too.
She stuck with an abusive, loser boyfriend who was so amazingly dense that even being in imminent danger of lead poisoning didn’t say “get lost” to his minuscule IQ.
She’s also constantly putting both feet in her mouth. And she didn’t seem all that put out ending up as her Mom and stepfather’s maid.
It all adds up to her being either submissive, having nonexistent self-esteem no matter how arrogant she acts, or both.

From my observations of liberals/progressives/socialists/-insert-latest-“cool”-label-here in the wild, that’s kind of a given. They all are looking for an “other” to take care of them. They either don’t trust their own faculties to manage affairs for themselves, or they idolize a more potent external force they believe could do a better job. They also react favorably to shows of force from a dominant “other” and praise their efficiency (Che/Mao iconography / speaking wistfully of dictators).
Worse, like so many people, they can’t conceive of anyone thinking differently from themselves. Therefore, anyone opposing government expansion or centralization of power is deliberately trying to get between them and the thing/person they are organizing their life around. The result is bewildered confusion followed by incoherent rage.

I don’t think it’s a dream. Because I can’t imagine Zed wanting to get it on with Little Miss F**kup.
Now, a nightmare, maybe, yeah.
Skye trying something amazingly stupid in “real life”, absolutely. Besides having no self-esteem, she’s never seemed to have much sense of self-preservation, either.
Another hallmark of the progressive mind. You may have noticed, those who dream of primitivist Utopias generally are sorely lacking in any of the skills needed to survive in such an environment in the real world. (See the last two chapters of Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy, or any real-world “deep-eco” conclave, for examples.)
“Dream sequence” is a term that includes nightmares, which of course the destruction of DD at the hands of gov and the rape of a virtuous man by a sick/twisted/pathetic bitch (in its true she-dog definition) would be.

I’m guessing this is not a dream, Skye is poaching on Zed with memory impairment and she thinks she’ll sample what he’d never give her otherwise, and Zed is not memory impaired for what’s happened after the crash and is giving her all the rope she needs to hang herself.

Once you realize they flat-out hate everybody else on Earth, their behavior becomes a lot easier to understand. And predict.
Yes. Why do you think Leftism and islam are so compatible?
October 29, 2015 at 1:52 pm
H_B
Judaism: thou shalt not kill
Christianity: turn the other cheek/pray for your enemies.
Islam: thou shalt not kill…unless you have been attacked first.
Now, many people look at that and think “Islam has a much more sensible approach”. But that’s not how it works out. In this world, it’s far too easy to misperceive a “slight”as something else; to “not have all the information”. “Attacks” can easily turn out to be nothing of the sort. “Unless you are attacked first” results in “unless you can construct a Rationale for why it’s reasonable to hate them”.
Unless you start from an absolute – Thou Shalt Not – there is no restriction on behavior. The absolute means that you can’t just “think up a reason” to hurt someone, one must make a break with core principles in order to carry it out. With the way our brains work, that is the only bar that keeps modern civilization from ravaging itself individually, and obliterating neighbors collectively. (See also: the Mongol’s ‘pyramids of skills’ or Roman punitive ‘Decimation’.)
This is why the Middle Eastern Nations go on and on about “the crusades” or “the loss of Iberia” or “that time the tribe over the hill insulted great-great-grand-aunt Ishah”. They’re not keeping a list of grudges, they’re keeping a catalogue of why there is no restriction whatsoever on their behavior impulses.
Indeed, rather than being “kin” to “the peoples of the book”, Islam is a litany of total moral inversion from them: assault, theft, slavery, pedophilia, murder – all are given their leave in Islam.
Political Correctness has excised a word from the English language. Since we are no longer allowed to use it because it is labeled ‘ethnocentric’ or ‘racist’ in all uses, we cannot employ it to correctly identify our attackers. That word is “savages”. It has nothing to do with a particular race or ‘skin color’, it defines a behavior where the principle reaction to adversity is violence.
The cultures of the Middle East are savage, and should be labeled as such.
Socialism gets there through control of society and redefinition of terms, but the end result is the same.
Separately, EON, in addition to the wonderful Smith Lensman and Heinlein references, it is a pleasure to work with you intellectually.
October 29, 2015 at 3:51 pm
Doo-Dah, Doo-Dah
Actually, the way Islam interprets things, if somebody is told to “accept Islam” and the somebody refuses to do so, that REFUSAL in-and-of-itself constitutes an “attack on Islam” that requires a “defensive attack” in return.
The twisting of rational logic into an upside-down, inside-out, and flat-out-wrong jumble of wishful thinking and/or conspiracy theory is common to both Islam and The Left.
October 29, 2015 at 7:02 pm
OweninGA
H_B,
Actually in Judaism the correct translation is:
Thou shalt not commit MURDER.
It is not the word for killing, but rather the word that means to kill another person with malice of forethought. Other than that I concur on your points.

That might be her objective. Get knocked up by Zed, claim Tucker is the dad. She ends up with him without the “risk” of having his kids.
Crazy does not equal stupid. And like Andray Dunnan, she thinks the whole world runs on scheming, conniving, and conspiring.
Anyone like that is apt to spend quite a bit of time thinking about scheming, conniving, and conspiring themselves. And thus is apt to come up with relatively well-conceived schemes.
One more reason they really are not to be trusted.
If the DD attack is “real” (and I’m a non-betting man betting not), then that shit is all over the news, maybe even live-feed ala Waco…seeing how that played out and seeing how Zero played it would be a gripping storyline.

The two things that everyone has overlooked is — BOOBIES —. We have full frontal Skye and you’re talking dream sequences. Let’s get our priorities straight people —BOOBIES—.
Not overlooked, SD…but sometimes nudity is not attractive or seductive but is just porn. The nature of the nudity, the intent, and the activity in which it is employed, can be more turn-off than turn-on, at least for me…here’s another example:
Take an activity that I treasure and ridicule and belittle it (like lovemaking with a loved one or possessing and using a firearm), and it makes me sick no matter how much you inflate those chest bags.

Jan is not a dream sequence, and I am hoping that Sam finally recognizes that her sister is so utterly degenerate that blood no longer counts. She needs to be literally slapped down and then kicked out.
The evil that exists in “progressives” who believe their desires trump everyone else’s cannot be overstated.
And, at this point, DHS means it doesn’t matter who destroys your property – and possibly your loved ones. ATF opened the dance at Waco, but it was FBI who burned women and children to death. They are also the ones who killed Weaver’s wife with a shot directly into the “sniper’s triangle” – absolutely an aimed shot, NOT an accident. “Good” men don’t go along with orders to kill women and children, so tell me no tales of “good” men within the FBI or ATF.

Chris Muir
The phrase “I know it when I see it” is a colloquial expression by which a speaker attempts to categorize an observable fact or event, although the category is subjective or lacks clearly defined parameters. The phrase was famously used in 1964 by United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart to describe his threshold test for obscenity in Jacobellis v. Ohio.[1][2][3] In explaining why the material at issue in the case was not obscene under the Roth test, and therefore was protected speech that could not be censored, Stewart wrote:
I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description [“hard-core pornography”], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that.[4]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it: “The expression became one of the most famous phrases in the entire history of the Supreme Court.[5] Though “I know it when I see it” is widely cited as Stewart’s test for “obscenity”, he never used the word “obscenity” himself in his short concurrence. He only stated that he knows what fits the “shorthand description” of “hard-core pornography” when he sees it.”
I don’t see porn here at all, and I should know, because I do look at porn.Ahem.

My wife and I compete to see who can catch it first (it’s normally up between 6:30pm and 8:00pm PST).
Anybody who thought I was calling this piece (heh) porn has never read my comments on the artful commentary of our host. There’s a bigass (heh again) difference between peddling porn that, far from celebrating beauty, desire and human instinct, uses those elements to defile and degrade the beauty of them, as opposed to depicting it to make one hell of a powerful statement and metaphor.
The “girl with a gun” link that I posted upthread is a perfect example of the former, while the evil that Chris makes us “feel” in Skye, that speaks volumes about her opinion of herself, others, and the world…and in the process embodies and exposes so much of what is wrong with the “progressive” world, is an example of the latter as good as anything I’ve ever seen.

“it’s just a dream – it’s just a dream – it’s just a dream – it’s just a dream …”
Would somebody Please go wake up Chris?
“it’s just a dream – it’s just a dream – it’s just a dream – it’s just a dream …”
I don’t think it’s a dream. Because I can’t imagine Zed wanting to get it on with Little Miss F**kup.
Now, a nightmare, maybe, yeah.
Skye trying something amazingly stupid in “real life”, absolutely. Besides having no self-esteem, she’s never seemed to have much sense of self-preservation, either.
Another hallmark of the progressive mind. You may have noticed, those who dream of primitivist Utopias generally are sorely lacking in any of the skills needed to survive in such an environment in the real world. (See the last two chapters of Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy, or any real-world “deep-eco” conclave, for examples.)

“Dream sequence” is a term that includes nightmares, which of course the destruction of DD at the hands of gov and the rape of a virtuous man by a sick/twisted/pathetic bitch (in its true she-dog definition) would be.
Nothing wrong with Skye that Sam couldn’t fix with her hands..
If this is a dream sequence, then that’s one thing.
But if this is real, it had better end with Sam blowing Skye’s head off with a Marlin lever action 45/70 Gov’t or I’m outa here.
A sister engaging in mate-poaching on a wounded veteran with memory issues is outclassed only by pedophilia.
Or incest.
In some jurisdictions, since Skye and Zed are related by marriage, it would be incest.
I’m not fussy, like you are, about the means of dispensation. Could be a 12 gauge, a twelve pound sledgehammer….
There is no third thing, is that clear?
In no particular order, Trump, Cruz, Carson, Rubio.
Let’s see if we can fuck this up.
My winners in last nights effort…Rubio, Cruz, and sadly, Christie. The rest were forgetable…
Jeez. Not sure which story track I want to see tomorrow.
What is Skye’s motive?
Lust and envy…and there are worse fates for the poor guy
Don’t forget jealousy, as many libs are for what Cons have. “But Sam, it’s not fair that you have worked hard for what you have- you have to share it with me!”

Zed, you’re married to a striking, smart & well-armed Red-Head…
But as a combat solider, there are some trenches you shouldn’t be in…this is one of them.
I on the other hand, am single…=)
Perhaps, after through check for STDS and spaying the biatch.
And this strip might be Zed hallucinating (we hope for EVERYONE’S sake)…but whats happening back at the DD, I don’t think it is…even I hope it is.
Is this the damn illegals causing havoc? Or worse?
And dang it, let everyone be okay!
The only way this ends well is if this some extreme shock treatment to jar his memory totally back or to see if he really does recognize his wife and isn’t just going with the flow, as it were.
That’s what I see..shock treatment to reset his memory with a little bit of jolly slap and tickle as the cure…Actually the author should draw and sell an adult novella to readers as a fund raiser. He certainly has the artistic skill and can spin a good story…I’d buy a copy.
This is a very bad trip. What went in Zeds IV?
And, if this isn’t a trip, that bitch needs to be destroyed.
But! But! But!
I want to see Sam kick Skye into the ceiling fixtures next entertaining episode!!!
I don’t think this is a Zed dream. We already know how he feels about Skye. Never in a million years.
Of course, it might be a Zed nightmare!
I’m guessing this is not a dream, Skye is poaching on Zed with memory impairment and she thinks she’ll sample what he’d never give her otherwise, and Zed is not memory impaired for what’s happened after the crash and is giving her all the rope she needs to hang herself.
I’m hoping the scene at the Double D is a dream sequence, but then again Obola and his Injustice Department could well decide to ignore Diplomatic protocol if the fee insulted enough.
Or else trying once more to “send a message” to somebody.
I’ve noticed that The One seems to give one of his usual incoherent, rambling speeches (and we think Biden is “mental”), then drones something somewhere.
When I was a kid, the local schoolyard bullies tended to couple teasing and demanding with rock-throwing, window-breaking, spray-painting, and etc., so it may just be one more indicator that the Messiah has never actually grown up.

1. Is Sam crashed out in Zed’s room on one of the day beds?
2. Where did Skye get the cuffs? Tucker will be ticked if they are his.
3. Is Mama on her way? ( I would not want to be Skye if that were the case)
4. Bad interaction with the medication, and a horrific hallucination.
5. There are instances that no matter how hard you drill, you will come up with a dry well. No liquid gold because it is already tapped out.
6. All of the above.
Phenergan?
Ketamine. Good for a three day nightmare.
Or your depression, depending on the dose.
I was feeling pretty good after my last colonoscopy.
Skye is pure evil. Please, Chris, don’t let Zed do it!
Remember what Skye tried to do to Anatoly and Naomi! She’d love to break up Zed and Sam’s marriage. Because that’s how Selfish Leftists ROLL!
Once you realize they flat-out hate everybody else on Earth, their behavior becomes a lot easier to understand. And predict.
clear ether

Yes. Why do you think Leftism and islam are so compatible?
Judaism: thou shalt not kill
Christianity: turn the other cheek/pray for your enemies.
Islam: thou shalt not kill…unless you have been attacked first.
Now, many people look at that and think “Islam has a much more sensible approach”. But that’s not how it works out. In this world, it’s far too easy to misperceive a “slight”as something else; to “not have all the information”. “Attacks” can easily turn out to be nothing of the sort. “Unless you are attacked first” results in “unless you can construct a Rationale for why it’s reasonable to hate them”.
Unless you start from an absolute – Thou Shalt Not – there is no restriction on behavior. The absolute means that you can’t just “think up a reason” to hurt someone, one must make a break with core principles in order to carry it out. With the way our brains work, that is the only bar that keeps modern civilization from ravaging itself individually, and obliterating neighbors collectively. (See also: the Mongol’s ‘pyramids of skills’ or Roman punitive ‘Decimation’.)
This is why the Middle Eastern Nations go on and on about “the crusades” or “the loss of Iberia” or “that time the tribe over the hill insulted great-great-grand-aunt Ishah”. They’re not keeping a list of grudges, they’re keeping a catalogue of why there is no restriction whatsoever on their behavior impulses.
Indeed, rather than being “kin” to “the peoples of the book”, Islam is a litany of total moral inversion from them: assault, theft, slavery, pedophilia, murder – all are given their leave in Islam.
Political Correctness has excised a word from the English language. Since we are no longer allowed to use it because it is labeled ‘ethnocentric’ or ‘racist’ in all uses, we cannot employ it to correctly identify our attackers. That word is “savages”. It has nothing to do with a particular race or ‘skin color’, it defines a behavior where the principle reaction to adversity is violence.
The cultures of the Middle East are savage, and should be labeled as such.
Socialism gets there through control of society and redefinition of terms, but the end result is the same.
Separately, EON, in addition to the wonderful Smith Lensman and Heinlein references, it is a pleasure to work with you intellectually.
Actually, the way Islam interprets things, if somebody is told to “accept Islam” and the somebody refuses to do so, that REFUSAL in-and-of-itself constitutes an “attack on Islam” that requires a “defensive attack” in return.
The twisting of rational logic into an upside-down, inside-out, and flat-out-wrong jumble of wishful thinking and/or conspiracy theory is common to both Islam and The Left.
H_B,
Actually in Judaism the correct translation is:
Thou shalt not commit MURDER.
It is not the word for killing, but rather the word that means to kill another person with malice of forethought. Other than that I concur on your points.
Does she get pregnant from this?
That might be her objective. Get knocked up by Zed, claim Tucker is the dad. She ends up with him without the “risk” of having his kids.
Crazy does not equal stupid. And like Andray Dunnan, she thinks the whole world runs on scheming, conniving, and conspiring.
Anyone like that is apt to spend quite a bit of time thinking about scheming, conniving, and conspiring themselves. And thus is apt to come up with relatively well-conceived schemes.
One more reason they really are not to be trusted.

Not if he slaps the cuffs on her and takes her up the Back Nine…
…which she would probably enjoy.
Dang,Chris, talk about cliffhangers!
Chris has made plain the conundrum that us old guys remember from the SE Asia games:
How could someone so lovely do such incredible wrong? (Fonda/Skye)
Is this about fracking or —–
If the DD attack is “real” (and I’m a non-betting man betting not), then that shit is all over the news, maybe even live-feed ala Waco…seeing how that played out and seeing how Zero played it would be a gripping storyline.
Still, I’ll stick to dream/nightmare sequence. Please.
My 2 cents
DD is real, but its Sam that’s having the dream of Skye and Zed.
I’m thinking that the DD Ranch / Waco sequence from yesterday is Zed coming out of a bad reaction to hospital Rx drugs. The green-and-black rectangle at the top of the panel, to me, is the overhead fluorescent hospital room lighting.
The two things that everyone has overlooked is — BOOBIES —. We have full frontal Skye and you’re talking dream sequences. Let’s get our priorities straight people —BOOBIES—.
Um by the way, what happened to the truck.

Venire eos et accusam
Not overlooked, SD…but sometimes nudity is not attractive or seductive but is just porn. The nature of the nudity, the intent, and the activity in which it is employed, can be more turn-off than turn-on, at least for me…here’s another example:
http://www.gunnuts.net/2015/10/23/girls-with-guns-who-thinks-this-is-hot/
Take an activity that I treasure and ridicule and belittle it (like lovemaking with a loved one or possessing and using a firearm), and it makes me sick no matter how much you inflate those chest bags.
Mr. Muir makes art not porn, though on Skye it’s bad art with evil intentions. On a side note if it is indeed a dream which is the dream, Skye trying to entertain Zed or the DD burning? By the way back to my original question, where’s the truck?
Spin

Whoever took that picture got it all wrong.
She’s not wearing shooting glasses and isn’t wearing Leights for hearing protection.
And the young lady just gets ‘better drawn’…I am reminded of the great line from Roger Rabbit…
Jessica Rabbit: “I’m not bad. I’m just drawn that way.”
I, uh, um…I’ll be in my bunk. But I’ll be feeling very conflicted about it.
You taking Vera with you…
Aren’t Jan, Anatoly and Naomi plus ALL the kids still back at DD? yikes!, cliffhanger indeed.
Has Skye found her next baby-daddy? Will Sam be acquitted of murder?
With the kid flying recon with the drone, oncoming tanks and APCs would alert everyone to take cover in storm/fallout shelters and combat bunkers. Wade might not have anti-armor weapons under the current readings of the Second Amendment, but Don Portago may have provided such weapons to his consulate. I just hope the armor is manned by ATFMF, not FBI.
This is like a medium-hard ‘R’ rated replay of the farm attack from ‘Triple Ought’. Only thing missing are spider holes and fougasses triggered from a Mr. Destructo switch panel.
I’m hoping to hell this is some kind of Zed recovering-memory fugue or you’re at risk of writing yourself into a pretty dark corner. Still wouldn’t miss the ride though.
(at a loss to understand WHY she is doing this.)
She could get tail anywhere. Here, she is guaranteeing her sister will destroy your, as will the rest of the relatives.
What’s the point?
Jan is not a dream sequence, and I am hoping that Sam finally recognizes that her sister is so utterly degenerate that blood no longer counts. She needs to be literally slapped down and then kicked out.
The evil that exists in “progressives” who believe their desires trump everyone else’s cannot be overstated.
And, at this point, DHS means it doesn’t matter who destroys your property – and possibly your loved ones. ATF opened the dance at Waco, but it was FBI who burned women and children to death. They are also the ones who killed Weaver’s wife with a shot directly into the “sniper’s triangle” – absolutely an aimed shot, NOT an accident. “Good” men don’t go along with orders to kill women and children, so tell me no tales of “good” men within the FBI or ATF. (And I am a former peace officer, myself.)
Do you mean “Skye is not a dream sequence”?
Who knew she was a fan of “All in the Family?”
Stifle Skye.
Well, here’s a question…
WHERE the heck did she keep the handcuffs/cellphone at?
After looking back, I seeing that Zed recognized Sam, this is a Dream, and the drugs are wearing off…
Comment #89…COME ON ONE HUNDRED!
There are thousands of places on the net where I could go to see porn. There are precious few with good storylines, good art and which are conservative as well.
Please stick with being the latter type of site, not the former. This kind of “art” should be reserved for those who paid you extra for it- and sent to them privately please!
The phrase “I know it when I see it” is a colloquial expression by which a speaker attempts to categorize an observable fact or event, although the category is subjective or lacks clearly defined parameters. The phrase was famously used in 1964 by United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart to describe his threshold test for obscenity in Jacobellis v. Ohio.[1][2][3] In explaining why the material at issue in the case was not obscene under the Roth test, and therefore was protected speech that could not be censored, Stewart wrote:
I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description [“hard-core pornography”], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that.[4]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it: “The expression became one of the most famous phrases in the entire history of the Supreme Court.[5] Though “I know it when I see it” is widely cited as Stewart’s test for “obscenity”, he never used the word “obscenity” himself in his short concurrence. He only stated that he knows what fits the “shorthand description” of “hard-core pornography” when he sees it.”
I don’t see porn here at all, and I should know, because I do look at porn.Ahem.
And thanks Chris for setting the threshold for what you draw. Beautiful women are just that, beautiful. Too say otherwise is projecting one’s personal opinion into the equation and I like your style.

Don’t let the prudes, even the conservative ones, spook you. Politics is an adult sport.
Pretty amazing story arc, with lots of interesting ‘arc-ettes’.
Well Mr Muir, you certainly got the gallery buzzing with this one, sir. Well turned.
Story arcs like this are the reason this strip is the first thing I turn to in the morning. As much as it’s been one kick in the teeth after another, it’s also some of your best work – and that’s saying something!
My wife and I compete to see who can catch it first (it’s normally up between 6:30pm and 8:00pm PST).
101! DingDingDing…
Anybody who thought I was calling this piece (heh) porn has never read my comments on the artful commentary of our host. There’s a bigass (heh again) difference between peddling porn that, far from celebrating beauty, desire and human instinct, uses those elements to defile and degrade the beauty of them, as opposed to depicting it to make one hell of a powerful statement and metaphor.
The “girl with a gun” link that I posted upthread is a perfect example of the former, while the evil that Chris makes us “feel” in Skye, that speaks volumes about her opinion of herself, others, and the world…and in the process embodies and exposes so much of what is wrong with the “progressive” world, is an example of the latter as good as anything I’ve ever seen.
Never stick your dick in crazy. Never.
