I, too, find it to be excellent, but it's hardly new. Early 20th Century if not older. I'd considered using it's cousin "swacked" which seems to be of more recent vintage, circa the Second World War, but I decided snoggered was a better fit for our synthetic Irishman.
(My personal impressions only. Someone must have made an academic study of terms describing states of inebriation. I should find it.)
OldGoat:
Comic's up. So THAT's why Mom was up baking cookies!

Indeed. Especially when you consider that the best guess for the word's origin is from an Irish word, snagaireact.

Since Clinton could smell cannabis in the air I think the cookies have no secret ingredients. She doesn't know Brun well enough and wouldn't want to get her in trouble if she has to take a drug test in the immediate future.
BenRG:
Nothing about today's strip really surprises me. Every interaction the cast has had with Mrs A in the recent past has indicated that she's having a second adolescence of some kind. What today's strip reveals is that this is happening because, in some ways, she didn't have much of one in the first place. I'm wondering if she'd married Clinton and Claire's dad when she was quite young (got her MRS degree very early on in college, possibly)?
Meanwhile, Clinton is right: Making decisions when intoxicated is always a huge risk. This is mostly because being intoxicated makes bad choices seem like good choices and that's always a bad thing when making irrevocable choices. It's funny, in a way, just how many choices turn out to be irrevocable under specific and surprisingly common circumstances. For example: Dogs are good as companions; as space heaters, less so.
It was a good thing Clinton turned up when did as it may be that he has prevented his mother from turning into the neighbourhood's Crazy Dog Lady.
