I'm not even sure that there are going to be any Bembo strips this week. On Twitter, Jeph said he was planning to run 'Patreon strips or something'.Oh.
I’d prefer to see what the characters from Alice Groce are up to.
Interestingly, while I'm NOT a expert at all, it sorta looks like Spooky is wearing a binder.To me it looks like they are wearing a standard enough women’s sports top. Spookybot doesn’t exactly have breasts, but doesn’t exactly not have breasts either, so the top is kind of necessary for Jeph to avoid violating his TOS with his advertisers.
I don't know, Azathoth seems more like a cat name to me.I had to look up what an Azathoth was, but I agree, rather as the hero in Rogue Male (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_Male_(novel)) gives the name Azmodeus to the black stray cat that shares his hiding-place.
Maybe Hannelore should move to this apartment building. If the landlord hasn’t evicted Melon for putting a hole in the floor they probably wouldn’t mind her installing a private washing machine.

Wait, landlords have a problem with people having a washing machine at the place? That's a thing?
...I don't think I know of a single place anyone I know lives, owned or rented, that doesn't have a washing machine. I mean, hand-washing all your clothes seems so "early 60s".
(I mean, I'm vaguely aware that US has a lot of laundromats and whatnot, but doesn't using those add up to a shitton of money?)

Marten and Hannelore's apartment has a communal laundry room used by everyone living in the block (that's how Juicy's knickers got mixed into Hanners' laundry and is the origin of Hanners' vendetta against the other woman). Mostly, I think it's a structural issue - Older brownstones don't have strong enough floors to handle the vibration of drum washing machines and strengthening the floors would be fantastically expensive, even if it was practicable. Most landlords found it easier to modify the basement into a laundry room with industrial-type washing machines or, as is the case with this building, strengthen just one unit on the top floor (possibly connected to the rooftop utility room) to act as a laundry.

Aaand now we know exactly where Melon lives compared to Roko...You think that’s bad? I’m trying to come up with a way to catalyse a thermite reaction with baking soda and whatever that liquid was…
"There's also the issue of laundry machines requiring special high-voltage power connections"
Is that a thing? If so, is it in countries which use the 110v standard for mains power (which obviously requires roughly double the current to deliver a given amount of power that 220-240v systems do)? In Australia (230v nominal voltage), we can run washing-machines off the normal 10A outlets without problems.
"There's also the issue of laundry machines requiring special high-voltage power connections"US washing machines are 110-120v. Dryers are the power suckers at 220-240v.

This one with Melon comparing herself to an actual melon was definitely released to the general public before, because I remember it; the others this week have been new to me.
Am I the only one who thinks that, in panel 3, Marten is looking to see if Jeph has messaged him about upcoming parts in the comic and seen nothing?You might be.
My money's on Amber.
Yes. It's my version of a running gag carried over from the DoA thread elsewhere in this forum.My money's on Amber.
Amber who? Are you somehow referring to Amber from DoA?
"GRAMPA"?
