Thunder From Down Under, or Blooming Hell
When did 'gocomics.com' replace 'ucomics.com'? I can't be sure, because Shrubville tells all there is to know, making it unnecessary to bother checking in on the actual strip. Let's hear it for CJo and Furnace and they quality posts they put up 6 days out of the week.
If I can step back for a second and discuss yesterday's strip, and I believe I can and will, I took note of a certain quote given by a certain character - "Is God allowed in Modern US society?" I turned it over in my mind, slept on it, and decided. Yes, God is allowed in modern US society. Every week we find out that we're all created equally in God's image, courtesy of US. We're so gosh darn alike it's scary, and yet we probably won't go another week without Prickly City bashing our brothers and sisters in Hollywood.
I'm glad I could straighten that out, because I'm not sure I could handle the mixed messages in today's strip too well.
First, God sends a message to "knock it off." I was unaware that God went around yelling "Oy! We're gonna surprise you!" Who would the "we" be, anyhow, the Holy Trinity? Does this disprove the Protestant movement?
Second, what's this "implied" business that God is talking about? How should we take his explicit direction from the first book of the Bible to "be fruitful"? Should Winslow infer from this that it's time for a trip to the bathhouse?
And finally, to top off the confusion...dinosaurs? As George Harrison might say the Chiffons were implying - my sweet lord! Dinosaurs & the word of God lying together in the panel as a man would with a woman? For Scott's sake, I hope that Carl Everett doesn't read the comics, or he might go jurassic on his ass, and not in the good way that Winslow would.

Ucomics became GoComics about a week or so ago.
This is the third time Universal Press Syndicate changed the name of their comic-strip archive website (it was originally just UExpress/comics, then UComics, then GoComics)
On a positive note, they increased the limit of their archive from 2 weeks to 4 weeks.

I think Winslow heard him wrong and God said, "Knock her up," which explains why K-Fed got to shoot another love bullet into Britney even though she hates him.
Oh he said "knock it down," which is what you should do as a defender during a hail mary.
