The dialogue in panel 1 was suggested to me by a reader. Thank you Moina! And I think this brings the Food as Distraction tally up to 3 so far. If this were a different style of comic, I would probably have Selkie pull a Monterey Jack at some point.
I believe this is also the first time we’ve had a clear look at the license plate on Todd’s car. We’ve seen it before, but it was illegible due to artist fail. XD
If you’re having trouble figuring out what the license plate means, here is a hint: Who do pirates call to build their ships?
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
Didn’t he think of dropping the food off at home first?
I saw this coming, but did not say anything because its seemed like a silly detail that a ‘story’ could over look. heh works well when you don’t though
Well, if the stop takes longer than you expect…
Also, when was the last time he had to worry about meat in his car?
XD HAHAHa you put it in!!! Fab!
Architect.
I guess as a vegetarian, he may have forgot that meat rots in a hot car?
I still don’t get the license plate thing :(. Btw, I know what 🙂 and 😀 is.. but what is XD supposed to represent?
XD = Big laughter. Basically the X is eyes clenched tightly shut because you’re laughing so hard…
Arrrr-chitect:) LOL, neat license plate! And that dialogue is great!
And I like the Monty reference:)
I don’t have an “Oh gob, bad vish” voice. I have an “Oh gob, wud did yoo roll in, dug?”
lol, atleast Selkie’s taking the loss of her fish in good spirit. Hopefully they can get the smell out. Bad fish can sometimes stick around for days.
I have to wonder why Todd didn’t buy any of those lovely freezer bags–you know, the insulated zip-shut ones that keep your ice cream from melting all over your trunk for at least half an hour? They’re, like, $2, and really come in handy.
Also… Windows down, A/C off, and toss the fish ASAP. There’s a chance the smell will be gone by the time he gets home. If not, they make baking soda boxes with open sides that work wonders.
…shipwrights, but I don’t think that was the point…
There is a good solid chance I’ve forgotten the details of that particular joke’s set-up. 😀

Ah ha ha ha! I love the licence plate! We have this silly song called “It’s talk like a pirate day” that uses that joke in it. Plus a lot of other bad pirate puns.
Oh the song is by Tom Smith, just reading the lyrics online wont get you the full effect because he stops the singing occasionally to add more puns to the already punny song.
Hey Dave, what’s a pirates favorite letter?
Aaah, ye think it be arrr, but it be the sea! 😀
Ha ha ha! Love it.
I love this comic!!!!!!!
*cue massive groan from every single reader of Dominic Deegan*
i thought rikki tikki tavi at first
“I didn’ts knows boys coulds wears pantyhose”
… ROFLMAO
I thought the license plate was based on the sound of the car (rrrr-keh-tah-keh-tah), sort of like how Chitty Chitty Bang Bang got it’s name. 🙂
