I just wanted to say that I thought Slug could have done better with this week’s topic. There was a lot more here than a reporter looking at the wacko-of-the-week’s shoes!

Here we had an article which included (in no particular order):

Elvis, Hoffa, an illicit affair, a faked drowning/disappearance, a real death by sedative overdose, a radio evangelist and a ransom note…

Maybe Slug’s spending 1/2 his time doing police sketches for the FBI or something but I usually expect more punch from the dude.

Slug… take a vitamin or something! Get back on your feet boy!

Not saying I want his job or anything… if you gave it to me, you’d get stick figures and clip art… Slug’s The Man, I just don’t want to see his game slip like this.
