It won’t be “BOSCO!”; it’ll be “BOXCAR!”

I’ve kept my promise to myself–as soon as the damn couple hooked up at the wedding I stopped reading the strip. BOYCOTT!  
The helicopter pilot was awesome!

That’s exactly what I did. I stopped before the kiss even so I wouldn’t throw up all over my keyboard (online comics, how I love thee).

However, I still know what’s going on because I read the Comics Curmudgeon. Profanity.
