They are back to the [whacky](http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=090615), temporarily. It’s not disconnected filler - there’s a mini-story going on. It’s just not as serious as the current story arc that he’s taking a break from . . . well, except for Bun bun terrorizing them. But that’s not really taken seriously. ---

By a strange coincidence, Sluggy Freelance is doing the same thing! ---

Sigh. I have no idea how that happened. Maybe God it trying to tell me to build an amusement park. ---

Sluggy has gone off my reading list. I like my daily dose of comics to contain humour, and SF just started digressing too much for my tastes - much like General Protection Fault, and I gave up on that after much exasperation. I liked the crazy humour of Sluggy - but if this is just a filler, it’s not going to tempt me back. ---

I suspect this is the last of the filler, and that he’s going back to the Oasis story. “I’ve been wronged by tacos.” That was a cool line. I hope he does this more often. I like the whacky.
