Here is a LINK to the full comic.
You’ll have to scroll each individual page to read the stories (and be careful to put your cursor exactly on the “next page” arrow), but the resolution is good.
I read “The Uranium Underground”, and that was all I could take of the characters (the word “insipid” comes to mind).
By “Bungle Lens” ( I guess Google… / whose name is misspelled / Googol …. has dropped the “Lens” part of its name, but it’s still bungling ) this…
1) no holes in the head (though the fill style makes it look like lots of miniscule holes)
2) the spout is off center
3) the hoe is flat (though if it’s an edger, it’s OK)
Your assessment of his skills in explaining things is accurate, but I have to break this down into sections because of that really annoying background noise (I refuse to call it music).
I can relate to that Peary dialogue when it’s 43°F on a cloudy day… and especially in all the actually just below freezing nights we’re still getting this winter.
It’s supposed to be 26°F tomorrow night. Truly a nightmare on ice, no? Even though the lowest temp is usually for about an hour. Around 6am.
…
I know it doesn’t sound cold to you sturdy Eastern and Midwestern types … but it’s all about what you’re used to.
Where I live, in Northern California, we’re used to a few overnight hard freezes a year, but this year we’re getting that many a week, except when we had those torrential rains for a few weeks.
Besides, our houses aren’t all well insulated, and we don’t even own winter jackets.
…
When I lived in Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin, growing up, I could play outside or go for long walks in the snow. As teen, sometimes I rode my bike to school on icy winter days.
And of course no respectable teenage girl at that time would be caught dead in a warm hat like Cleo’s. A loose scarf maybe... like a knit muffler in school colors pulled up over your head. A knee length skirt and bare legs.
50-some years of California later, I look back at that cold-tolerant young girl, and think “Who is that? Did I know her?”
When I first moved to Idaho, I had sweaters and sweatshirts ~ no coat. Got coat, scarves, gloves, hats ……. I’m still not sure how to do the scarf thing and I don’t like wearing a hat ~ no matter how cold. 34 degrees here right now going way up to 35. Then next week we will be in single digits at night. Will this winter EVER end???

Athos, Porthos and Aramis on their way to meet d’Artagnan for the first time?
Don’t you worry, little brother… We’ve got your back.
Ok, at least your sides.
The little one is about the size of my Kiki. Tiny kitty.
..
Plumber’s helpers!(??) How sweet!
Help? 😀
The little guy will stick his nose in daddy’s ear at least once. The ultimate wet-willy.

Well, there’s one that likes the snow!
i can’t wait for spring!
You and me both!! We did retirement all wrong. We should have bought a house – or at least a motorhome – to spend winters some place warm.
us, too!
I always wondered why you guys wound up where you are, after living in warmer climes.
I mean both you and Perky.

…is a similar image.
,..
If we’re talking about the same thing, I think the wire(?) that holds the flat ring is V-shaped…
It’s attached to both sides of the can.
The other part kind of blends in with the leaves behind it in this picture.
Curses!
I agree with your answer.
Yes.
that’s what i found also!
2) the spout is off center
3) the hoe is flat (though if it’s an edger, it’s OK)
LOL! How could I not have seen that punchline coming?
I totally understand, Cleo. That is me when I am out in it ~ which is as seldom as possible! And snow is snow ~ barely or otherwise!
I like this young man’s work. Personal and professional. Delivered in a way that makes everything a little clearer. Good stuff.
Your assessment of his skills in explaining things is accurate, but I have to break this down into sections because of that really annoying background noise (I refuse to call it music).
And Cleo’s outfit looks warm and comfy.
Maybe she should have worn her blinking Christmas-sweater fo better visibility in that blizzard? ;-D
Hey, I get it… I’m with Cleo.

I have been so cold this winter. No cold tolerance left in my skin.
this has been a harsh winter. we do a happy dance when we top out the day at 37, like yesterday.
Brrr…

It would be ok with me, I guess…
If my house had great heating and insulation, and I had lots of flannel nightgowns, warm robes, and sheepskin slippers…
And I never had to go outside till spring.
Otherwise…noooooo.
It looks delicious… I love chocolate mint ice cream.
But please… No fresh mint leaves, and keep all that fudge syrup INSIDE the cup.
I hate this cute thing of dripping sticky stuff on the outside, where you can’t eat it and it makes a mess.
Don’t waste my chocolate!
Extra 3 Gale Garnett:
She has obviously kept her private life private, but here is a LINK documenting the public parts of her career (she is now 73).
the top portion of NH’s fabulous story felt like one of ‘the explorers club’ episodes. then we see the punch line! cleo needs to get out more!
Funny!
hhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Yay! A new dance mash-up. Good think the women in those throws were wearing flats, they could never have stuck the landing in heels.
