Captain RibMan put on three day delay after baring both breasts in strip. "Superhero" blames Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake and a "costume malfunction."

Sprengelmeyer & Davis... It took two minds to come up with that? Yikes. : )

The Vampiress in Tuesday's Sluggy Freelance also had a "wardrobe malfuction".

Tuesday's Sluggy Freelance is dead to me.

Brother!
I too am a Sluggite.
It is nifty.

[Wonder Warthog]

"It is nifty."

Worship the comic.

Sad that Captain Ribman is jugment impaired here; unable to discern the difference of circumstance; of what 'matter out of place'- aka an abomination - so to speak - means, and the axim his life follows; ie there is a right time and the right place for 'right action'. . .

Captain Ribman does not get 'it' and for those that find a humorous, correlated message here as to what occured on Super Sunday half/time; they will not have gotten 'it' either.

Not surprisingly, the truth is lost here; and hence the humor.

Back in late 2002 I started reading every single Sluggy Freelance, from the beginning. It took me until September 2003 to catch up. Never been interested in comics, on paper or the web until I found Sluggy Freelance. I now read it every day. It is quite nifty.

Forget worrying about whether or not I or anyone else "got" it about Saturday Night. I can't even figure out what in the hell that statement means.

Actually his strip about kids not being able to watch the game 'until family hour' was over was right on. The strip has a great deal of humor and common sense.

Yippy skippy, the evil!

Amazing how much more relevant webcomics can be than the "real" comics, since they don't have a deadline... the Groundhog's Day Sluggy strip was also funny.

[Defiant]

Thank goodness it was blurred out.

I can't even figure out what in the hell that statement means.

Neither can I. But I do know that every time I hear the phrase "wardrobe malfunction", I'm reminded of that most famous of all Algorismic Clintonisms. (Clintonian Algorisms?) In other words, it sounds like something Gore would say while trying to sound like Clinton.

So, when they say, "Wardrobe malfunction," I hear, "No controlling moral authority."

I like Sinfest m'self.

It's funny - the strip's makeing fun of the malfunction lie. Thanks for the post.
