    Foot! I bet Zeta is the star reporter there.

      I bet Zeta is the OWNER there. Or co-owner, at least. I could see Zeta and Foot being equals, but if one of them is the sidekick, it’d be Foot.

      It was going great until the news channels started comparing the senator with King Kong.

    Foot know that proper podiatric care almost as essential as critical media vocabulary. (DR. SMITH teach Foot well.)

    Ah, good ol’ Foot. Also, congrats to Senator Mongorsky. Question, is this his first term?

    • awgiedawgie
      June 11, 2022, 10:51 am | # | Reply

      A senator’s term lasts six years, and he was senator at the end of Narbonic, which was 16 years ago. So if he’s served continuously, this would be at least his third term.

      • Robert Nowall
        June 11, 2022, 12:23 pm | # | Reply

        Could’a been appointed to fill out someone else’s term. Or could be out of office and still be called Senator.

          The Thanksgiving dinner photo definitely hasn’t been taken yet, because it shows both Artie and Sergio. So at least some of those images are definitely still in the future.

          Good point, especially seeing that the next (& final) strip is a chat between him & Helen whether it’s possible to foresee the future without a time machine.

    On the mighty Internet
    A comic fan—that’s me.
    Fell in like with zombie freeks
    And cross-dressers and bees.
    Posted comments, parodies,
    Happy to revere.
    Till was announced an ending,
    So I’ll shout it now right here.

    It’s a short time to the conclusion,
    It’s a short time to go.
    It’s a short time to the conclusion,
    And the characters we know.
    Goodbye, non-human creatures,
    Farewell, censor swears.
    It’s a short, short time to the conclusion,
    But I’ll be right there.

    Nick Zerhakker fell in love,
    Married Ginny Lee.
    Five years passed, they now have kids,
    Right now two, soon three.
    Jonah, Nera work for FOOT,
    Bigger in two ways.
    It’s left to wonder of the rest,
    There’s hope in coming days.

    It’s a long time to the conclusion,
    It’s a long time to go.
    It’s a long time to the conclusion,
    And the characters we know.
    Goodbye, non-human creatures,
    Farewell, censor swears.
    Seems it’s taking, like, forever,
    But I’ll be right there.

    —from “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary,” written by Jack Judge and Harry Williams (this is disputed), sung by John McCormack, then, lots and lots of people after that.

    Nera and Jonah have work now. They’re a bright shining light in the mirk, now. FOOT Network’s their place, and their non-human base…if Jonah is not a big jerk now.
