I Hate B.C.

What are these ster-i-ods of which he speaks? Why do they make you split your bat when you take your practice swing?

There are two issues here. First, is the use of the word "steriod," which I will just assume is a mistake, and the misspelling ISN'T key to the understanding of the joke. Second, is the fact that well, I don't get it. It seems to be saying you will be so strong that even when you swing on a practice swing, you will break your bat. Uhm, OK. I can't really picture that, but I think it is called "EXAGGERATION," and it is supposed to be funny. But it's not. Not funny at all.

And why, why, why is this strip set in prehistoric times? They play baseball and conduct interviews with microphones. I also think that is part of the humor. HA HA! Cavemen (except Johnny Damon) didn't play baseball! But I don't think that's funny, either.

There seem to be more candidates for Mrs. Raptor's true identity:

Elton John?



Divine?



Mimi from The Drew Carrey Show?


Come on, people? Do any of those suggestions make ANY SENSE? Why would any of these folks disguise themselves as a high school mom in a small town stuck in the 1950s? No reason. Only World Domination, which is of course why Ursula is doing it.
