    1. Yeah, what Jamly said. But I also think it’s a religious symbol, specifically for the leading American religion of this world (not Christianity apparently).

      Also it’s totally a vagina.

  1. Love this comic. Probably more than Girl Genius, which is the only other serious contender for me at the moment. This is the best web comic I have ever read and I want more! Faster! Eh, but I’ll have to content myself with re-reading the archives again =)

  2. that pitbull derpface. so amazing. the longer i looked at it the more hilarious it got.

    i snorted into my tea :( grosss

  3. It’s been a while since I’ve reread the whole comic, so I forgot to be nervous about everyone and everything until Bo dropped his shit all over. D:> Damnit, Spike!

  4. See the sad thing is Bo is actually -right-, the Jakes would gladly scatter Sunny across town in 1-inch chunks…

    1. All things being equal, they might like to tune Sunny up, but I’m thinking the Jakes can’t wait to get the hell outta Dodge…AFTER whatever’s left of EJ leads them back to Biggs.

      1. Amen to that! My sister’s still hasn’t figured out that the cats don’t like her, and that her presence is therefore not useful when mediating cat arguments…

          1. Yeah, but Sunny punched a Jake lady, too; Emma, after she threatened him with a knife.

            And then at some point she ran away, not sure if it’s correlated. But she isn’t Jake anymore.

    1. LOL! I went and looked again, and with your comment in my mind, I totally saw/heard him singing. ‘Fighting evil by moonlight! Winning love by daylight!’

    1. Yeah… I’m thinking the header should be changed from “M. W. F.” to “Quarterly”. Then we could plan for it.

  5. I would hire you to draw all the pitbulls that come into the shelter I volunteer at. They’re always so derpy and cute but people are still kind of afraid of them. Derp drawing would help.

  6. dear spike,

    i think one of the funniest parts of this site has become checking back for the increasingly dramatic and often poetic laments that build up beneath long unupdated posts. it’d be great if you did post more regularly, but in the mean time, come on people, let’s get creative!

    much love.

    1. Lo, I stumble through the wasteland….

      Behind me, a thousand dead websites litter the infosphere….

      Suddenly, ahead! An oasis! Could it be a posting? A comment by Spike? Oh help me, TWO comics?

      I reach the oasis and again, I am saddened as it turns to dust… in truth nothing more than than a reload of the comments page and a few ad hits… I hear Caravan playing in the background….

      And then I think, well, it’s been six years since A Lesson Is Learned was updated…. and it just updated!!! Holy cow maybe we will get more Templar!!

      My faith invigorated, I renew my (web)crawl, loading that tab only to see Bo screaming again and again

      (still, it’s better than the long pause in the era of the handmade gun sale… I’d rather eat sand than see that panel again)

  7. So…we’re not getting updates ’cause she’s spending so much time looking for that pitbull derpface drawing job?

  8. Seems like Spike is too busy with everything else she’s doing. Would be nice to at least get a real update or something saying the comic is on hiatus here. I’m not the type of person that’s gonna read/decipher months of fucking twitter feed to see that she never said anything about Templar to anyways.
