On today's Alley Oop - 10 April 2021

 For maybe the first time since the Lemsay takeover, Doc Wonmug finally says something that we can all agree on, "I'm glad that's over." There's the usual nonsensical events in today's strip but finally this rather drab story is kaput. Apparently running out of bus jokes, the Terrific Trio uses the time-cube to travel back to the lab. I guess Wonmug has upgraded the cube and added a new teleportation feature but why they didn't use it to travel in the first place is, um, mysterious. Then Wonmug doesn't even bother to look at the "mysterious" - it is mysterious because it is, well, mysterious - letter and tosses it into the fire. The letter underneath the mail slot is somehow mysterious but the fire burning in the fireplace when nobody was home isn't mysterious. Maybe Joey doesn't quite have a grasp of what mysterious means. Had Doc bothered to look at the letter, though, he would have noticed that it was from the Nobel Prize Committee. Ha-ha, Doc; close but no cigar. But a little research shows that prize winners are notified by telephone rather than letter. Joey hates that when the real world gets in the way of one of her jokes.
