On Today's Alley Oop - 25 May 2021

Everything in the retooled Alley Oop is used to tee up for the big joke in the final panel. In this case, today's laugh is that the Doc and his two assistants are going to have to transport 100 million Chrabs back to Universe #7. Excuse me, the bigger laugh is that it is 100 million minus one since the only Chrab named Linda passed away. Does this work as a joke? Not really. We've seen the extent of Chrab City which is just a couple of clam shells. They might be able to house 100 Chrabs as Doc originally assumed but nowhere near 100 million. And the Queen could hardly be aware, or want to be aware of, a single Chrab except maybe if it was a close relative. So it's a double failure and anybody "hearting" this would have to have a brain of mush. (Alley Oop's crying for Linda in the final panel is behavior that has become so predictable.)
