Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Lynn Johnston, winner of the 2005 Subtle As A Chainsaw Award for the most egregious and heavy-handed display of foreshadowing since "God himself could not sink this ship, nyer nyer nyer!!!"

And she accomplishes it in such a... ARGH ARGH ARGH. There's like a zillion ways to reveal that policeman's name for the punchline (look at all the space she had in the second panel!) and she picked the absolute worst one.

Next week I fully expect her to draw the policeman with an arrow pointing to him that says "HEY I THINK HE'LL BECOME ROMANTICALLY ENTANGLED WITH ELIZABETH, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?"

Ah, spleen, thou hast been full-vented.

Tell me about it. If I'd known about this before, I'd never have let him move in.

If you read the Detroit Free Press, it can't be helped. It's right up at the top of the full-color page so you can't avoid scanning it on your way to Get Fuzzy or Calvin & Hobbes (reruns). I mean, if I'm careful I can avoid reading Judge Parker at the bottom of the inside page, but you open up the comics and FBoFW just smacks you in the eye and your brain interprets the text whether you will it or no.
