Splorch.
I don’t know about you, but I *love* this strip. Powree drew the last panel just as I envisioned it in my head.
- Luna: We had to flee when the Red Devils lost control of our street to the White Brotherhood.
- Sandra: The White Brotherhood? There’s a group of neo-Nazis in Camden??
- Luna: No, it’s a “regular” gang.
- Sandra: And they call themselves White Brotherhood??
- Luna: Many myths and legends surround their name…
- Gang leader: Stop defiling my superior mayo with your impure ketchup, degenerate punk!

The funny/sad/ironic thing is that this has likely happened in this area.
Can somebody pick-up that phone? Because I called it!
That is… until the siracha clan took over.
It all ended with a terrible rat problem.
So I guess, that’s the Red Devils on the right side then?
Or are they more into red chili sauce?
And truth be told I’ve heard about a number of things that started gang wars. And the one in the last panel actually sounds more reasonable than some of them.
Six months later, they saw someone eating their bread butter side down, and promptly formed an alliance against their new foe. >:=P>
*sigh* It’s no more stupid than London’s postcode gangs…
Now I wonder if the whole turf war was over the choice of sauce?
and Luna’s family like ketchup better?
i am sure there is a joke in there about “catching” up on something, but i am too lazy to find it.
I wonder how Ye Thuza would react to that city. Because it seems like the ideal, inevitable, practice ground for her.
This is a hilarious way to make gang war rated PG13.
In a city in Chili….
Bottled in gang wars…..
Where gang members peppering each other with bullets….
And innocents praying for salsavation….
A man cumin to town….
And mustard make a decision….
To salt the earth clean….
And to give people something to relish on!

What’s the name of the ketchup gang?
@ AckAckAck
THAT was very jar-ring!
So the bad guys were given a dressing-down?
The escorted out to the Bay, and left in the Sea of Tartar?
Weird, my comment didn’t get posted up. Anyone else think that Luna is trolling Sandra?
Dang it, half of me wants to laugh at the gang joke, but you led us on a road of depression till this point. It’s supposed to be depressing, but… GYAH!
Throw in a little pickle relish and Cramer Hill will be deluged with thousand island dressing.
Beware the croutonsl….
That… is just perect
Let’s give a big hand to Powre and Novil!
Mayo??? Bleh…
That’s a real dressing down for that rival gang. Next, it’s BLT’s at ten paces.
“What even…” is the only valid way to react to this.
In a part of Germany fries red-white is very popular. 😉
No gang fight about dressing there. 🙂
Who even puts mayo on chips? Who!?

Interestingly enough in Utah there is a popular condiment called fry sauce that is made by mixing mayo and ketchup.
@ discipleofhoid:
That means both gangs then have to rumble with the Fry Sauce Furies.
Sorry, but…that is a brotherhood I could join. Mayo rules ketsup drools like a crack baby.
I do, got a problem bub? (squints) you look like wunna dem r’devils…

ewwww, mayo on french fries
eewewwwww *gets shot*
Now I’m really curious to just what kind of gang signs these condiment gangsters make…
*Keechp killa*
@ AckAckAck: I put Frank’s hot sauce on my fries but that’s only after I’ve goosed it up with Naga Jolokia (ghost peppers). I’ve tried Sriracha on them but it lacks the mildly sour tang of Frank’s. The only side effect is that I can’t kiss my wife for at least an hour afterward. She hates hot and spicy food. I forgot once and she nearly killed me! 😀
I was visiting my cousin in Salt Lake City in Utah once. Two gangs saw the same frog on the curb of the intersection and went to go pick him up. When they ran into each other they started yelling about who would get to look at the frog first. I even heard one say “You mothafuckas got to see the baby squirrel first last week! It’s our turn!” I called the cops once a few started showing knives, but it was hard to keep from laughing throughout the whole ordeal.
Also friendly reminder that comic #666 will be on the birthday of both Mitt Romney and Ron Jeremy, so maybe you work one of them into the strip Novil? (Yes I will mention this every other strip until then)
Also sorry for the triple comment but I just now realized that the guy is wearing jersey #82, my fav number
Having lived in Camden, I am finding this arc most amusing.
@ Luke:
I’ve seen a good number of Filipinos who like mixing their ketchup and mayo together.
Long ago, the gangs in Camden lived together in harmony.Then, everything changed when the White Brotherhood attacked.
The last strip was downright depressing. This strip is probably the perfect set-up for a comedy.
I must say, great job bring in those two emotions.
As for mixing mayo and ketchup, I think that’s how we make thousand-island.
@ Luke:
I do. I like to put both ketchup and mayo on them and stir it all together until it turns pink. Yum.
@ Connorses:
Don’t knock it, ’till you try it.
@ Luke:
I prefer tartar sauce. If there is no vinegar, that is.

That’s popular in many parts of the US, not just Utah. Though in some places, sweet pickle relish is also mixed in.
Personally, I can’t stand the stuff.
Ooookayyyy
Just reminds me of this .-.

So the white gang was better for the people of the neighborhood than the black gang? IS THAT WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO SAY?
OMG, this strip is so stupid! Everyone knows that mayonnaise is the devil’s dressing!
@ NotASpy:
I prefer the green gang…. https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/v/t1.0-9/556460_350694194998420_1530123448_n.jpg?oh=07c8fd03d77859146f2929e21c3ebe4e&oe=5527342A&__gda__=1432541820_3d08008b6b71726d5b779b409e7d73c0

What a waste of perfectly good mayo, getting it all over ketchup, he should’ve mixed it with mustard.
@ Coolclaytony:
Damnit I had it backwards. Now that I know what I’m talking about… It’s probably for the best the WB took dominion over RD territory, they seem fairly less dangerous and have a refined taste in condiments.
We call that combination “fry sauce” where I’m from. Throw in just a dash of BBQ sauce and it’s nice and tasty.
