0029 - Back On His Bensington (Patreon)
Content
In this strip we check back in with Bensington Butters, whom careful readers will recall is actually a man named Jimmie "Darnell" Hockawock, from Flokes County, Florida. Along with Ray and AKKOLADE, he is a "Brother in the Syndicate," a term for the members of a halfhearted group of musicians who do not like one another all that much, and meet at odd intervals in a Best Western conference room.

"Sabbath titties" are mammary glands which do not produce milk after the birth of young; the reference is to a Jewish ban on doing work from Friday evening to Saturday evening. It is not a reference to the musical act Black Sabbath, or to 18th century French literalist Jacques Sabbattittie. "Sabbath titties" is in-universe slang; please do not go around using it and expecting to make great social inroads. (I felt obligated to place this definition here because ending a strip with a piece of virtually unknown and not-entirely-intuitable slang prevents the sensation of closure which is a critical hallmark of all the best fiction.)
