Yeah. The guy who's writing the biggest environmentalist hero on the comics pages doesn't actually understand one of the most important environmental issues today.

And is apparently too lazy to actually look up the numbers before yapping about it.

Dude, even if you have your wedding in your parents' basement, you still have to take a minute to decide what to do with the decor. Even if you're like, "Nah, we don't need streamers or balloons and poo poo, the wood paneling, old video game consoles, my Che poster, and the spider webs will be a perfectly acceptable backdrop to my nuptials," you STILL have to figure out logistics and related furniture setup of where your guests will sit, where you'll stand, who's doing the ceremony, what all you'll be saying, which five of your old cds to have the stereo shuffle during the reception, and who's going to pick up the sheet cake from Wal-Mart.

Anything beyond just the two of you standing in front of a judge will take some planning. Quit being a dumb.

So I've always wondered, after that "Pluggers don't shut the gently caress up about their kids/grandkids" strip, why we don't see any of the kids. After this strip, though, I realized - the kids of the average Plugger couple would be loving horrifying. Thanks, Mr. Brookins.

I'm adding a new strip, in anticipation of Fritzi Ritz going all "Nancy" on me. I wanted something similar in tone, so I chose Matt Groening's "Life In Hell". Ages ago, I posted this strip as scans from a compilation book, but I wanted a newspaper source that would give as many strips as possible.

Life in Hell utilizes what Groening has referred to as "squint-o-vision," referring to tiny text, so apologizes for anything not legible.

wikipedia posted:

The strip featured anthropomorphic rabbits and a gay couple. Groening used these characters to explore a wide range of topics about love, sex, work, and death. His drawings were full of expressions of angst, social alienation, self-loathing, and fear of inevitable doom.
I think Groening owes quite a bit to Jules Feiffer.

Groening eventually went on to dabble in animated television comedies, none of which was successful.

The strip was published from 1977 to 2012 - my search picked up the strip in publication "The News," where it started running mid-1990. They even ran ads to promote it!



It was an instant hit with their sophisticated, urbane readers.
