If they were trying, this could be the attempt to prove to herself that she's too old for him so she doesn't feel so bad for breaking it off. Then she could mope back to wait around for sandwiches mctimebender and be all sad and tell Mary about how seeing Dawn all gotho and miffed just made it so obvious how he was too young for her. Then Mary could maybe do some meddling worth talking about.

...and the pitch! posted:Whenever a comic strip shits on art critics it makes me think they have a chip on their shoulder. The Evanses have indulged in a lot of it as well. They probably do. I'm biased, but I can't think of another career path that simultaneously involves putting yourself out there in an extremely personal way while also being the focus of very pointed, sometimes brutal, criticism from both your teachers and peers, than any of the various Arts. And when I say "brutal", I mean things like "I don't think this is working at all, you should just start over with a fresh idea" (after spending a month on a project), or "your subject matter lacks depth" (said subject matter being something you're passionate about). When you feel like you're struggling to "get it", and a professional gets praised for placing a spotlight on an inner tube, it's hard NOT to get a bit jaded about the whole thing. Especially so when you meet or work with a professional and are straight up advised that schmoozing is part of being recognized. Not that I really want to defend the Evanses at all, but just give some anecdotal insight. Everyone I have ever known who went to school for some kind of creative field has "that guy": someone who refuses to listen to their critiques, who insists that's just their style or how the teacher just hates them. They always vanish before Junior year and I used to wonder what happens to them. Now I know: they become cartoonists. (Sorry if that got wordy; Luann has become my favorite hate-read because it's like this delusional fantasy version of my own experiences of college)

The Classic Dinette Set is in a hurry here. Working Daze is back, and with three days lead time this is the best they could come up with.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix is in a world of it's own.  Oh, and Working Daze is trying to make Roy's twitter a thing. This is the reason the comic didn't do anything over the weekend: https://twitter.com/WorkingDaze_Roy/status/822820796787785728 That's not ironic, it's just unfortunate!

Tiggum posted:Iris is what, 50? 55? I don't think she's over 50 yet. I think she's more mid- to late-40s. Tommy is 25 (as is Zak). I think she had him young though, which is part of why she's going back to school now, so I would put that happening sometime around 20. It is possible she was younger than 20, but certainly she wouldn't have been under 18 in the Worthiverse. So, ~43/44 at the absolute minimum (and unlikely), and let's say 48 at the oldest. That's my theory.

^^I'm thinking the big bucket looking thing is some sort of trashcan liner, and he's just dumping his garbage straight into the can, which will presumably be more difficult to empty/clean later? I'm wondering if disposable garbage bags weren't a big thing in 1955. Phantom Classic  Radio Patrol  Rip Kirby  Big Ben Bolt  He recovered quickly.

I was sick with the flu yesterday, so here's the double-up on these comics. Baldo  Sooo... Gracie doesn't have a middle name? And since this strip doesn't tell us what Chita Rivera actually does and thinks the name thing is more important, she is a musical theater actress: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chita_Rivera  Big Nate   Wizard of Id   Curtis decides we need to spend more time with the worst character in Curtis:   Wallace The Brave, as a palate cleanser, introduces us to a new use for Spud's big dumb bucket head:
