And yet another chance to underline how utterly nonsensical this plot was, because the story to this point was about a woman in labor and the hallucinations struck a nun who was just standing off to one side.

Meanwhile, this is new, not having to wait all night for the GoComics updates.

I think we had 6 channels at least where I grew up. In addition to the big three and PBS, there were a couple local stations that mostly showed old movies and syndicated shows. Those channels later became Fox and eventually (after becoming UPN or WB or whatever) things like the CW.
When I was a young child in central Victoria we only had two channels. How I envied my cousins from Melbourne who had six. Surely with six channels there would always be something good to watch?

Is that it? Is that how we're ending this? :what:

My kidnapped daughter violently destroyed every object in her room, retreated to her reddit basement, and does a Rorschach's-journal monologue whenever we try to speak to her. This is fine. Better give her some space, I'm sure she'll work it all out by age sixty or so.

Take It From the Tinkersons


For all its sins, I think the thing I hate most about Take It From The Tinkersons is its slavish devotion to a four-panel format even when its clumsy attempts at humor could be better conveyed in only two or three panels. Just look at how the timing of this strip improves with the third panel removed:



Anyway, here are some comics that suck less:

Something really subtle about this is that a lesser comic would have the unicorn be real gently caress dumb and legitimately freaking out in the last panel, but Phoebe and Her Unicorn always presents every character on essentially equal footing making jokes with each other and enjoying each other's company.

It's a good comic. :unsmith:

For a manager to actually come out and say that would be definite grounds for a lawsuit, wouldn't it?
I get strangely mad when Piraro doesn't have any "hidden" items. Usually they're so blatantly obvious I don't see any reason to ever not include them. I mean often it's just like an eyeball in the corner so why couldn't he have had a k2 in the woman's hair here or something?

Looks that way. I have to say, it's a bit lame. There has been pretty much zero conflict other than that one time Zac's friends made fun of Iris for dressing to nicely for the concert. Besides that they've just been having a lot of fun, and Iris hasn't even seemed too preoccupied about the age difference.

I wonder if sometimes the syndicate people tell the writer to abort a story they aren't liking even though it's already started before it completely runs its course. Maybe Moy had something else in mind.
