Did they ever do a storyline where someone takes advantage of the Unknown Commander's anonymity to hijack part or all of the Jungle Patrol? Who am I kidding, if they did it ended with them being found downriver with a skull mark on their jaw.

That there's no love or feeling to it and thus it's reprehensible to her. But I still can't help but laugh over her "Oh no, sex with a hot guy! How awful!"

Addams and Evil - 1947    This one cracked me up when I got old enough. Made no sense at all when I was a kid.   I'm betting this is Snow-Woman kid.  This is the only line-art piece I've ever seen Addams do.

I'm better appreciating through this run of Bad Machinery how the character designs all change extremely subtly between stories to mark the passage of time/puberty. In that context the new designs in the new story aren't really that out there, if we just assume there were a couple years' worth of subtle character design changes we didn't see.

I blame you for this discovery, Elysiume. https://safehavenscomic.tumblr.com/ According to wikipedia, which is almost certainly maintained by Holbrook himself. "Roger - Roger has been practising to become a mascot his entire life. Rarely seen outside of costume, he was the mascot of the Havens High School Fighting Personal Digital Assistants (the team used to be called the Lions until a "contribution" from a high-tech firm resulted in the name change). Roger takes his mascot role incredibly seriously, communicating entirely through the costume's screen display. Roger's face has never been shown since he is always wearing some sort of full-body costume. Even in the day care, he wore a box, and then made it into a television costume. He is on the mission to Mars as the Main Computer interface." Family Circus  Rose is Rose  One Big Happy  Foob  Compu-Toon  Bizarro

So I had to make a point of wearing jeans almost all the time since otherwise he would just cut right through the fabric and start scratching me.

Transmodiar posted:Modesty Blaise For those (like me) who didn't get the reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Four_Just_Men_(novel) Wikipedia posted:He had to create his own publishing company, Tallis, to publish it and decided to manage a 'guess the murder method' competition in the Daily Mail with a prize of £1,000 (equivalent in purchasing power to at least £93,000 in 2013). Wallace intended to advertise the book on an unprecedented scale, not just in Britain itself but across the Empire. He approached the proprietor, Lord Harmsworth for the loan of the £1,000 and was promptly refused, but Wallace pressed ahead anyway. His alarmed workmates at the Mail prevailed upon him to lower the prize money to £500: a £250 first prize, £200 second prize and £50 third prize, but were unable to restrain him in the privacy of his home. Wallace had advertisements placed on buses, hoardings, flyers, and so forth, running up an incredible bill of £2,000. Though he knew he needed the book to sell sufficient copies to make £2,500 before he saw any profit, Wallace was confident that this would be achieved in the first three months of the book going on sale, hopelessly underestimating the expenses.

Aaah, there's the angle. Kelley got kicked out of the library. Libraries are moving on from the "silence at all times" bit. A popular new model especially for public libraries is to have them as a place of public gathering and exchange; still in an educational context, of course, but they do try to set aside some space for people to have conversations, do projects and so on. That being said: they're still also places for study and research. And not every library will have the budget or architectural freedom to provide "loud" areas that aren't "the outside." Reshelving policy is very much up to the individual library and both patrons or staff doing it have their minor advantages and disadvantages, in the grand scheme it's low priority. Food and drink: I absolutely guarantee you you'd rather deal with the slight inconvenience of taking your snacks outside than with the cost of replacing a book you got a chocolate smear on or that got soaked in coffee when you accidentally elbow checked your cup. (Not that a flimsy lid on the cup is going to help you much. I've seen libraries insist on screw-top bottles only.) Incidentally, one reason the library might not want patrons to reshelve the books is so the staff can check them for damage. It's not that the job doesn't attract its fair share of rules-obsessed old spinsters. However, the library and library books are in a sense the common property of a community, and it comes as absolutely no surprise that Kelley feels a disdain for that concept that manifests in reducing the processes that are in place to maintain and govern the common property to a hair-bunned matron figure with a chip on her shoulder. What a strange position to take, too, when you've made your wise adult identification character a lawyer.

You're not missing the joke. I've only ever heard the altered phrase and didn't realize there was an original one, because apparently this joke has been around so long it turned into its own epigram at some point.
