If you had a step-dad in the 90s, there's a 100% chance they drank coffee every morning out of a Far Side mug. My step-dad's was, "Bummer of a birthmark, Hal."

Powered Descent posted:Historical context on this storyline: the very first Space Shuttle mission, STS-1, would launch only a few days after these strips ran, on April 12. I think Breathed probably hoped for it to line up exactly, but due to publication delays and such, he had to guess at the exact timing and hope for the best. He still got pretty dang close. Huh, neat. I learned something. Bloom County April 11th & 13th, 1981 ![]() ![]()

Gloomy Rube posted:WHY ARE THE MAGIC PLAYERS USING D20s? I'm more bothered by the lack of space. The D&D game is incredibly cramped, the MtG table is already full and the game's just started, and even the chess players don't have anywhere to put captured pieces.

I don't want to make a habit of defending Funky Winkerbean but I'm just imagining what that same setup would look like if Working Daze tried to draw it, and at least Batuik put in an effort.

He's only 45? With the way the characters are drawn, I thought the grown-ups are in their 60s. It's nitpicky, but it bugs me how Batiuk used the word gamers rather than players, or how he spelled out Dungeons and Dragons rather than sticking to abbreviations like D&D and MtG. It's like Batiuk wants people to think he's a huge fan of nerd hobbies and comic book shops, but the little details he missed makes his effort ring rather hollow. Julet Esqu posted:Time for a little unsubtle character assassination! I'm baffled as to why Team Evans has been trying to character assassinate Bets for so long. Is it because of racism? Or do they hate Bets for being female and assertive? If they didn't even care about Bets at all, then they could have just made her turn down Gunther after their first date. She even had the perfect excuse of thinking Gunther and Luann were a thing, because Luann kept sticking her nose in their date. Jesus loving christ, Holbrook! ![]() Shapeshifters in fiction usually have some rules to them, like how they can't transform into a functioning complex machinery, or how they can't exceed the capabilities of the thing they're copying. Holbrook just broke both of those rules, and just removed any possible tension to be had with stories involving these stupid dodos.
