I like that Mildred is getting more unhinged as this story goes.


The Dinette Set is a natural musician.


Working Daze is a bad time-related joke.


Super-Fun-Pak Comix is a good time-related joke.

One of my least favorite running Funky Winkerbean bits — amazingly, I do have a hierarchy — is jokes at the school that are set up by the teacher saying “Can anyone tell me [fairly obscure fact X]” in a way that really seems to strongly imply that the students have never encountered fact X in their curriculum, but he’s mad at them for not knowing the answer anyway, because it’s their fault they don’t know the name of, for instance, random Kuiper Belt objects off the top of their head. Anyway, did you know that this particular Kuiper Belt object isn’t even called Ultima Thule anymore? Science teacher dude whose name I forget hates kids, hates teaching, doesn’t keep up with his field of study, and probably should look into retiring as soon as possible, is what I’m saying.

No, see, the "Th" in "Thule" is pronounced "T", so the wiseass student is performing a jape at the expense of his teacher by taking a commonly known word that start with "Th" and also pronouncing it "T" in order to mock...I don't know, the fact that words with similar letters can be pronounced differently?

This was worth the hassle of taking a non-joke that only works when spoken aloud and translating it into text because

I find it oddly reassuring that Batuik is literally just cribbing obscure factoids from old books he has lying around the house to act smug about how much smarter he is than kids these days.

When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.


In today's Corto Maltese: How 're you gonna keep them Abbas down on the farm fortress, after they've seen Paree New York?, or Rasputin is a deep sleeper, or Corto? What are you doing here in Uzbekistan? I thought you were in Iran?

One thing Always Sunny showed us is that if you're going to make your character an rear end in a top hat, you at least have to make them funny or charming. I think that's what Zelda is missing.

Without that I'd have thought he was talking about the metaphorical Ultima Thule -- the farthest frontier, beyond what we know, here there be dragons, etc.
