Even when it's being topical, Curtis still avoids saying that it's COVID-19 it's talking about. :lol:

What the gently caress kind of name is Lolly? Holly, Molly--there are other rhyming names. Also you don't have to rhyme them, and if I had twins I sure as hell wouldn't. Those kids would grow up to kill me.

If it's short for Lolita so help me I'll loving explode.

If you're looking for the word for someone with a medical degree who manipulates the spine without surgery, the answer is "osteopathic physician" or "osteopath."

Osteopathy is "alternative medicine". Osteopaths aren't doctors.

It differs by country. In the US, the difference between a D.O. and an M.D. is minimal in terms of credentialing and nonexistent in terms of practice rights. I don't know what the situation is in South Korea.

note that the difficulty of becoming an osteopathic physician and widespread acceptance of it does not translate into medical acumen or effectiveness in the practising of alternative medicine, nor does it confer upon them the medical degree that is commonly understood by the word "doctor" any more than an archaeologist would substitute for one simply because they also spent four years on doctorate in bones.

I hate McEldowny's comics more than Luann or Holbrooks comics.

Luann is usually mundane and out of touch. But it doesn't revolve entirely around a creepy old man's fetishes.

Holbrooks comics feel like a creepy old man's fetishes, but his comics also work as unintentional criticisms of modern-day capitalism and center-left politics.

McEldowny's comics are usually mundane, out of touch, they revolve around his fetishes, and there's no way to read the comic as anything other than "what is Brooke getting off to this year?"

According to the Luann wiki (I want to die now, knowing that exists):

quote:

after Tiffany, in a panic, almost got Luann and herself drowned by trying to push Luann down to keep herself afloat

quote:

She showered him with attention, until she used him to steal Gunther's test paper so she could copy the answers. She got caught in the act and charmed Miguel into taking the blame, and claiming he stole it so she could get the answers, even though he had been tricked into it.

I can't help but note that whoever wrote the wiki really wants you to remember Tiffany's sins.

Brooke's comics are just so gross and heavily pretentious, and I still feel uncomfortable at all those repeated "6-year-old Edda fixates on the details of sex" strips.

The main theme in Keeping Up with the Joneses is social climbing. Momand never heard the phrase "fake it 'til you make it", but if he had, he would have completely understood.

Note the throwaway gag where Pa McGinis compares the canals of Venice to the Erie Canal.
