Perhaps you have not been to the *Playground*.
The *Playground* is for Taalo and for Orz, but *Campers* can go.
It more fun than several.
You can go there for too much fun.

I loving love Holbrooke because he has a vague understanding of things that are bad and generally

generally

seems in favor of that bad stuff being bad but also puts absolutely zero thought into anything he does. :words: these rabbit hormones alone have been used as:
-trans metaphor
See... He doesn't realize he did this. He introduced the character who loving hates rabbits disguising herself as a not-rabbit and working at a company that hunts and kills rabbits (among other things) for food much earlier than the actual attempt at doing trans issues with the wolf who got an operation to be an herbivore.

He puts almost no thought into stuff he's introducing and never seems to really re-think old stuff like that. Which is why he's got all those things about your "cyberspace avatar" in On The Fast Track or whatever they call it. That's some like, 90s loving poo poo.

Keeping Up with the Joneses, from 1920. 88 cents for a dozen eggs was considered blatantly and ridiculously expensive.

The thing that trips me is that Jams' slapdash storytelling is making Rusty into a terrible enabler. Any decent writer would've had Rusty comfort the kid, or tell him people do want him and invite him to sleep in his tent instead. You know, do anything to stop a little kid from stomping off into a forest alone without any goddamn adult supervision.

Ah, but you are forgetting that Rusty is extremely stupid.

The most Holbrook thing I can imagine happening is that Guy becomes a cop because he can't find a different job, and he ends up being happy and treats being a cop as a good thing.


It's really lovely when someone goes "You can't be more [X] than me, I was doing it longer than you!" It's invalidating someone else's opinions for a really stupid reason.

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: Corto reminds the Commissar that in this game of poker that is life, he's not been given the chance to raise, or Turns out Corto doesn't just have a full house, or a Royal flush but five-of-a-kind, especially if you know who he's talking to on the other end, or Looks like Marianne is more than just some simple, jingoistic representation after all. Maybe the same could have been said of John Bull? ... After having spent a reasonable time reflecting on that hypothetical; no.

So which comic has more contempt for its titular main character? Dustin or Funky Winkerbean?

Vox Valentine

Solving all of life's problems through enhanced casting of Occam's Razor. Reward yourself with an imaginary chalice.

Funky has zero contempt for its protagonist, Les Moore.

In all seriousness it really doesn't have any contempt for most characters, they just smugly wander around having mundane white people problems and occasionally windfalls.

Dustin.

Funky has basically been winning the life lottery ever since Lisa died (which is a really twisted thing when you think about it). And even then, it was life being unfair to Funky. Back in the classic days he had a bully, but that was one guy.

Dustin has people actively making choices to poo poo on Dustin at every opportunity, and he hasn't done anything to really earn that hatred. OK, yes, he is arguably a bad employee when he does get a job and that you could pin on him. But being unable to find stable employment, and being unable to get a date are things beyond his control.

I'm usually OK with Dustin's sister giving him crap. Siblings can be like that. It's that his father—the physical manifestation of old white male privilege—does nothing but pile on that I have a problem. Also when he is inexplicably cruelly shot down by every single woman he approaches in what appears to be a completely polite and healthy manner.
