StrixNebulosa posted:I am frustrated that these boys completely missed that Eminem is trailer trash, the kind of poor white boy who lived the same hardship black folks in the ghetto suffered. It's not quite the same without the institutional racism, but it's about as close as you can get while being white. The point isn't that Eminem didn't have it rough. But that he's controversial rhymes are hollow while Chuck D's controversial rhymes are controversial because he speak about politics.

If you're going to poo poo on a white rapper from Metro Detroit, Kid Rock is a far better target.Transmodiar posted:Scary Go Round: The Great Unboxing I'm still not sure how I feel about Fit Mum being a stripper, it's a little hacky tbh. The stuff with Erin however is comedy gold.

You can tell John Allison was starting to struggle writing the story around this point. One thing that bugged me was how he had Mildred and Linton (especially Linton) give up on being part of the Wentack group. Linton's role in the last few stories has always been "the horny one", so it made me glad that he got some more characterization in this story. I realize Allison made Linton and Mildred step down because he wanted the story to focus more on the new Mystery Kids, but it was still a bit disappointing.

I’ll be real disappointed honestly if it turns out to be emphysema or something if not COVID. Like I know being disappointed by Rex Morgan is something to expect but it’s a major cock-up when a comic that’s ostensibly about a doctor has less to say about the biggest public health crisis of this century than friggin’ *Curtis*.

In their hubris an incompetence, the hunting party shot their tracker dog instead of their main prize, the lone and endangered wolf. I think this was kind of Mämmilä's point of view, traditionalism versus modern influence and the change of times in general. I loved Mämmilä as a kid; the real town Mämmilä is based on (Orivesi) of this is not far from where I live. I connected with the kids in the comics when I originally read them, but now when I am older, I understand the viewpoints from the adults in this much more, and the small town politics are all too real even today. Mämmilä was a great series of comics, there is much more in store, keep following certain characters that have been already established here.

It is, and it's also where Dharma briefly retired between the Chief Dharma comic and the Boss Dharma comic. At first I thought she was just telling him to go to Jeju and he was overdramatically interpreting this as her telling him to retire again but then I noticed she specifically said he was going to the branch office, not Jeju in general.

Do any helicopters even have the range to do the wartime crossing via Iceland? They're not built for intercontinental travel.
