In this installment of Keeping Up With the Joneses, Aloysius faces judicial corruption. Inflation calculators tell us that a $10 fine in 1920 would be about $130 today, but that doesn't say anything about what 40mph in 1920 would feel like today.

Vargo posted:Adam The other part of this storyline that really bugs me is that she's reading a book at all. Kids don't like reading books, and the Godfather specifically is a book that's not very easy to find. It's famous mainly for being a movie. Which any halfway clever kid could find on the Internet pretty easily just because it's old. Contrast this with that Boondocks from awhile back where we find out that Riley has a Scarface videotape he religiously watches. Same basic premise, except that it's something a kid would actually do and Mcgruder had enough sense to only make one extremely solid joke out of it instead of stretching the premise out for a full week. But most glaringly, the Boondocks strip is from twenty years ago. So it's incredibly weird that it's aged perfectly well save for the VHS reference whereas this Adam storyline feels like it was written back in the seventies.

Kids don't... Like reading??? I spent my LIFE reading as a child, from 10 to 22. Before then, I read a book a day from 3 (I learned early because my mom hates reading and I was determined to do it). Some kids adore reading! Especially strange little girls.

Samovar posted:Ooh, what was the podcast? Rycon Roleplays - Z-Land. Youtube channel instead of a podcast but you don't need the visuals at all, I would listen to it while playing solitaire or cook serve delicious 3. It's a grimdark as hell zombie survival thing that was really scratching the itch I was having, but then in chapter five the group gets captured and I cannot handle dealing with that lost of agency. I'd like to skip ahead, but there are no plot recaps anywhere (beyond the short one for season one) and aaghhh. I was really invested in this group too, so I might have to drop it and whine whine whiiiine. Lots of tossing and turning in bed last night agonizing over this.

This was almost my exact experience as well, except I got my copy at a used bookstore when my mom wasn't paying attention to what I was buying. Then I wrote a few entries about it in our reading journal for English class and my teacher tried to politely suggest a 12 year old shouldn't be reading that kind of book, lol. Point being, if you're a weird little kid who wants to look "grown-up" like I did, it's usually way easier to get and read a book than watch a movie.

Same here, to the point when I got grounded, rare as it was, it was to not read books for so many weeks. Most kids lost the TV. Of course I got around that by just not taking recess and reading in the school library. And when it was my own stuff, mostly Stephen King and poo poo.

I think the Godfather plot-line is pretty believable. I don't know exactly how old the kid is supposed to be but when I was roughly around that little kid age I got in trouble because I knew my mom really loved reading Interview With a Vampire and I snuck it off the shelf to read myself. I tried the same shenanigans a little bit later with The Exorcist because my parents owned two copies and I thought that meant it had to be good, but it was too scary and I put it down pretty quick. Anyway how about some Saturday morning Dykes to Watch Out For: #36 (1988) ![]() I think the strip curtadams provided yesterday adds a little texture and nuance to this one. I guess that in a sense it's just Mo running around town talking to different people about somebody else's problems but sheesh if DtWOF isn't about gossip and how people in a community tell stories I don't know what it is about. I also like how both this one and the one with Lois have Mo getting provoked into a berserker frenzy or something, which lets Bechdel draw her in some pretty funnily exaggerated poses. I think the last three panels are really great, Bechdel's a super good artist and it's nice to see her getting better and better knowing stuff like Fun Home is on the distant horizon. Anyway the hole in the ozone was discovered over the Antarctic in 1985 and was very quickly recognized by some people as a huge problem and very permanently recognized by other people with more money as not a problem at all. Environmentalism predates popular consciousness of the hole in the ozone but it was a pretty big flashpoint for just general collective consensus. Harriet has The Nation on her bedside table. The Nation was founded in in 1865, as a successor to William Lloyd Garrison's previous paper, The Liberator, which had shut down because it had been all about agitating for abolition and abolition happened. The Nation was intended as a similar strident mouthpiece but for a broader political and social program. It was in the 80s and remains today a respectable outlet for mostly mainstream progressivism, foreshadowing a little bit the trajectory Mo and Harriet are on.
