computer angel posted:I recall reading that Larson recieved quite a lot of criticism about this one from parents when it ran in the paper. It owns though, the look on the witch's face is priceless. My favorite part is that the parents are exasperated because the witch ate both kids, like one is understandable but eating both is just being greedy edit: amigolupus posted:Yeah, because 6-year-olds tell their mom they have sexy legs to cheer them up. Brooke seems like he's able to hide his grossness in classic 9CL, but then you get poo poo like this to remind you it's always been there the whole time. Not to defend Brooke, but Edda and Amos are about 13 years old, not 6 Sailor Cat fucked around with this message at 04:46 on May 29, 2020 |

Checked my copy of Prehistory Of The Far Side, and the stress on both was absolutely in the original, and integral to the joke - Larson found it hilarious that the parents are implying that eating only one kid would be bad, but eating both was way too far.

I forget why the human-universe counterpart danielle ended up in the animal universe, but going through the portal turned her into a rabbit, as it does. She eventually ended up falling in love with the person who'd fallen in love wit original danilelle, and they had a kid, which turned out to be human, because as safe havens shows, holbrook's lack of grasp on how genetics work is only rivaled by his grasp on how everything else ever works. tl;dr: no, you probalby didn't

while investigating a tax issue at a garbage dump she fell through the time portal set up by the birds of the future into the parallel world that kevin and kell live in and had her dna rewritten to match that of kevin's dead sister, her counterpart in that world, and after some drama decided to stay and marry a fox. it turns out that when you mix all the chromosomes of a human and a rabbit and a fox together in the abomination world then it just comes out a regular human, even though none of the animals know what that is since they were pre-genocided a million years in the past. you're welcome

Mämmilä![]() Midsummer, Juhannus, is a holiday held on a Saturday June 20.-26., with the preceding Friday also a day off. Here we see two notable ways of celebrating, the excellent combination of getting shitfaced and lighting up huge bonfires. The time-honored way to die on Juhannus, however, is to drown by falling off a boat with high BAC and your fly open. The original joke in the second panel is about how the driver can now take a ryyppy (a small drink of alcohol), to which a passenger quips that ryyppy (also a colloquial term for a choke valve) has been on for quite some time already. Kymi, Häme and Vaasa are old province names. It is never stated where exactly Mämmilä is, but it is most certainly within those. Song in the last panel is the Finnish version of Baccara's Yes Sir, I Can Boogie: Eini - Yes Sir, Alkaa Polttaa

See obviously this didn't happen with her baby cuz her DNA was used to weird hell world due to being there since she was a baby as opposed to arriving as an adult. Obviously. (Yes I am pulling this out of my rear end but I bet if you asked him, I'd not be far off)

There's a couple things I like to add. First, the original Danielle was George the fox's girlfriend, but got killed with the carrot gun protecting him. When Human Danielle tripped into Hellworld, he was the only one who knew she wasn't the original Danielle because he and the original used to make literal electrical sparks when they touched (because Holbrook loves using terrible visual metaphor). Danielle and George decide that she should prank him so he would hate her and he could move on with his life, except it only caused them to develop a spark for each other, because of course it loving does. At no point does anyone wonder why George was suddenly acting cold towards his supposed girlfriend. Or have George wonder if dating the exact duplicate of his dead girlfriend wasn't a little bit messed up. The second thing was that Holbrook used to have this stupid plotline where having humans in Hellworld upset the balance of the universe and caused animals lose their instincts MariusLecter posted:Just wait till Holbrook reveals the human time travels to the past of Kevin and Kell's hellworld and... well you can hazard guesses. Time travel already happened in Hellworld, when the Birdlluminati traveled back in time to create a branching timeline where they genocided the humans and prevented them from becoming the dominant species of the planet. Holbrook also illustrated the branching timelines like a DNA strand, because of course he does. amigolupus fucked around with this message at 16:38 on May 29, 2020 |
