maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



:lol: i'm not sure what's funnier - that les altered the record of events so that nobody would know he slept with his wife while his daughter was in the house, or how the juxtaposition of "who could resist that siren's song" with "nope" suggests he was sitting through the auditions expecting to pop a boner.

I continue to really enjoy seeing old Boondocks because holy poo poo a lot of it didn't age well at ALL.

e: And I mean - it's weird. I'll be more lenient with strips that are over a hundred years old for not aging well, but I'll rag on one from twenty years ago because it's not psychic. I guess it's because it feels like 2000 is close enough that they should've known better.

Out of curiosity, was the Boondocks cartoon any better than the strip?

The funny thing is that it would have been so easy to interweave the original panels here, which would have a great effect (except for the whole "the comic sucked then too" thing, of course), but he was too lazy to do that obvious thing.

The classical Freudian anal sadistic character in its purest form.
The Boondocks cartoon is extremely, extremely variable. Many aspects have not aged well.

Even if you're not finishing your noodles in your sauce in the pan, dumping the sauce in the pot is a tried-and-true way to keep your kids from fighting over who got more sauce. Then all that's left to fight over is who got more shaky cheese.

A lot of th etime the fighting is more, I don't want sauce it's yucky. They just want spaghetti and ketchup.

I'm torn between really dig Ye Olde Phantom costume and puzzling over the idea of not mixing the sauce in the pan.

Do you have like, a sauce bowl? That you spoon out?

Usually we don't bother mixing, but the sauce is just in the sauce pan and left on the turned off stove. We cook most of our sauces in a wide and deep stainless pan like this, just get a ladle. We never actually put the food in serving dishes on the table, you go to the stove and get your food, then to the table.



What we tend to do is put the pasta in the sauce pan later and mix it all up, then put the whole sauce pan in the fridge. Then I use the leftovers to make lunch for work the next morning, and perhaps the morning after.

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: Stop all this blathering about particle physics, gang, can't you see that the house is on fire?!?!?!?, or Nationalism is all very confusing, doubly so when it involves diasporas of people living in other countries, or Slavin is causin' a little trouble...

The Boondocks comic was extremely variable even at the time. It spent a lot of time mocking C+ TV and pop stars who I barely even knew about as I had better things to do than watch bad TV. The political bothsiderism is absurd now that we've seen what Bush did to our country (and others), but even at the time it got silly. But sometimes McGruder could really hit it out of the park, and it did seem really fresh amidst all those stale Caucasian-American legacy strips on the comics page. Part of the problem was likely that McGruder famously found it very difficult to make a joke every day, so he fell back on cheap shots.

I know what I'm about.
The Boondocks has some great episodes and some okay ones. I just remember the lemonade stand episode, though, because it made me furious when I was younger. I used to think it was a little over the top but then I read an amitheasshole post the other day from a mom who called the cops on a kid running a lemonade stand in her neighborhood and it turns out people really are that evil.

He is expecting someone who looks and acts exactly like Lisa even off camera, isn't he? If anyone met his "standard" he would probably instantly start mega creeping on the poor woman.

I haven't liked TinkMom for a while but this is the first time where I've been viscerally angry at her. Jesus Christ you're cutting off your kid's access to her friends (and given how often she's online I'm 100% convinced she's like me and didn't have IRL friends at that age) and lying about it.
