I assume it’s the idea that the kangaroo will keep on jumping and his head will bop up and down to watch it doing so. What’s less clear about that tho is why he’d have to look at it like that. So if anyone has any other idea, go for it.

He sprained his neck while walking his dog. Unable to look down he somehow accepted a leash belonging to a kangaroo. What a mix up!

How To Read 9 Chickweed Lane![]() 4. Variations on a theme. 1. Subtext. Petey Otterloop's finely curated collection of personality quirks. Charlie Brown reminding us that "goat' isn't necessarily an acronym for "Greatest Of All Time". The infinite possibilities of Calvinball. Boyzendorgz. Nancy eating food. There's nothing inherently wrong with variations on a theme, and in serialized storytelling--especially on a sitcom level--familiarity breeds content. As a Juliard-trained musician, the creator of 9 Chickweed Lane would be intimately familiar with the concept, and as a writer of comic strips, he has--or, at some point in the rapidly retreating past, had--a repertoire of themes. Maybe the theme pool was shallower than some creators, but at times the variations had the potential to go wide. At least that's the past I've built up in my imagination. But that was then, and this is now. 2. Text. The current theme is new love, the variation being of the May-December variety, and because McEldowney's current methodology with his themes is to pull up a stool and milk it incessantly, it's difficult to remember if the strip was ever about anything else. In total isolation, today's installment might seem cute, almost adorable. But here we go again, with our object permanence and whatnot (my emphasis here): That drat interview again posted:TCC: How are each of your romantic relationships different? Which goes a long way towards explaining why all the couples who make up the cast feel so interchangeable. Their motivations, like their vocabularies, are synchronized, and they really should be different. People are complicated and weird, and every love story shouldn't be an effortless slide into a tangled hand ballet that would make Burr Tillstrom gnash his teeth. But once Edda figured out a new way to cure Amos's hiccups, the die was cast, and by the time Edie Ernst entered into the excruciatingly long summer of her German soldier, the future was etched in stone. Whether any of this fits comfortably into a general audience newspaper is up for debate...and sometimes inspiration for direct action. Moral: If you're milking your cash cow by hand, make sure to alternate your udders. Any other approach will lead to chafing. (And now, the other bits that you actually wanted to read.)

Magna Kaser posted:seitan is sorta like tofu where it's super loving bland on it's own. maybe like a poached chicken breast or something? How Wonderful! posted:It's not that appetizing right when you're making it or if you buy it premade. It's kind of like if raw chicken was grey and came in a big round clump. However much like tofu it picks up flavor amazingly well, with the difference that it doesn't absorb quite so much moisture so it's much less of a headache to marinate it. Thanks for the tips! Yeah, I'm not really fond of tofu, but with enough extra on there it's fine (my dad makes a fantastic sweet and sour tofu) so I figured going for wings or something with a sauce like that would be a good first outing with it. We just went shopping, but it's on the list for next time. As someone who graduated a long time ago and is still completely hosed, woof.

LazyQ posted:Mämmilä This rules. There's a real sense of sifting through what's been left behind and finding a way to save everyone. It's realistic and optimistic. I love these two dorks. Thanks for posting this. Hostile V posted:[tired sighs] is dethany going to find the missing fortune in the broken toilet in the warehouse. is that where this is going. You gotta love how she immediately abandons her still-tied up fiancee in favor of finding treasure that'd make her abusive boss even richer. Come to think of it, if her boss was a Dick Tracy villain then Dethany would make the perfect goon. Blindly loyal, does the dirty work without any consideration for her well-being, and will never double-cross you out of the loot.
