Selachian posted:"Little Willie" jokes were still popular back in the 1910s, and if you've got a morbid sense of humor, well worth looking up. I'm in love with this person's site and unless anybody else wants to I might post a few of the "Ruthless Rhymes for Martial Militants" by Nelson Harding later this week. I think they'd be a really apt companion piece for DtWOF. Like: (2/15/1914)  I gently caress with this How Wonderful! fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Aug 23, 2020 |

Classic Kevin and Kell (April 1-5, 1996)     Note: "Are we attending church Sunday?" is one of the few mentions of religion in the strip. I actually have no idea how religions work in the K&K universe! Either it's never mentioned, or I've removed the memory. We shall discover it together as I keep posting the strip, I guess.

Lynn is absolutely terrified that someone might take the things her small children say literally and immediately assume the worst. It's actually worrying her that whoever's on the phone might believe she's in the middle of murdering a baby and her daughter is just nonchalantly relating that fact.EasyEW posted:There's a conspiracy theory going around that the past several months of Tracy storylines have been editorially sliced and diced.

I'm also late to Uncle Max chat but once attention was called to his shirt I suddenly realized that he was wearing the Rocko shirt, which I had never noticed before. Was Rocko also gay? Were all the employees in that one movie theater wearing Rocko's shirt being bullied by their boss into unknowingly identifying themselves as gay?

There's an episode that ends with Rocko being chased by a mob after stating that he likes rainbows.

Yeah, the only evidence suggested for Max being coded gay was a mustache and a triangle shirt, which isn't exactly ironclad.

Tiggum posted:Does this theory specify a reason for them doing so? The boiled-down version I was told from what they've come up with in the comments section is that the Tribune Content Agency (so the paper, not the syndicate) told the current creative team that the papers don't want anything "controversial", but that the vintage Tracy rogues gallery tends to do better than new villains, so they've been forcing a metric ton of rewrites over the past several months. A lot of that conversation conveniently takes place in direct messages, though, so who the hell knows. It certainly isn't blowing up anywhere I could pop you a link to.

Alterian posted:I didn't realize there was only one scientist for the entire world. Two scientific side note on mammoths: First, they probably didn't go out because of climate change. Climate change was much more severe in the previous glacial minimum, the Eemian, than it was in the current one, the Holocene, prior to current global warming, but the mammoths did fine then. In addition, mammoths *did* survive on Wrangel Island until about 2000 BC, surviving both the fastest Holocene changes and the peak Holocene temperatures, only to disappear around the time human artifacts start showing up there. Mammoths were likely exterminated by human predation. If we *could* recreate and release them they'd probably do fine. Fun trivia fact: There were still mammoths alive when the Pyramids were built. Second, as a biologist, I am *super* suspicious of any current "revive the mammoth" project. Slow-frozen mammalian cells aren't going to be viable after 10,000 years in a lousy freezer. Even if they could revive the cells somehow, mammoths and elephants are as divergent as us and apes and viable hybrids are unlikely. Mammals are rarely able to crossbreed more than 2-4 million years out because of changes to fetus-placental-maternal signaling, probably driven by genomic conflict (fetal genes "want" the mother to invest more resources into the fetus than the maternal genes do, so there's an ongoing evolutionary arms race). IMO any "revive the mammoth" project will require re-creating mammalian cells "from scratch" using the mammoth sequences, and that is decades off.
