Parahexavoctal posted:In this installment of The Timid Soul, I have no idea how Caspar could have gotten himself into this situation. "Sissy" had come to mean "weak, foppish, or effeminate boy or man" by the mid 19th-century. The OED has attributions from the 1870s onwards, and the sense seems to be "lacking manly qualities that are associated with brawn or grit" e.g. a "sissy" could be a boy who was afraid of getting dirty or too fastidious about his clothing. Sometimes this meant "like a girl," but at other times the sense seems closer to "like a modernized, domesticated man," like in this little bit from the 1916 Rhymes of a Red Cross Man: quote:We're only beginning to find ourselves; That being said, the very earliest uses of "sissy" in English were applied to women and girls. From the 1750s at the very latest it was in use as a term of endearment-- often a condescending or coddling one-- for a sister. In the mid-20th century "sissy" was even applied to pieces of womens' clothing that were especially frilly and ornamented: the sissy dress of the 30s or the sissy dress of the 50s, with lots of frills and ruffles and bows and stuff.

This comic's got my number and no mistake. I'm reading this thread lounging on the couch in that exact same position.

The subject of eye dialect is something that makes me really wonder about Out Our Way too. The "young suburban boy" eye-dialect is pretty much similar to a wide range of "standard" US-american registers as understood today, but it's very distinct from the "sister," "mother," and "father" ways of speaking that are just regular printed English without any alteration. It always makes me think that the boys are speaking like 20th century people and everyone else is enunciating really hard.

These are all amazing. ![]() I gotta say, the cop stopping the mail lady and going "How would it protect your head if you make a little detour to a ditch?" sounds really threatening in 2020. The weasel being considered legally dead and given a new identity by the hedgehog really makes this entire story look like a loving cult indoctrination.

RandomPauI posted:The shapeshifter is in outer space and Samantha is at big risk of being sucked out into outer space. I suspect you're putting more thought into it than Holbrook did but like I said, it is so hard to predict where he could possibly go, so there is a non-zero chance you absolutely got it. There's also a pretty good chance we do end up with two Samanthas, but it comes about in a totally different way that'll give us all whiplash.

I thought it was just meant to be the general roar of the crowd.

There's no live spectators and no crowd noises (although some leagues play them from tape, I think?), so he has to make those himself.

Endless Mike posted:I think general roar of the crowd is right. A&J is generally at pretty timely, and there's been no college sports since March, and even under normal circumstances, football wouldn't have started yet, plus you wouldn't say "what a shot" for football. So he's watching either basketball, soccer, or hockey, and only hockey didn't boycott, so I guess it could be that. i don't think the comic is timely enough to be referring to something that happened at like 6pm yesterday
