EasyEW posted:Crankshaft I was going to comment on how incredibly lazy this gag has been, and then it struck me that Batiuk was probably putting less effort than usual into it since he considers his current Funky Winkerbean storyline to be an amazing story. Now I'm even more pissed off than I was before.

I don't think that a smoke inhalation/extreme heat exposure hallucination really cares about being canon-accurate, FW ain't what Working Daze thinks it is.

Gravity coaster. Yes, they had a brakeman, and no, there were no bars or belts. It was a different time. Based on the publication date, that time was about to come to an abrupt end as the US entered WWI.

Angular Cyrus posted:King Aroo 1/22/54 This would seem to imply that bringing presents to a party used to be about as common expectation as telling people you were coming at all. Or alternatively, that gatecrashing was socially acceptable as long as you brought a present.

The Bloop posted:what the hell is their logo It looks like it's supposed to be a B.C, yet their show's titled "Unity-Thru Cosplay".  There's some hosed up stuff to unpack here. Kell's quota dropped not because she developed compassion after marrying a herbivore but because of unrelated reasons. We never see Kevin cancel his order for the software despite the threat of Kell losing her job. Kell takes credit for some other person's work and accepts the promotion despite the fact that she'll be expected to provide a higher quota. And lastly, Herd Thinners is supposed to be a company that hunts people and turns them to food, right? But Coney here eats the people she kills, so going by that logic this wouldn't help Kell at all. This implies the quota isn't to bring in food, but just flat out culling the underclass. I hate this man. Stop acting coy, you sleazy gently caress.  EasyEW posted:Someone hasn't watched this serial in a long time. Murania is the ultimate gated community, and the queen was trying to sabotage Radio Ranch because she viewed above-grounders were vermin to be kept out at all costs. Batiuk failing to do any proper research on the things he's referencing? Well, color me surprised.

Strontium posted:Angry Birds The thing that really bugs me about Angry Birds is that in theory these set-ups should work fine without us having any idea who these characters are. But in execution the punchlines always require we know who the characters are for no reason. The red bird deciding to ignore the pig screaming water only makes sense if you know the pigs are bad, and we haven't actually seen the pigs doing anything bad. The bald eagle strip here only makes sense if we know the bald eagle is supposed to be a buffoon, and he's not being presented as a buffoon. And so on, and so forth.

From what I could find, it was a casual sport coat with a half-belt in the back that hid additional pleats for greater range of movement. The jacket third from the right here is labeled as a "free swing back". And it'll cost you an extra $2.00.  Another "bi-swing back":

computer angel posted:Imagine being this disappointed all your friends and loved ones planned a huge surprise party for your birthday. I'd kind of side with Lynn on this one about surprise parties, especially if she really, truly does not want one, and John knows her well enough to know she means it. Dawn of the Birthday is probably a bit late to extract a promise, unless she's been saying "I don't want a party" for some time, doesn't believe John's assurances that there won't be one, and thinks that the promise will make him call it off at this point when her other statements haven't.
