Johnny Walker posted:Rex Morgan MD this thread inspired me to spend ten minutes last night researching jicama, what they're like, and where I might reasonably purchase one in this city, and ten minutes this morning calling around to various small markets who haven't updated their websites since 2015 to ask about their stock, and forty minutes this afternoon going across town to buy a jicama. I'm not thrilled by jicama, raw or cooked. Semi-sweet, yeah, but also a distinct undertaste that reminds me of fresh-picked green beans - and not in a good way. It's okay, and I'll almost certainly finish it over the next few weeks, but I won't buy it again.

Julienne the jicama, throw some chilli powder and lime and salt on it, and put it into a taco with your favourite other taco things.

This Luanne storyline is getting to me. Shannon comes across to me as a kid who has been ignored all her life and who is doing whatever it takes to get any sort of engagement at all. And the nominal heroes of this strip mostly can't be added if she isn't hurting herself or causing property damage.

"Hindsight bias, also known as the knew-it-all-along phenomenon[1] or creeping determinism,[2] refers to the common tendency for people to perceive events that have already occurred as having been more predictable than they actually were before the events took place.[3][4]" Keep that in mind when you read this installment of The Timid Soul, which was published in 1939. With decades of hindsight, the meaning of the joke here is totally changed. Was there really any way for HT Webster - an American - to predict that Caspar's concerns would be completely rational and sensible? ![]()

Cheer Up Boss Dharma![]() The penultimate panel is actually quite a bit more specific than I'm making it look. Ms. Giffs is actually saying she's going to file an official petition with the Blue House. Official petitions to the Blue House are required by law to receive an official government response if they can break two hundred thousand signatures. There's no good way to put all that context in a single speech balloon, so I had to turn it into a proximate reference that's still off, albeit for a cultural reason still present in the original comic. Namely, the idea that you could go over the heads of local cops to a higher authority and have some sort of expectation they might take you more seriously.

Nice one. And once again, we see that every man in Brenda's life is a colossal rear end in a top hat. Smokey Stover 10/31/37 ![]() If you don't get the "Cut-Ups for Grown-Ups" panel, it used to be a popular Halloween prank for kids to take someone's front gate off its hinges and either take it away or throw it somewhere inaccessible.

![]() Except that Toni doesn't want kids, as you just discussed. The person who wants the least amount of kids wins. Sucks you guys evidently didn't talk about that even once before you got engaged, but that's what happens when you're dumb. ![]() What's he supposed to do? Beat her? Let her bleed out all over his kitchen? Throw her out in the snow? Discipline/retaliation options are pretty slim when you're talking about somebody else's kid. Time-outs and talking-tos can happen, sure, but I guess it makes me a bleeding-heart coddler of entitled monsters If I'm okay with Brad mopping up the blood first.

And, again, she's acting out for attention because it's been denied to her for so long. Ignoring her unless she's hurt just sends her bad messages about how to get love. And even worse, her worth as a person.

Pretty sure the comics commentariat over there consists of the same cruel, self-satisfied leadbrains discussed in the Boomer and rejected parents threads in GBS.
