Strips like this where they don't even bother pretending the baby's a baby is why I hate Daddy Daze.

So if Wilbur hasn't talked to Hugo yet, I take it that Wilbur just never bothered speaking to Dawn when he got back from overseas? It would be completely on-brand for Wilbur to ignore his kid while he goes and makes a fool of himself with Estelle.

An alligator fleeing anyone in a snow storm doesn't sound very likely anyway, precisely because they are cold blooded. They need a warm environment to move quickly and start hibernation when it becomes cool. Alligator is not the quickest animal on land to begin with. But I know that Bob Weber Jr did this just to raise my expectations on reading "masked bandit" and then not giving me standard raccoon racism :mad:

He genuinely does not know how to do that. Last time we got into it, he posted to his own page for three days without @-ing me, thinking he was talking to me the whole time.

I also sincerely kinda think whatever petty revenge plot he's had for my character, if he had one at all, has been forgotten by now. I got attacked by a bear, and now he's going forward with whatever the plot idea was that he had before.

For a lot of the historically-located strips I like to google references to things, basically just to see if they're references and whether it's some extra wink-wink-nod-nod storytelling.

While the story of the brigantine Venus is quite interesting, based on who we've been introduced so far it seems like it won't be terribly relevant beyond that most archetypal of stories at sea, the mutiny.

The more interesting part is that the slightly bawdy part of the tale, wherein the captain reports finding drunk crewmen with topless women, appears to have caused the ship to lend its conveniently salacious name to a drinking song that feels like listening to the Event Horizon video logs.

Thanks for reminding me of this song from that album. It's the closest thing to a drunk guy impersonation that I actually like. Or he actually got drunk before singing this song!

Yeah, Esallen doesn't have a clue how Twitter works, which probably contributed to him being so cranky when he was using it. He thought I was tagging Tiggum in every message when I responded to a thread between them.

The bit about the "transsexual marine" has not aged especially well. You can see Bechdel's attitude towards trans women kind of evolve in real time over the course of the strip, but it does not begin in a very sympathetic place, although a lot of that is arguably attributable to Mo as kind of an rear end in a top hat.

unfortunately i don't think bechdel ever 100% truly got over her weird hangups about trans people. :smith: i know there was a bit of a thing at one point about her endorsing a book called 'adam' which was about a cis dude pretending to be a trans man so he could have sex with lesbians, among other things which i'm not at length to really speak about with experience. it was published in 2014, for a reference on time.

like i wouldn't say she's out-and-out hateful towards the trans community by any stretch, but i also wouldn't entirely trust her in relation to it. it's a really, incredibly bad book.

Speaking of Holbrook, I feel like Pogo is what he wishes Kevin and Kell was. I've only read the ones posted in this thread, but it's incredible how Pogo does "funny animals living in a whimsical society" so much better than Holbrook's brand of poo poo.
