StrixNebulosa posted:I'm late because I've been busy but this is a good post. I really enjoy Kevin and Kell, almost as much as I enjoy hating on it. I don't have anything to add except that you're a good poster and post good comics, thank you. Aw thanks! You too! Anyway, a little stroke of fortune. On this stressful day we're up to one of my all-time favorite DtWOF strips. Dykes to Watch Out For #114 (1991)  Most of this is self-explanatory. Somewhat surprisingly, Bechdel stuck with actual movies for the marquee here, perhaps to drive home her point about dude-centric blockbusters. Kindergarten Cop was a 1990 Schwarzenegger movie about uh, a cop who has to teach kindergarten to catch a drug-lord. It's goofy. What About Bob? is a 1991 Frank Oz movie starring Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss. Dreyfuss is a psychiatrist, Murray is Bob, an annoying patient. Thelma and Louise was a 1991 Ridley Scott movie in which Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon go wild on a road trip together, a very formative movie for the 90s "girl power" aesthetic. In it, a guy who's harassing and assaulting them gets shot to death in what was then an extremely cathartic scene for many women. Pursued by the cops for this, they go on a spree before eventually deciding to drive off the edge of a cliff together, which is where the movie ends. So-- on the one hand, two cool ladies not giving a poo poo, telling annoying men to eat poo poo and blowing up their trucks. On the other hand, they end up dead, suicide being preferable to capture and reassimilation back into the patriarchy. Andrew Dice Clay was a comedian who was popular for being kind of a loud-mouthed idiot. He said all kinds of dumbshit racist and misogynist things as part of his "anti-PC" persona so his appearance here is appropriate. I just really like the way the catcalling guy gets shut down here. Like I said, one of my favorite strips. Sam's Strip (3/8/1962)  Jackie Kennedy was famous for her couture and especially her Oleg Cassini and Chanel suits. Her little pillbox hat and pink Chanel suit were a signature look, that, kind of grimly for this strip, because most famous from the day of JFK's assassination in 1963.

Andrew Dice Clay was also famous for ruining his own career by being a loudmouth sexist dumbass on SNL in the 90s, which is really saying something, and is also responsible for the indulgent vanity film project The Adventure of Ford Fairlane which is a better Yello soundtrack than a movie.

"What About Bob?" is one of those movies we had recorded off cable when I was a kid and I've probably seen it a hundred times. I bet I could quote it word for word alongside the commercials that came in the breaks. It's weird to me that my kids won't really have that same experience as streaming takes fully over. We had Ghostbusters 2 recorded, as well, and I watched it a hundred times before I ever saw the first Ghostbusters. I'm not so silly as to think that my childhood was better than theirs because of how media consumption has evolved. It's just one of those common threads that connects a generation and divides us from others in subtle (and honestly, meaningless) ways.

fondue posted:Isn't that exactly what Circuit City did? This comic is probably a direct response to that, yeah. First it was a bunch of layoffs and paycuts for the people they kept when they got rid of commission bonuses in 2003, and then they did exactly this in 2007 while lowering the starting pay by $1.35 an hour. Both times it backfired horribly for the company and by 2009 the company was defunct.

Yeah it turns out making your service worse was a terrible way to respond to rising e-commerce but it sure did squeeze a little bit of extra blood from the stone for shareholders

Yeah this was part of a series of impressively stupid decisions--before the layoffs and the pay cuts, they decided to stop selling large appliances in 2000 despite being the second-largest such retailer, causing them to immediately miss out on all the appliance revenue generated during the housing bubble.
