I love that Val is clearly looking at that elephant like, "I'm gonna kick its rear end!"

It almost certainly gave a pre-cooked weight in the menu and he orders expensive poo poo often enough to know better

He just likes to complain and sets him self up for disappointment

Ed is such a lovely husband that finds no enjoyment in his own wife's hobbies, despite her inviting him to try things out with her all the time. He doesn't even have the courtesy to shut the gently caress up if he doesn't like it, just complains about poo poo all the time.

Exactly. The first mention of Calvinball, IIRC, came at the end of a week where Calvin had a horrible time trying to play baseball with other kids. It's not that he's against things like sports and camping, it's that he enjoys and prefers to do them more when they're on his terms (or less set up to make him fail) and I think a lot of folks can relate to that.

He's going to find absolutely nothing, because they're all too scared of a few animals to keep going. Which is fine with me, since I assume the reason Boltar would want to know where the gold comes from is to get more than he agreed to.

I'm particularly fond of them thinking the giraffe is some kind of serpent, since they can only see its head.

I do find it odd that Val doesn't know what an elephant is though, even if he's never seen one. Surely he'd have heard of Hannibal.

Dykes to Watch Out For #115 (1991)


Toni is probably referring to the nomination of Clarence Thomas, a conservative George H.W. Bush appointee put forward to replace Civil Rights titan Thurgood Marshall. Thomas was the second of two Bush appointments, the first being David Souder in 1990, although Thomas was strongly considered for that slot as well.

To begin with Thomas presented clear issues to many-- he was a conservative's conservative and relatively inexperienced. All of these issues were compounded in the light of compelling allegations of sexual harassment by his former colleague Anita Hill.

Anyway I regret to inform Toni-- he's of course still around and still awful.

He'd been a prominent Republican figure following the 1988 presidential election, when he appeared at a Bush campaign rally, so I think for that kind of "post-Reagan, the floodgates are open for any recognizable but unqualified celebrity" anxiety he worked really well.
