Yeah I also read it as Arlo being refreshingly candid about how complicated parenting can be.

We’ve already seen the 10-years-ahead version of Max in Funky Winkerbean, still running the barely solvent Valentine, so I guess, despite the heavy air of foreboding looming over the final panel of this strip, that he isn’t going to die in a ditch on this dangerous night ride. I can’t remember if we saw Hannah and/or their future child during that sequence, though. Maybe she’s going to die in childbirth? Right there, in the theater? Because Crankshaft doesn’t care about his own safety or the safety of others? It would sure make the failure of the Valentine, his last connection to his dead beloved, all the more poignant!

I get what you're saying. I guess I understand Gene's frustration more since I used to get into similar fights with my dad over how to do chores. I really like how Arlo and Janis tackles topics like this with such grace. You definitely won't find such good parenting in Foob or Dustin, that's for sure.

They should get shot out of the sky before entering the atmosphere to avoid any possible contamination of the environment with obviously dangerous alien life. But I'm sure they'll be welcomed as heroic corporate assets and allowed to return to their previous jobs at their previous wages.

Korean's an alphabet with separate letters just like the Latin alphabet, so if you figure no spaces and ' as its own character, English only needs four more for "semiconductorfactory" than "what'swithpeggy"

edit: while we're on language equivalents for Boss Dharma, anyone else see Peggy's speech tick as "like," instead of "gee," since that makes more sense in American English? Eg:
"Like, you don't know anything?"
"Like, 60% of infections come through the hands"

That's a reasonable approximation but part of the reason why I use gee is that it's also nonsense in Korean, referring to a kind of slang speech that no one uses anymore, and never at all in the real world as opposed to cyberspace. And yes, the original is actually even simpler than that. It's just conductor factory (well, making conductors, no reference to a factory) and I added semi because that word alone has multiple interpretations in English. These kinds of factories for major corporations are a cultural touchstone for South Korean culture because they're high class manufacturing jobs. We don't really make conductors in the United States, at least not on as wide a scale, so there was no real American equivalent I could use that would involve someone wearing elaborate equipment.

Sorry for people who miss my blog post style explanations for these weirder tics. Lately I just have trouble...um...remembering which things would seem weird to someone not familiar with South Korean culture.

Exactly! And the specific qualities he likes are not her intelligence or her personality or her character or anything that is actually specific to her or who she is, but rather the traditional "women's work" that she does in the home.

Samovar posted:

I'm not seeing anything in particular, but something else that caught my attention is that 1913 was the first time that Washington state adopted a juvenile justice code, which (for a few generations, at least) took juvie justice in a paternalistic, non-confrontational direction. Instead of treating a youthful offender like a shrunken adult, the new system focused on reform instead of punishment. Unfortunately, they had to make it weird, because the push for "non-adversarial" proceedings were implemented with indeterminate sentencing, squishy guidelines on detention and leaving juries, lawyers, and even witnesses (you know, due process) out of the equation, which eventually forced the Supreme Court to pump the brakes and call for a reevaluation of the prevalent system of the previous half-century.

In reaction, Washington's 1977 juvenile code was a fundamental rewrite which, while guaranteeing certain rights that adult offenders would've taken for granted, turned hard in the direction of punishment over reform, and that's pretty much the direction the country's been heading in ever since.
