Vargo posted:We've been talking so much about Saint Lisa, but isn't there a moment in the future where Les gets a phone call from his dead wife telling him not to get on a plane, which then crashes, or something like that? I swear I'm not making this up. I think. Yeah it happened and it's also never brought up again I think in favor of a much more boring plot of "les consistently failing to reach the final stage of grief"

dismas posted:Man, retreading these Far Sides it’s pretty nuts how good they still are and how many people have failed to imitate Larson So very few of them manage that "doodled something and then gave it a caption" energy that really makes The Far Side special to me. The fact that a lot of ripoffs even go as far as ripping off Larson's art style really doesn't help though.

Some Guy TT posted:I vaguely remember that the reason ultimately given for the weight gain was that Tiffany was depressed because she was feeling increasingly isolated from her father and far away from home. I don't remember if we were actually told this at the time, but that's been the implication ever since then at least with all of Tiffany's personal problems directly relating to a strained family relationship. That's what I think too but I can't tell if it's just applying basic empathy to figure out that she has some sort of a stress related eating disorder

The writers not spending years being really mean to someone based on the concept of bullying the one character who is based on the daughter the whole thing is weird as hell also when is the last time luann was even in luann
