I'm a sad trans woman with the self-esteem of a styrofoam cup. I just scroll past Dilbert and Pros and Cons and few others because I understand that nobody here gives a single flying gently caress how I feel, just like IRL.

I'm trying very hard to think of a non-homophobic explanation for the throwaway panels here, and I can't come up with one.

This is one of the few times I don't empathize with Calvin's parents at all. Their son clearly loves his stuffed tiger, and enjoyed taking pictures of him.

I believe the conceit is that, without Calvin's imagination, the pictures are all identical or close to identical. It isn't so much that they think Calvin is dumb or wasteful. He just genuinely doesn't understand. But it seems like a sarcastic remark would be more in character.

Cursive is a poo poo writing system that serves no purpose now that people don't have to handwrite things all the time(so writing speed isn't really a factor). It's straight-up worse than print if other people being able to read what you write is the goal. People who make sloppy print are completely loving illegible if they write in cursive. And there's an extra gently caress you if you have any sort of disability that makes it hard to hold a pen 'correctly'. Even when I was still in K12 schooling and handwriting notes, I didn't bother with cursive because I had both problems and print was just easier.

The guy with the best penmanship in my high school class wrote in all caps, block letters. I never had any trouble reading his notes. You could OCR his notes they were so clean.

My cursive on the other hand was trash.

This just looks like Phil Foglio art now.

Not enough impossible breasts and the waists are still too big for that.

Use this one, I made the shaking more lit (ie faster).

And obviously I want it.

This thread is one of half a dozen that I follow on SA and it is by far the one that I read most often.
I do not create content for it, but I'd love to have this tag.

That's exactly the kind of melodramatic ridiculousness in which I would have engaged as a youth, and with just as much chutzpah and downright sincerity as Wallace.

This is wonderful. This is art.

The history of childcare is just insane. Harry Harlow for example had to torture monkeys in order to establish that infants do in fact like to be comforted.

That was a great skit on The State. Didn't realize it was based on fact.

Betty Boop is his wife, you know.

She was originally a dog, right? That explains her head shape.

And they had that clown named Bimbo the Clown.

Zelda

This one I get. Should I be glad that I'm now being exploited to make money just like straight people?
Should I be excited that Cyberpunk 2077 includes transwoman models with visible crotch bulges in their hyper-capitalistic future advertising?
Is it sad that I am actually happy about it?

This thread has literally been a beacon of joy and whimsy during the worst of times IRL.

I hope it lives on. If not, well, that's 2020 for you.

Some Guy TT posted:

It feels really weird to have Zelda describe a night of kinky nerd sex with a reasonably decent-looking nice guy who has a sense of humor and also a cat as rock bottom. The strip opened up with her forcibly moving back in with an ex-boyfriend who she mutually loathes. It's kind of hard to go down from there.

It's not the casual sex with a hot nerd; it's the fact that she got so shitfaced she barely remembers it and might feel like she made choices she wouldn't have made sober.

There was a manga where a band went back in time before the Beatles were made and they just plagiarized the Beatles' songs to make themselves rich and popular. And from what I heard, one of the band members justified the plagiarism by saying they wanted to hear what new songs the Beatles would make. It's pretty gross, imo.

They made a movie (Rom Com) about a world where the Beatle's never existed called Yesterday. Except this one guy remembers.
