Garfield - January 21, 2001

"Strix, this comic elicits only a faint smile and appears to be copy-pasted. Why is it noteworthy to you?" Because when I was a kid (I was around ten when this comic came out) my brother and I picked up on it immediately and began doing it to each other all the time. My parents were annoyed, we were delighted, and Garfield really struck a chord loud enough to make me remember it nearly twenty years later.

There are countless lovely comics in here and I'm fine with seeing them, but I absolutely refuse to read something that's openly transphobic. gently caress Dilbert.

e: You know what? I'm actually really bothered that you keep telling us to ignore the transphobic comic. I'm not putting them on ignore. I'm going to keep complaining. Discrimination has no place in the newspapers, or in this thread.

I'm sorry if I've bothered you, but the general sentiment in this thread when people complain that a strip offends them is to get bent. I was told to suck it up when Funky Winkerbean went into its 10-week long circle jerk about Bull's CTE, so I know how it feels. Still, if you don't like the content someone shares, ignore is the best solution. Hell, feel free to put me on ignore, if you like.

Funky Winkerbean was spoiler-tagged for the entirety of that arc, so something was done. Additionally, an insensitive depiction of an illness isn't the same as hate speech. Ignoring isn't the best solution, either - letting hate speech go unopposed is a great way for it to push its way into a community and then get more extreme.

Have another Garfield. From Jul 7, 2002, this one is notable to me because the coloring is kind of gross and because uh, that is some horrifying cartoon anatomy.

I used to really like the Encyclopedia Brown series as a kid and there's one that always stuck out to me. There were always some I had no chance of solving simply because they relied on things that were only true decades prior, but this one failed on every level, even undermining its own premise. Basically, it's determined that there are some crooks hiding in a restaurant. The patrons and their positions are all described, and the criminals turn out to be a couple each crossdressing as the other gender (for... some reason. Look it's been a long time. They also may have both been men, I dunno). The reason is that that the woman was sitting in the wrong spot - you see, women are supposed to sit with their backs to the wall in restaurants, and the couple had it the wrong way around, proving their deception. But the very fact that this is a mystery that needs to be solved and is presented as a puzzle relies on the fact that the reader doesn't immediately recognize that as wrong! If it's something the reader might not know, why wouldn't it be something that they didn't know? Most damningly, it's something Encyclopedia Brown himself didn't know - it's solved by another character who knows these things because such knowledge comes standard with being a girl.

I realize this has a very tenuous connection to the topic at hand, but I've been mad about this puzzle for like 15 years and I'm going to take any opportunity I can to finally rant about it.

This cracks me up because it's so profoundly out of date that my dad - who grew up in the 70s - certainly didn't subscribe to it. Whenever we go to a restaurant he wants his back to the wall so he has a commanding view of the room. And he cared about this so much he'd make child!me move if I took the spot he wanted. I vaguely remember my grandpa doing the same thing - gotta sit like you're worried about gangsters coming into the restaurant.

Idgi. What's a Hobson?

Hobson is a character, not sure why he doesn't like him but this pooch is very particular about his friends

e: aha

Darlene "Cheeky" Hobson
Wal's girlfriend. She is the proprietor of La Parisienne Hairdressing Salon in Raupo. Cheeky is despised by the Dog, who is always looking for ways to come between her and Wal. She has two younger sisters, Belinda (Book 10) and Avril (Books 14 and 24), also both disliked by the Dog. Near the end of the strip's run, Cheeky and Wal become engaged, much to the dismay of the Dog and Aunt Dolly, but at the last minute Cheeky dumps Wal to move to Los Angeles with a male stripper. She is first mentioned in Wal's mini-biography at the start of Book 1 (September 1978), but does not appear until Book 3 (July 1980).

This self-awareness that the sharks are eating sentient creatures and making fun of them for it is what's lacking in Kevin and Kell's hellworld.

Overboard is a heartwarming comic! Then you get the strips about Raymond the cat, who is a serial killer and the mice treat him as the terrible monster he is.

The production of Cats as a stage play that's on DVD is one of my most cherished childhood films. I watched that thing so many times and still hum the songs. Everyone in that production is 1000% into being a cat and singing fun songs and it shows.

Here's Skimbleshanks from that production, enjoy:

First: don't feed your dog any scraps from your dining place. Don't. Do this even once and there's a good chance your dog will go "aha it worked" and come back for more.

Second: ignore, ignore, ignore. If you did it once and need to stop it, it's going to take a long time but seriously ignore them. Attention only encourages bad behavior.

Third: consider putting them in their kennel or in another room while eating if it bothers you that much

alternatively, do what I do and feed them scraps in the kitchen while I'm cooking, so they learn to beg in the kitchen instead of at the table :v:

(seriously though I love apollo, his method of begging is standing silently and looking and it's so polite compared to a whine or nosing at me)
