Out of all the dumb and terrible things in Kevin and Kell, what irks me the most is the weird underbite on rabbit-turned-rat.

fondue posted:Well see, half the buildings were really old back in the late 80s and were heated with boilers. The temperature of a room would vary from comfortable to tropical. If you lived in an apartment or dorm near the campus you could endure a little cold so you could wear clothing appropriate for the rooms. Sure, but that picture is from 2019. I'm just tickled that Boondocks provided early documentation of a weird white boy flex that continues to this very day.

Encyclopedia Brown also had one where a stolen key was hidden in a hotdog and the giveaway was that the mustard and sauerkraut had been added in the wrong order and apparently "nobody eats hotdogs that way"

Michelle is definitely being drawn strangely as of late. Also I think some colleges require RAs to host a certain number of events as part of having the job

Is it too late to get a tag as well? Re: Edda's birth plan, I assumed it was related to whatever unnamed complication kept her on hospital bed-rest. The bed-rest where she spent her time drawing cheesecake pictures of herself and making out with her gay ex-roommate. Don't forget all the sweet money she made as a model, which cause her to be fired from her ballerina job. I don't think the strip has ever broached the fallout of that.

IIRC someone did post Kliban regularly some time ago, and just put the NSFW ones under a link. It was good stuff.

I like Zelda because it's very aware of how lovely its protagonist can be. It's refreshing after the Luanns and Les Moores of the comics page

My understanding is that one might expect that phrasing for a particularly difficult or dangerous machine, but here it's just...an actual tub of lye.

Just wanted to say thanks for posting Dykes to Watch Out For and providing so much historical context! It's been a fascinating read and my experience is vastly enriched by your footnotes.

I think my main issue with HoTC's new art style is all the shading. Something about it makes my eyes slide off the strip and blurs out any features that are meant to make the characters distinct.

This bit with Puddles strikes me as extra weird since there have been strips in the past centering on how he's an older dog who's getting lazy

No, God is a whole separate guy from Thorax's Pappy (the tiny old man he is sometimes seen with). God is a balding mustachiod man in a suit who we saw when the old nun had some weird metaphysical experience while one of her former nuns was giving birth.

StrixNebulosa posted:dun dun DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN The finding-your-birth-mother story doesn't particularly interest me but there is a strip after the meeting where he has a very sweet interaction with his adoptive mother regarding the whole situation. Hoping you post that one since it shows Batiuk is occasionally able to do a decent thing.

amigolupus posted:And I don't know if putting a baby down and letting them cry for a while is a good solution or not, but it feels terrible coming from Lynn "throw my child out onto the snow" Johnston. This was written in the 80's, right? Letting the kid cry it out* was common advice at the time. Of course, knowing what we know now about her parenting makes this look a lot worse in hindsight. *assuming the baby is fed, dry, and not injured in any way. CIO is still a thing today, but I'm going off my mom's memories of being a new parent in the 80's and how this method was recommended. edit: ah gently caress, as the FOOB lj community pointed out, the crib is in Elizabeth's room so guess who really gets to deal with the nonstop crying! Now THAT'S poo poo parenting! coronatae fucked around with this message at 18:14 on May 12, 2020 |

This is the one I was remembering! I thought it was sweet when I first read it as a teenager and I still think it's sweet. gently caress those videos though, especially the one we'll eventually see labeled "for the other woman" Also what does she even go to Congress to talk about? Guess I'll find out

"Broken more dishes than Nurmi has records" refers to famed Finnish distance runner Paavo Nurmi. I remember him being name-dropped in a Skippy strip several years back as well.

 Also I loving hate the author guy in Apartment 3G. I don't know if it's just a product of its time and we're supposed to see him as a wide-eyed earnest young aw-shucks author but he comes off as a creepy condescending piece of poo poo.

-My guess is the "Vaca" in "Mr. Vaca" is supposed to be pronounced "vaycay" as in "vacation." I've seen people abbreviate vacation that way before, though it doesn't read very well. -Les being excited at the prospect of a younger sibling is really sweet. Poor kid probably wants to spare them the neglectful childhood he had. -Safe Havens doesn't show up on my app unless I actively click on the image link but reading amigolupus' description of what's happening was bonkers and made me really happy I don't see it unless I really want to.
