This is one reason why Zits is such a better comic strip than Dustin: the characters (and the cartoonists) have a sense of self-awareness.

"Oh, Les will call out my name during sex. Don't worry about it". My parents love this strip for some reason. Must be a Boomer thing.

CzarChasm posted:What, you don't find the idea of never being able to move on from your past relationship romantic? Do you see something wrong with being so in love with a person that you won't allow yourself to even consider marrying another person without hallucinating their ghostly visage* giving a literal thumbs up of approval? Are you one of those sickos who doesn't believe in parading your current partner through the life history of your dead spouse and constantly comparing the two, both of you knowing full well that the new could never even hope to hold a candle to the original? I forgot about that too. That's really weird. All this even after Batiuk made a big deal of Les taking a trip to place his St. Lisa shrine on top of Mt. Kilimanjaro (?) in an effort to get past her death or whatever. It's incredibly creepy and unhealthy and I don't know why Carla sticks around for this poo poo.

At the time, I remember there was an hilarious edit of the Funky IED strip that combined it with the final episode of MASH ("Keep that chicken quiet!").

sweeperbravo posted:This is a dumb question, I'm sure. No. I think it's been exaggerated to the point of legend in a lot of media to make it seem like there are very specific, precisely-defined groups that you're either a part of or not. I also went to a small rural high school and graduated in a class of ~126 people. There were cliques but they never felt stratified, and I was not really a part of any one specific group (I was friends with everyone).

The Vosgian Beast posted:I have a friend who has a funny story about this arc, so I asked her to type it out so I could share it with people. That's like something I would have done as a kid. I read a lot of Calvin and Hobbes and it influenced my imagination. In fifth grade, inspired by the strip, I had a certain tree on my school playground that worked somewhat like Calvin's transmogrifier. I'd key in a code for whatever I wanted to be, pretend to step inside the tree, and emerge transformed. Calvin and Hobbes is one of my favorite comic strips. It's been really interesting to reread it from the perspective of a 36 year old adult.

Les has been wined and dined and treated with kid gloves for a story that is the equivalent of a Hallmark channel movie. It sucks that your wife died of cancer; I know that's traumatic. But people die of cancer all the time. What's any more special about

Nikaer Drekin posted:No, Lucy was first introduced as a baby and then eventually aged up to match the rest of the cast - the same thing happened with Schroeder and Linus, if I remember correctly. Going by the Peanuts wiki, Lucy's first strip is a little less than four months away from this one. readingatwork posted:Nope! That's Violet. She's still around in the newer strips, albeit largely forgotten and unused except as background filler. Thanks. I guess I'm not as up on my Peanuts lore as I thought. I always figured that Lucy and Charlie Brown were the same age.

I've always theorized that Dustin's clinically depressed because his family is so unsupportive. I'm preaching to the choir, but Dustin's family is holding him back; not a "useless" degree and laziness.

Kennel posted:It's very easy to read it like that, but in the end Dustin is just a fictional character written by an unsympathetic rear end in a top hat, who accidentally created relatable tragic character. Dustin is actually pretty insightful when it comes to the dynamics between Millennials/Zoomers and Boomers, which I think is the funniest thing about it. Kelly and/or Parker tell on themselves so much.

It's creepy.

nishi koichi posted:it’s small, but i really like tillman’s teacher in this strip. you didn’t really see this kind of character in cartoons and comics very much, you’ve either got the nauseating “sunshine-and-rainbows” in rose is rose, or the teacher who hates life, like miss wormwood in c + h. I really like the strips where Tillman's teacher spins things to make them more interesting. It's a contrast to Funky, where a lot of the students (or at least Les and the science teacher guy) seem to have contempt for their students.
