I think the Frazz-child is trying to say that it was a sports story that was written outside of hockey season (pucks), football season (goalposts), and - basketball season? Soccer season? Something with nets - and so did not mention those elements.

I loving hate that my brain turned Frazz into a semi-coherent thought. Need more beer, then sleep.

According to the Luann wiki (I want to die now, knowing that exists):

Hahaha I remember Stuart now. I think it's funny as poo poo that he's included in Luann's memories of "forever guys" when they had literally no connection other than him doing his job and her having a crush.

Also big oof that 9CL creator nickname.

That isn’t even the biggest oof because it’s missing a word. His fans used to refer to him as Honourable Master, or HM for short.


edit: the Commonwealth spelling is present in the original, for maximum pretension. Brooke is American and I assume all of his merry band of fellow jackoffs are too.

Of course you aren’t because it’s exactly the same joke, but any excuse to say “isomorphic” is an excuse one should always take

In the penultimate panel we see Taina Suominen, Heimo's wife. She will evolve into quite a character.

I've seen it used in fantasy-medieval novels when referring to mutual friends or acquaintances, but as a native English speaker (US, midwest, Chicago) I wouldn't use it in casual speech unless I was referring to a mutual relative. Even then I'd probably sound a bit stilted / old-fashioned British :v:

Tenuous connection perhaps but Betty Boop did have her own comic strip in the ‘30s. We’ve definitely had webcomics which feature comic strip characters here before. The thread liked Weapon Brown before we discovered that Yungbluth was a massive piece of poo poo and Mr. Boop is a work of comedic genius by comparison.

edit: penance for a shameful snipe



This kid is so glad Betty Boop is his sister

Was that kid thing a fakeout I wonder.

She could have been babysitting. Adults with responsibility for kids at playgrounds certainly refer to them as “theirs” and it seems far more likely than the elaborate what-if someone posted a while ago about her having Ariel’s misogynist friend’s baby.

I don't know the backstory, but it's sounding like he was adopted. He's the older brother, so maybe Bernice's parents got teen-pregnant and put him up for adoption, but felt like they were ready to be parents by the time Bernice came along.

Wikipedia agrees:

quote:

In January 2007, Bernice learned she had an older brother, Army Sgt. Ben York, who was deployed in Iraq. Her parents had placed him for adoption, as they felt they were too young to have a child.

This is not a "Don't post 'Cathy'" screed, post it and post all comic strips, but I have to get this off my chest:

I find Cathy viscerally uncomfortable on a level that is surprising to me. Her fawning attitude is just the worst. I get that Cathy's supposed to be the butt of the joke and she's mostly called out on it but it's still just unbelievably gross to see that servile "I can't be happy if he's not in my life 25/8!" and "Feminism is why I can't keep a man!" behavior presented in the main character over and over and over. She doesn't even seem to have another characteristic to help paper it over. I have no idea if latter-day Cathy is any better - this is my only exposure to it outside of the popular culture "Haha Cathy said 'Ack!'" trope - but holy poo poo I have to hope that the character develops at all.

What's that? Oh right. I'll have chicken nuggets and a Frosty.

Recap: This week Buck was tired, so he laid down to take a nap. He did so, and awoke later somewhat thirsty.

NEXT: WATER!


It kind of feels like they’re setting up Buck to have an unexpected illness what with the focus on excessive fatigue and unplanned weight loss, maybe depression, but knowing RMMD it’ll turn out to be a big dumb nothing
