It's another "Displaced In Time" gag. The man is in oldfashioned clothes and is asking the gimmick Horse Carriage Ride For Tourists to drive him like it's a modern cab.

Samovar posted:Ok, this may sound weird, but I think I may be hard of hearing, but only for speech? I've noticed a number of times that I can hear very faint sounds, sometimes before other people, but I can completely overlook someone speaking either around me or to me if I am otherwise distracted. Sorta similar. I can hear very faint sounds, but also speech very well, if it's QUIET. Background noise though really fucks up my ability to understand speech. Twelve by Pies posted:I have a thing where I can hear just fine but I can't understand people talking if there's any sort of background noise. Since hearing tests are just "press a button when you hear a beep" I do really well at them, but sometimes when I'm talking to someone I can hear that they're saying things but I can't understand what they're saying. Even asking them to repeat it a couple of times doesn't help. We should start a support group. His Divine Shadow fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Feb 25, 2021 |

SubNat posted:You're doing that thing where you're projecting company ethics instead of sensible opinions, Marla. (Though the missing receipt and missing packaging muddles the point a bit, those are reasonable to complain about. It just feels like she has the most issue with the 'I don't want it anymore' part.) Johnny Walker posted:Mark Trail Mark's father is the original Rusty. riderchop posted:Garfield quote:“I don't know why dogs always go for postmen, I'm sure," continued our guide. Why even make it a negotiation? As the parent, you can just tell your child how late they're allowed to be out. You don't have to haggle.

Tiggum posted:Based on the 2020-10-27 strip, Mark "Happy" Trail III, (father of the current Mark Trail) correlates with James Allen's tenure, making his father the Jack Elrod version of the character. Jack Elrod took over the comic in 1978 and intriduced Rusty in 1981. That's a really neat way to maintain continuity that makes sense of the backstory without necessitating a functional reboot. If you squint really hard the repeated names can just be an unlikely coincidence, especially since I doubt anyone in comic is going to call attention to it.

Classic Kevin & Kell (October 25-29, 1999)     This is the first good look we get at Edgar, Rhonda's boyfriend, though he appeared briefly in one panel last (in-strip) year. He'll be a minor character, but he will get a few story arcs focused on him... Starting in 2005, when he'll show up next. (Holbrook tends to have minor characters appear for one or two strips, and then years later he'll reach through time and pull them out when needed. This will be a recurring trend.) See ya in six years, Edgar!

Seeing classic and present Kevin and Kel side by side its bugging the hell out of me that apparently Rudy and Fiona have been together much longer with their relationship much more in focus than Lindesfarne and the bat yet they were somehow so outpaced in the fuckery department that Lindesfarne and the bat already have a kid while Rudy and Fiona are still acting like coy teenagers.

Because Michael is much more likely to accept and follow a rule that he has agreed to than one that is imposed on him without discussion. Compared to Lynn's usual standards this is relatively good parenting.

Well, the strip starts when Rudy is in his last year of middle school; he graduates, and moves on to high school, where thus far he's had two prom dances. (Well, we've only seen the first one through Bruno, who took Rhonda as his date last year, but still.) So he's in his second year. Very minor spoiler which I'll not even tag: rudy will graduate from high school in 2015. Soap Opera Time, bay-bee!

Tiggum posted:I'm absolutely certain America doesn't have that. We don't have that in Australia either. You can return a product that was unfit for purpose (which can include breaking or wearing out too quickly, or not doing what the person who sold it to you said it would), but if you just decided you didn't want it then it's up to the shop whether to take it back or not. And when I worked electronics retail in about the mid 00's, saying "I opened it, I used it, but there's nothing wrong with it, I just don't want it" on a return would typically result in a 15% Restocking Fee if you went ahead with the return. It's unlikely that any particular sales associate would perform any sort of check to verify that an item you claimed was nonfunctional actually was, though.

The older strips give the impression they're about the same age, but in the newer ones she seems a lot older. Although now that I think about it, maybe she was always supposed to be a lot older than Rudy. I don't recall ever having seen her gone to school. I also don't recall her ever mentioning what her job is. And now the vagueness is irritating me, because she shows up about as often as Rudy does so it's weird that the context of her social life isn't as obvious as his is.
