Manuel Calavera posted:Family Circus Tendales posted:What Until they were old enough to know the real names for things, somehow my girls came to call their bottoms their "butts" and their privates their "butt butts." I would imagine a family with a less permissive atmosphere would have shut that down in favor of something else, and those kids would be endlessly amused by the idea of getting to say butt so often. e: Oh god what a snipe. Also, discounting the discussion of what age is the right age to know the real names for things, which is obviously "it's OK to know the proper names for body parts right off the bat, because they're not bad parts and it's not bad to have them." But also, your kid saying "butt butt" is funny so you let it slide. Huxley fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Apr 9, 2021 |

So Author Unknown? starts next Monday. As promised, I made a brief intro / guide to the cast of Steeple as well as the Tackleford cast that will be appearing. You can download it as a pdf here The password is TheOther. I also exported the pdf as images:      Note if you want to read the Steeple comics, they are available on comixology. I'd buy the collected graphic novel as that has the four page epilogue tht wraps up the series nicely (which, to be fair, is avaiable on the Steeple website). You can read the stories written in 2020 at https://steeple.church

Tambaloneus posted:I relate to this, forget 30 years too soon my parents had a wood fired stove until well after I left home. The ash would fall into a giant metal tin and we'd leave it until it was well overflowing before we bothered emptying it so yes, if it was windy out you wore a good percentage of it and possibly watched some of it burst into flame. Emptying that thing was an adventure in "will i be covered in ash and/or set fire to something today!". The firebox had a huge hole in it so all our homecooked food was lightly smoked and burned on one side if you forgot to go shuffle things around. You regulated the oven temp by just opening the door. Lol we still use firewood in our house, built new 2013 (secondary source, main is a heat pump with ground loop). And you either had a lovely stove, or sopping wet firewood or both to get issues like that. With secondary combustion in our masonry heater, it burns so clean we've had the chimney sweep over once since the house was built and he though the chimney didn't look dirty.

There already exists hundred of slang words for various parts of the body, you think kids wouldn't find some of them hilarious, or come up with their own? I believe it is just saying (My friend) calls body parts (funnier/more interesting) terms than (whatever terms we use at home)

rannum posted:something tells me this story wont have a happy ending! On a happier note, my favorites were the baby crows. They'd get raised together in an annual flock to be released together, and you had to be careful not to talk to them or they'd imprint too strongly on humans. Still, they were super smart and knew immediately when you came to their enclosure to feed them, and when I leaned over to feed ones lower down I'd always get a few hopping on my back like 'hurry up!!!' They liked to play with my hair. :3

Making a character that slut-shames the two main characters and having them put up with it sure is a choice. His Divine Shadow posted:That doesn't look like a happy marriage. Gonna be honest, Mämmilä's getting closer and closer to being like Funky Winkerbean, where it's a small town full of assholes and only misery ever seems to happen in their lives. I know the tone's supposed to be melancholic, but I feel like it 's been overshooting the mark for a while now.

Unfortunately we're hitting what I consider the worst part of the series, where the story revolves around Rane being a piece of poo poo and the tension in Syrjänen family. Luckily the series finds a more comedic footing again towards the end. Speaking of the end, we now have about four months to go with 123 pages left.

I'm hoping that the bewildered look on Thel's face means that the joke is that she's worried some kid taught Dolly some actual swears. So I had one hell of a week at work. (I work in a dental office and this last week of Foob has basically been a documentary and that's just the beginning.) Now I'm home and feeling kind of bad, but there's always a way to make it worse!
