Yeah I meant it as "That's a neat look at a different time" not so much in a snarky way.

But still it feels to me a little old fashioned even for the 80s. I don't remember my mom writing a bunch of letters, but I might just not have seen that.

I do remember she always wanted me to write thank you notes for Christmas/birthday gifts and I hated it.

The strips we're currently reading originally ran in the mid-'90s. I also do not recall my mother writing a lot of letters at that time. Nor were phone calls considered prohibitively expensive.

If someone is reading this...
I must have failed.
The mother in FOOB could be referring to letters to the editor she writes and mails to newspapers each morning, detailing both her mundane household grievances and her numerous bizarre conspiracy theories.

This took some doing

In the original the juice bar was called "Makusi mukaan", which means "according to your taste" ("makusi" = the genetive second person form of "maku", taste" and "mukaan" = according to, but also along with, bring along etc). The truck's shadow was covering the first two letters in "makusi", and the visible part was therefore "kusi" = piss.

So we have "According to your taste" or "takeaway piss".



Interestingly in Finnish the food-related euphemism for money isn't "cheese" or "cheddar", but "jam".

And Danielle was murdering and eating people within a week or two of being transported to Hellworld, turning into a rabbit, and being mistaken for her dead counterpart.

I think she eventually got a memory dump from her counterpart's ghost, I'm not sure.

Lindesfarne is also a human who came through the portal, with the primary difference being that it happened to Lindesfarne as an infant, which is presumably part of the reason why Turvy has not spontaneously become human.
