FeloniousDrunk posted:I work for a university library, one of my best projects ever was a site for digitized old newspapers (I don't digitize, I just made the content management and display system). Anyhow, I browse it from time to time when things are slow and sometimes there are comix! This one's really charming, gosh - and it feels more naturalistic than most old strips back then, like I can imagine this entire thing happening word-for-word with real little kids. Best part is how shocked Tag looks in the first panel - I know exactly how he feels, I think I did the exact same thing once as a kid. Not even thinking about it or the fact that it meant my friend was going to get hurt, and now Jay is crying and oh heck, I hecked up

Thorn (October 4-5, 1983)  A Russian pig. This strip really is weird. Nina's Adventures (October 31, 1993)  We all get old. Lucky Cow (February 19-21, 2004)    Strip 1: I had to look up what "greasing his palms" mean. I wonder if bribing is common in fast food. Strip 2/3: Incidentally, "Lucky Cow" did break the Guinness World's Record for the World's Largest Comic Strip

Piranha Club Dick Tracy  Judge Parker  9 Chickweed Lane  Today's comic must be self-referential. It's features incomprehensible writing that is stuck in the 1930's. Pibgorn  I guess I'll ask... When exactly did Juliet have time to shop for a wedding dress? (And Brooke should probably update his copyright in his panel template.)

Tiggum posted:Uh, what is going on here? What's a water control office? Why is chief Dharma worried about being recognised? What are they bidding on? Just, what does any of this mean? I have no idea what the word the General Manager uses in the first panel to describe the place where weird stuff is happening is supposed to mean. Water control office is just a random guess. Presumably it's someplace Dharma visits regularly enough that they'd notice him snooping around. They're bidding on salaries- the implication being that whoever bids the lowest will get a job. Hey, beats unpaid internships. I'm not sure whether this is supposed to be a serious attack on Ted Rall or just a light-hearted jest. But then again actual Ted Rall cartoons have the same problem. Comics (November 16th 2006) Back to normal. Boondocks  Doonesbury  F-Minus  FoxTrot  Non Sequitur  --- Eyebeam  At first I thought that was a skirt. It's All Right Chief Dharma  The comic seems to have taken a turn for the topical.

It's a topical social issue too. That part of the sequence is most likely intended as a criticism of Hyeh-Ran's assumption while also noting the absurdity of some of the discrimination that goes on under the purview of having a correct opinion on the matter. South Korea gets a lot of flak for plastic surgery culture, but in all honesty it's at about the rate one would expect for a country that wealthy and urbanized. I fully expect that were you to look at the plastic surgery rates of California, Florida, or New York individually they'd be at the same or higher level as what goes on in South Korea.

Fingerpori - Did you see any Finnish NHL stars during your trip to America? - Of course! Saku gave me an autograph. And Teemu, too! Teemukin is the pun here. -kin is a suffix that translates well to "too", "as well" etc. On the other hand, teemuki means a "tea mug" (a rare case of a Finnish word being not incomprehensible to English  ), with -n being the suffix for the accusative (object) case.Not a very funny pun, as I remember making the same one when I was about 6 Also, if you're not familiar with the subject, Saku Koivu and Teemu Selänne are people referred to here. tiistai fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Jan 9, 2014 |

Gil By being sheltered and not having exposure to the world outside of popular media basically. Retail  I'm curious too. I'm gonna need some illustrative examples here because my take on her is she's a smooth talker but otherwise kind of incompetent at actually achieving her goals. Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  Probably an electronics processing and assembly plant in Taiwan. Dustin  Maybe you should ask if you can pay with two cows and a chicken. On the Fastrack  I gotta agree. What the hell. Safe Havens  No, named after Leonardo DiCaprio. What young woman immediately thinks of TMNT?

I never followed the Ninja Turtles, but I've only ever seen one referred to as Leonardo. I don't think "da Vinci" is part of the name. That kid is named for the real-life Leonardo da Vinci. Lio catchup.    Red and Rover catchup.    Bleh. I've seen both of these strips be good in the past but that appears to have been odd days.

Dude, if you're not getting credit on your account for power outages then you're not dealing with them right. You don't even have to be a dick about it, just nicely ask "So, can I get a rebate for this time I have been with out service." It's going to be low like 5 bucks for a day with out power or such but you can totally do it.
