Midnight Moth posted:Not Retail You said it was a "great idea", a normal person would interpret that as a "yes", how do you expect her to e-mail your receipt without an e-mail address? and oh no, you might have to click "unsubscribe" on something, oh, the horror retail and dustin both exist in this weird symbiotic relationship of awful human beings. on the one hand, if all shoppers were half as annoying as they are in dustin, the shittiness of the employees in retail would be somewhat excusable. on the other, if employees in the real world were as smug and patronizing as they are in retail, the whining in dustin would be justified. instead both strips are just full of jerks being jerks to people who are just trying to get through their day and I wish I didn't read either of them but for some reason I just have to and I hate it. I could have wasted that 30 seconds of reading on something fun. I could have lost at a game of candy crush in that time. Instead, I read Dustin, then I wrote this post about it. God drat it.

Or it was the syndicate colourist that decided to make him ginger against the original intention and shading all his hair in is the only way the artist can get him to stop. I went back a few sundays, and his hair's dark in those. There's a weird hierarchy in newspaper comics, the whole industry could use some Introspection Comix.

Midnight Moth posted:Slylock Fox "Operator" and payphones? Which decade is this strip set in anyway? Fingerpori  - The professional I ordered is here to help move the piano Muuttaa is a nice verb. It means "to move" in the sense of moving/changing to another (semi-)permanent residence, mostly referring to a new home. It also means "to change/modify/turn/transform".

don Jaime posted:This is weird. There was an earlier strip not too long ago that showed boys running to watch the circus come to town, one of whom was holding his pants up because he had been relieving himself when word came. This is a wild west show, and there's no mention of peeing, but there's still a kid holding up his pants. Looks like Williams wasn't above recycling strips. I was reading that second one as a little kid wearing hand-me-downs that are maybe a size or two too large for him, one of those poor family tropes from way back. The tip-off is that all of the kids' clothes are either too large or too small. The first one you mentioned could swing either way, because when a baby brother's gotta go, he's gotta go.

Cul-de-sac Unfortunately, because the brilliant and talented Richard Thompson was struck with Parkinson's disease and had to end the strip prematurely, we will see some re-runs from time to time. However; it's new to SOMEone, and an old favorite to someone else, so no matter what, I'll keep posting Cul-de-sac.

The beat in the third panel sells it for me, because I see her thinking "oh, wait..." and the sales person thinking "yep, penny just dropped, corporate's gonna sell that list sooo fast" so then the last panel doesn't seem quite so annoying and is even mildly amusing in a pluggery kind of way. Not that anything like that has ever happened to me and I ended up having to hit unsubscribe like eighty times or burn the email address, or anything.

I was wondering if there was a step down from "leave a two year old watched by a four year old" and I guess "show no sign of worry or interest while the four year old is very clearly not watching the two year old" just about does the trick. It's one way to teach your friends they can't expect you to babysit at a moment's notice, for sure. e: wasn't this also the strip where they keep the household chemicals in the child-accessible kitchen cupboards? That's shaping up to be a lot more radical solution!

Apartment 3-G  Now, the story of Flag the Deer is not ringing a bell for me, but it seems Tommie is familiar with it.
