Fingerpori Free coffee after fueling Technically it says "free coffee for fuelers" but apparently in English a fueler only supplies fuel, unlike in Finnish where it also means someone who fuels. I'm guessing this fueler is the person who provides liquids and whatnot for the ski team during the competition or something to that effect. I'm not familiar with sports lingo.  Speaking of sports and other semi-important stuff, Fok_It  "Zucchini" was originally sutsisatsi, referencing a well-known (dare I say popular) children's song from 1993. I had that album. e: Forgot to mention, the Finnish verbs for "to care/bother/feel like" were jaksaa, viitsiä and kehdata, often grouped together when thinking of excuses not to do something. Jaksaa means "to have enough strength/energy" or "to manage" to do something. A very useful and concise verb that all teenagers love. Viitsiä translates well enough to "to bother" or "to care enough" to do something. Kehdata has a few different meanings, and "to feel like" doing something is a good one here. Other meanings include but are not limited to "to dare", "to be able to bring oneself", "to not be ashamed" or "to have the impudence" to do something.

Bloom County Ah, a penguin's schnoz on the arm: truly a charming sensation.  Hoo boy. Here come the full-blown neuroses. Calvin And Hobbes    Cheap Thrills Cuisine  This just makes me want some aloo gobi. Domestic Abuse is not nearly as dark as the title would suggest. I'll leave the Mike Lester joke to someone else.  The Doozies' artwork really reminds me of the guy who contributed to Nickelodeon Magazine in the '90s. I wish I knew his name.

tiistai posted:Fingerpori It's a reference to blood doping ("veritankkaus"), and also ties nicely to the 2001 doping scandal involving the Finnish ski team. They got caught using Hemohes (which, as far as I remember, is used to hide the effects of blood doping, as it lowers hemoglobin levels) and one of the twists of the story was that a doctor's bag belonging to the Finnish Ski Association was found at a gas station, containing some discriminating evidence... hence the dude the with the bag.

These are comics produced by an irrational mind. They are Irrational Mind Comix. Pooch Café  I hope Zed sticks around long enough to bark out some old-timey hobo lingo, but I'm worried these bakehead sweetbacks will grab too much scenery and get them all sloughed by the bulls. Ballard Street  This is how I feel about the bo jigger right now. If I can't stop talking west I'm liable to end up spearing biscuits in the jungle without even the makins to twist a dream.

I'm guessing Jane is going to have to blow her roommate in front of her mom to prove that she's straight. Then Jane's mom will reveal that she knew Jane was gay all along and then start making out with the new girl. Either that or some crisis will appear right before things get to the big reveal, allowing Jane to hide behind her beard until the next time. Those are the only two possible scenarios.

Tiggum posted:I'm honestly starting to hate this comic. It's full of obnoxious arseholes and recycles jokes more than Garfield does. I liked it for a while, but it really didn't take long to wear out its welcome. Rather like Liō or Scary Gary, it's funny enough when you haven't seen much of it, but it just never really moves beyond its basic premise and just keeps reusing the same things over and over. At this point, Williams is feeling his way into what turns out to be the format for the long haul, so if we make it to '27 or '28 and it's still giving you a headache, the thirty years that follow that are probably going to be a slog.

Midnight Moth posted:poo poo, you're right. Dustin started in 2010 and there's been no development other than making GBS threads on Dustin once a week instead of every other day. This may be the premise of a few other cartoon strips as well, when you think about it.

What, and trying to out someone you've been on one date with to their mother isn't? Skye barely knows Jane, knows nothing about Jane's mother or what Jane's reasons may be for not telling her she's gay. If they'd been on more than one date they may have had a chance to discuss it and Jane could explain her reasons and Skye could then decide if she was OK with that or not, but at this point she's just assuming that she knows best and butting in to Jane's life.

Sometimes staying in the closet is a personal choice a person makes because they don't want their filial relationship to turn into 9 Chickweed Lane. It probably sounds a little bizarre from your perspective, given (I'm assuming) you've grown up in a Westernized queer culture that considers coming out of the closet to be The Most Important Thing. But it tends to be more common in, say, East Asian countries, where a person can want to have gay sex without having any interest in queer culture. Kind of like how there's people who are into BDSM elements but don't want to join the greater BDSM community.
