The only thing that I like about Drabble is that the kids tricked the dad into letting them have a pet duck by telling him it's a rare parrot from the amazon that looks like a duck to fool predators. So the duck learned how to perch on stuff so he can stay in the house.

That wasn't just, like, a basic life skill back then? ... Hhhhuh. I never knew that one was particularly in reference to something. I mean, it makes sense in the context of Ray's other calls, but somehow the magically boring Drabbleforce kept me from caring enough to look it up.

Darthemed posted:Bloom County I had forgotten to do a historical note a few days ago, so: This is the point in history where Liberace died, AZT was approved, and ACT UP was born. Oh, and Reagan finally got around to mentioning AIDS in a public speech. Lotta media folks weren't sure how to talk about the disease, especially since it was still so stigmatized as one of gays (and the occasional stray kid who got a bad transfusion) that Congress made it illegal to use federal funds for AIDS prevention that at all discussed homosexuality as an acceptable thing. (is a pretty useful overview) Darthemed posted:Bloom County 20 years into the future in this strip's time is seven years ago right now.

DoubleDonut posted:What the hell is with all of Greg Evans' villains being more sympathetic than the protagonists? It's come up before, but basically the really villainous stuff they did is already in the past. You're supposed to be aware of them as villains already, so the strip doesn't feel like it needs to keep demonstrating their villainy. It just makes a vague gesture in the direction of them potentially doing something bad, maybe, and you're supposed to make the rest of the connections yourself.

Not wanting to bother with such noisy and violent people as earthlings, they just up and left. The silly stuff about the glasses was exaggerated.

Fingerpori He's reciting the card. Those fuckers seriously do this though. A couple months back I heard the mail slot clang, went to the door, saw the notice and opened the door. Nobody in the hallway. Took about 15 seconds altogether. Went for my shoes, looked around in the building and outside, nothing. I think they just loving ran away.

I can't count the number of times I've checked my mailbox on my way to work and found a card telling me I need to collect a package from the post office because I wasn't home to receive it. The only up-side is that at least it's better than what happens when the package is just slightly larger than my mailbox, because at least if they leave it at the post office it doesn't get crushed and mangled.

Gil Oh god help us it's on a cassette player too. Although really I expected him to be a vinyl purist. Retail  Man, gently caress Stuart for helping Marla find qualified replacements. "Do you know how much I hate you, Stuart?" Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  "I hit a paywall somewhere after the fifth article. Now I have to clear cookies and try again." Dustin  Steve Kelley voices his dissatisfaction with the Olympics through every character in the strip. On the Fastrack  Nice, but not quite as good as this goon-made blingee gif.  Safe Havens  Oh well I guess we don't have to worry about that outswimming a great white shark thing after all! Maybe your great-grandson will if he's still interested.

Piranha Club  Dick Tracy   Judge Parker   9 Chickweed Lane  Did Bert really wait for Jerky McHeadwound to wander back into the house, rummage through the closets, find the suit and change into it before he answered the question?  Pibgorn   If the sped part is true, this would be one of the rare times that anything has happened quickly in this comic.

How dumb do you have to be to try to forge an episode of an old TV show to sell to the guy who was in it? There's no way you can line up everything with his memory, even without making a boneheaded mistake like miscasting him. And don't most people learn about The Entertainer from watching The Sting? Everyone here has seen The Sting, right? Lio is still getting assed by his cat. Saturday should end with his neutering.

It isn't a terrible idea for a scheme.

It is when you have to deliver the product or ditch the victim, and hope in either case that he can't find you in the movie theater you live in.

I was just thinking, is it a bad deal to pay the same for less coffee if cream is added? I just got this hunch that cream might be more expensive per volume than coffee. So he's not actually being stiffed.

Nobody knocks, nobody rings the doorbell, just a "sorry you weren't home" note dropped through the mail slot. I've complained at my local post office numerous times and apparently the issue is that the postmen don't bother taking these packages with them most of the time.
