Ballard Street  That doesn't sound like too bad an idea, actually. Get closer to nature, feel more self-reliant, and Elliot probably loses weight puking up all that pesticide-covered grass.

Manuel Calavera posted:Dilbert Bitchtits McGee posted:Red? Rover? A little help? A test using two buttons that are identical to each other aside from the color has determined that users will click the orange button more frequently for no rational reason. This causes Dilbert, who considers himself a rational person, to be perturbed about the concept of human intelligence. His boss then instructs him to use the button that people will click less frequently on the site due to his own personal preferences. This is a bad decision, and it confirms Dilbert's fears about human intelligence, but he doesn't mind because he has given up on the concept of thinking as a result of the experience he describes in panel one. This is, in some way, a joke.

Bloom County I don't really want to think about the sexual politics of Bloom County in enough depth to come up with a one-liner for this.  What lovely wall-paper! Calvin And Hobbes  Another habit I picked up from C&H, to the displeasure of several teachers.  Cheap Thrills Cuisine  HUBRIS! A non-copy-pasted version of Dude and Dude?

 I've got a big head of steam to let off! Luann   1. These idiots are frequently left in charge of a small child. 2. I realize now that Brad is calling Toni his beauty, but on first reading I thought he was referring to himself. Either way it's kind of a gross line. 3. They were totally planning to climb all up on top of each other with a small child right there in the room. Apartment 3-G   Bolle sure has a way of depicting extreme emotional distress. Pros & Cons   Sally Forth   The Amazing Spider-Man  Seems like that last panel should be avatarized, but I'm not sure how it could best be accomplished, what with the hair and the hands and all.  Nah, no need to worry about it, Pete. Once Tony Stark finds out JJJ is stealing his bit, I'm sure the whole thing will sort itself out.

Just going to copy most of this from the Kickstarter update, but on Wednesday, March 26th, at LA's "Cinerama Dome," that comic strip documentary STRIPPED will be having their premiere. Tickets available here. The kicker is that they'll be giving away 10 copies of the poster Bill Watterson made for them (though they haven't mentioned dimensions). Good luck to any LA-region goons who read this thread. Here are articles on Watterson's involvement (I haven't read through them yet) at NY Times, USA Today, Washington Post (this one apparently has a short interview with Watterson), Time, NPR, Rolling Stone, Slate, The Wire, People, Buzzfeed, and Mashable.

Moomin question; I remember Mymble being referred to as "the Mymble" when she was first introduced. What, exactly, is the "the" for? Is "Mymble" a title or a role or something, or was it a translation thing? It seems to have gone away over time.

I like how they forgot all about their friend they called in to save their asses, like, 3 seconds after they didn't immediately need him anymore. Also, Sally must somehow be new to parenting if she heard a 12-year-old girl screaming "This is the worst thing ever!" and didn't immediately assume it was some trivial bullshit.

Is "Mymble" a title or a role or something, or was it a translation thing? It seems to have gone away over time. I don't know about any translation stuff, but in all the Moomin books, a lot of people get interchangeably called the same word as their actual name, and "the ______" as a species description. You have various different Hemulens and Fillyjonks and so on, but when somebody is talking to a particular individual one, they might call them by name as "Hemulen" or "Mrs Fillyjonk." The Mymble is first described as "the Mymble's daughter" because we meet her big round multiple-baby-having mother, who is The Mymble, but then all of that family are also Mymbles, in the species sense. So the girl is variously called The Mymble's Daughter, or The Mymble, or just Mymble as a name, and there isn't much rhyme or reason to why/when she gets called any of those things. It's one of the things I enjoy about the writing. Everybody is some sort of weird little animal but a person at the same time, and that style of naming seems to highlight that concept for me.

SubNat posted:Moomin When this story was posted a thread or two ago, it was one of my first exposures to the Moomins (after the Martian storyline). It kind of puts the whole story in a new light now that I know Snorkmaiden is usually off falling in love with some new man in every story and the tables are being turned here.

For all of you who're enjoying Moomin, I strongly recommend exploring Tove Jansson's other works. The Summer Book is a really lovely (and slim) book. Of course, I'm a sucker for anything with fjords.

I think I realized Moomin was popular in Japan when reading the Manga Berserk. Their trolls weren't quite as cute as the real Moomins.
