I think Doonesbury got it down to two weeks. But sure, individual artists have their own lead times. I know Holbrook works a couple months ahead of time.

My local university library still has a few computers with CRT monitors running Windows 2000. Getting to use IE 5 to browse the catalogue is a weird sort of anti-nostalgic treat.

My Lovely Horse posted:Libraries still relevant, provide modern services, yeah yeah, but look at the approximately late 80s PC and the tube monitor. I'm gonna take this as a library budgeting joke. Even libraries that focus on popular materials are going to be a treasure trove of historical materials. And they're free and easily accessible. I'm choosing to take the "joke" that way since it's too early to start yelling obscenities at my computer. A fun game at libraries is to go around looking at the computers to find the really old ones and seeing which tasks/areas have gotten left behind. In mine, it's the computers used to search the catalog. Staff in two departments still have CRTs but they're apparently happy with them. I'm going to give Piraro credit for drawing a librarian with a ponytail and turtleneck instead of a bun and cardigan. Speaking of, it's almost time for me to leave and I need to find my cardigan.

Fingerpori - Uncle Allan, blow us some more bubbles! - Well... maybe a few, then... Puhaltaa, to blow, is a slang term for stealing. Volkswagen Beetle has many regional nicknames, it turns out. In Sweden and Finland they're called Bubbles. Fok_It  That's not an idiom in English, right? It means that you wish you could be in some place unnoticed, secretly listening in on what the people there are talking about or seeing what's going to happen to them.

Previous evidence puts her in at least her fifties: http://www.gocomics.com/nancy/2012/11/27 and http://www.gocomics.com/nancy/2012/09/30 TastesLikeChicken posted:I'd want to stay in the basement too if the adults always shouted every single sentence that wasn't a question at me. This is just how people talk in comics! It's either exclamation marks all the time, or no punctuation at all! See, a period being just a small dot and comics being printed in poor quality on lovely paper, they'll often disappear, so it's easier to just leave them out or replace them! It's become part of the style now though, so some probably do it intentionally for effect!

It's astonishing that English and Finnish have such similar idioms, really. Keeping up with peculiarities in a language like English is Full-Time Work Comix.

We want to be modern and reach our patrons, but it's so hard when were stuck with crappy SirsiDynix catalogs that don't even let you use the "back" button. And we're stuck with them because so many librarians are OK with lovely products and refuse to change.
