Prediction for Luann: the traffic delay is caused by a horrific accident that the kids will see up close, making them stop and think about their own mortality. Luann and Australia-man will realize life is short and precious, so they will passionately finger and gently caress each other in the nearest gas station's bathroom and say their tearful goodbyes to go look for relationships in their respective countries. Quill realizes later that he is gay and having a long distance relationship with a woman was his way of trying to deny his true sexual identity.They will remain close friends and often share their interesting travels and experiences through regular hand written letters. Milquetoast and Rosa will see the accident as a wake-up call to settle down before it's too late, as they are both desperately lonely. They will have boring and awkward missionary sex in the limo while the driver watches and pleasures himself. Rosa will get pregnant and choose to keep the child, sealing the marriage in stone. Gunther will get a factory job to pay the bills and Rosa will work part-time once the child is off at public school. They will be loving parents and reasonably happy lovers and will end up falling in with solid friends from work. Bernice and Delta will bond over feeding the needy family and then have a magical evening at prom. As they slow-dance cheek to cheek, they will both blush when they realize their attraction to each other. They will date and experiment until heading off to good colleges and getting degrees. They will lose touch for years, though each fondly remembering their summer of sexual awakening . A chance reuniting at an airport will see them married, successful and happy. Tiffany will finish high school, and find friends that don't poo poo on her constantly and continue to grow as a person. She will delay college to enter the marines where she will excel in Special Forces and Linguistics, and become a war hero when saving the lives of thirty fellow soldiers through bravery and action above and beyond the call of duty during the police action in Turkmenistan. When aliens begin a shadow war to overthrow the world government, Tiffany will get an offer to join a multi-national anti-alien task force named X-Com. After many missions she will make the ultimate sacrifice and save mankind through her selfless death that will put an end to the alien menace. She will die with the knowledge that her life achieved true greatness. One can dream. E: Brad will die while fighting a wildfire, which will be for the best, as his liver would have soon developed cirrhosis on account of rampant alcoholism.

Peanuts (April 20-22, 1967)   ...and unfortunately, she'd be forced to aim for the teeth. Funky Winkerbean    Not "The man who murdered my father, John Darling"? It's like hearing somebody forget half the words of "Who Let The Dogs Out?" You really didn't want to hear it in the first place, but you sure as hell didn't want to hear it like that. Popeye    Speaking of things you didn't want to hear in the way that you heard them... Rip Haywire    We'll catch up with the rest of my goody box later today.

The waifu and I finally watched the first half of the 1966 Modesty Blaise movie, and I have to admit, it's not too bad. It starts out pretty campy, but then gets moving along nicely. The biggest problem I have with it is that Monica Vitti was cast as Modesty, and her thick Italian (I think?) accent just doesn't mesh correctly in my head as the way I hear Modesty speak in the comics. Looks-wise, she nailed the part for sure. I still think they should've cast a Brit actress for the part, though. Willy Garvin (played by Terrence Stamp) is dead on though -- both with the heavy cockney accent, and constant knife throwing. It's got a good plot, but it gets confusing in spots in my opinion, first because of some (I felt unnecessary) story complexities combined with gobs of heavy foreign accents from everyone. There's a veritable cornucopia including, British, French, Italian, Dutch, and even some sort of Eastern European, and we're only in the first half. So far, overall, it's pretty decent. It's a typical 1966 Bond-like movie, and if you want to check out truly bizarre '60s costumes (even more crazy than Gerry Anderson's U.F.O. from about the same time), and tons and tons of pop art everywhere, this is the movie. Here's the trailer: http://youtu.be/IN9uh1bSsYo We'll watch the rest tonight. Anyway Saturday Morning Comix! Non Sequitur  THANKS OBAMA!  Heavenly Nostrils  I wonder if next week will be a week of reruns, too. 9 Chickweed Lane 4/19/2003  It's 2003, and he's not using a word processor? Oh right, Brooke... Zits  Kevin & Kell  The inept assassins are foiled again.

I need to watch that movie  Another 1966 movie that I think must have been inspired by Modesty Blaise is How to Steal a Million, starring Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. They're both spot on for looks, and the story, while it doesn't fit the backstory of Modesty Blaise, still feels like a pre-good guys version of Modesty and Willie. (click for larger, especially to see O'Toole's face in the fourth image)     BlankIsBeautiful posted:9 Chickweed Lane 4/19/2003 In some old interview that Brooke did somewhere (I can't find it back and don't really want to look for it more), he says that whenever the name "Rose" appears in 9CL, it's the Rose from "Rose is Rose." That the mom character and Rose are old friends. (Now, aren't you just thrilled to know that?)

Bloom County Alright, televangelist time!  That'd be Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, and Oral Roberts, while "gang of four" refers to a group of dissidents from China's Cultural Revolution. Calvin And Hobbes   Tank McNamara: The first sports-centric comic strip? Even as I type that, I'm sure there was something in the '30s to take that title.  Tarzan could probably use some context.  And Graham Harrop brings us Ten Cats.

gently caress Your Website posted:I'll have to take it on the word of those that claim such that reading this all at once like a graphic novel or children's book series (apparently the way it was intended) it's great, but reading it a page a day (you know, like a comic strip) it's boring, incomprehensible garbage that never seems to go anywhere, indistinguishable in quality from Zachary Nixon Johnson. I, on the other hand am absolutely hooked to Lost Side of Suburbia, or at least this storyline. For me it works even as a daily strip.

Gil That's legit how I draw and I don't have an art degree. Retail  Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  I use to climb up on counters and shelves all the time to get things down before I was tall enough. I guess I should be grateful I didn't have a naggy nanny dog telling me not to. Dustin  This strip was brought to you by two middle aged men. On the Fastrack  That giftbasket's going straight in the trashcan. Safe Havens  Pretty convenient that shift in behavior happened over the course of your trip there and you didn't have to do anything?

Which is far more than can be said for ZNJ, or anything Brooke McEldowney has done for the past few years, or, honestly, 90% of the Jane's World endlessly recursive nested flashback festival. If there's any coherent narrative to any of those, it sure as gently caress isn't making it into the comics.
