Viivi and Wagner :woop:

I want to see how that works in English. Should work just fine, I hope. It's one of my favourite comics, not the least because Juba (Jussi Tuomola) doesn't feel the need to include jokes in each and every strip. And because sometimes Wagner is just so goofy and adorable idiot.

Also is there some reason they aren't getting a cab or a ride from a parent? Surely one of them brought a phone. I guess if you hire a limo and it has a problem they just tell you to kick rocks.

I just looked and there are two phones shown. They were in a traffic jam and the limo got bumped so they crossed a field to catch a bus. This is the dumbest plot that doesn't involve John Darling.

Ed sits at the window watching Dusin mow the lawn. In his hand: a pad of yellow paper and a pen. Points are distributed based on various metrics: technique, poise, crosshatching aesthetic. Afterwards Ed goes outside with a small ruler, measuring every square foot of his lawn to ensure consistency. Uncut blades of grass result in an automatic fail. Dustin stands on the porch nervously.

Years later Ed loses his law license after attempting to bribe a judge to let off his client, a sexual predator and close personal friend. Because of this he loses his pension and with it any sense of retirement financial security. Shortly after he's diagnosed with terminal colon cancer and is relocated to the palliative care facility in the city's hospital. Ed is sick, broke, lonely.

Dustin has successfully avoided visiting his father, even though he's aware of his dire state. Tacked to a small cork-board beside Dustin's apartment entrance is a yellow piece of paper with the score 4 out of 10 written in black ink, and the word "sub-par" scrawled across in red.

They were at a pool party a while back and Luann was late. Everyone was having a good time until Luann arrived and then suddenly it was time to poo poo on Tiffany again. Delta and Bernice are obnoxious in their own ways, but no one's as bad as the DeGroot family. Not even Gunther.

There was nothing wrong with the limo, it was just stuck in traffic so they decided it would be quicker to catch the bus from across a field. I have no idea where they are that they could be stuck in traffic whle next to an empty field with clear roads going the same way on the other side, but there you are.

It works as an in-joke that way, but it's still one of the best-known classic self-help books ever, along with "How to Win Friends and Influence People" which was also from the 1930s. Both of them have been reprinted numerous times and still sell pretty well, from what I understand.
