Wanamingo posted:Nancy I don't know what's bothering me most about this one. Is it the terrible drama? The terrible... joke? at the end to lighten the mood? That it's in loving Nancy? The answer is all of the above and more. Stop ruining Nancy with this loving tripe, Gilchrist. Phil Fumble doesn't need a loving tragic backstory and biceps the size of my head. Sluggo doesn't need a tragic backstory and a desire to pull himself up by his bootstraps. The comic doesn't need drama, it doesn't need memorial strips to every dead country musician or to every dead movie star from the '50's. Most of all, it sure as gently caress doesn't need you. Jesus I am getting angry about newspaper comics.

What he should have done was not give the kid a dime, go out and buy the same present he was going to anyway, and say it's from both of them. Mom gets to be proud of the kid, the kid gets to give a bigger present then he could ever afford on his own, he gets to be a huge rear end in a top hat to both of them and neither of them are allowed to get mad about it.

I really despise Candorville, it's one of the worst comics posted here not because it's a creepy fetish strip like Holbrook and Brooke's poo poo or destroying a national treasure strip by strip like Gilchrist is doing to Nancy, but because it's wordy as gently caress, the art is lazy clip art and none of the paper thin characters are likeable. If I couldn't post Cul De Sac and The Creeps, I wouldn't post Candorville, or Broom Hilda, but let's face it, it's just more grist for the mill, maybe you guys can get some comedy fodder out of them and make these sow's ears into purses. Cul-de-sac is itself a buried treasure.  Candorville Ugh.  Christ, all that loving monologue. And what kinda weak as gently caress joke is that? gently caress you, Bell. Bell-end. Broom Hilda Well, at least that tree in the second panel is nice.

Admittedly, with the art style and typical size of comics in newspapers these days, piercings would be difficult to render on Dethany in anything other than an extreme close up and not look like poo poo. Also vagina flowers. I bet she's an O'keefe fan at heart.

Shouldn't that be cornerstone of pest extermination in this world, just insectivores eating the loving pests? Agh, you're annoying Holbrook.

TVs Ian posted:Generally with a savings account, you can only take money in and out through the bank, or transfer it to your other accounts. A checking account lets you get the debit card, checks, direct deposit, etc. There can be fees involved, usually if you keep a low balance or to get actual paper checks, some banks charge a lot of little fees for other stuff. The main reason you can't get a checking account with bad credit is so the banks don't get screwed if you overdraft. That's not an issue with a savings account. Wait you can't get a bank account if you have a bad credit rating? Even one without any credit? Oh, it's the overdraft, most accounts here don't allow overdrafts at all so that isn't an issue. IIRC here in Sweden we legislated that you should be able to take out your money without the banks taking a fee, which means no monthly cost for accounts and no cost for ATM and other withdrawals, paying bills is also free, but internet shopping and ATM cards have yearly costs(~20€/yr each). Of course if you're a student or below 21 years old they'll probably waive most/all fees. AFAIK the only difference between savings and non-savings accounts is the interest. Also no one uses paper checks at all.

I've asked about it and I'm still not really sure what a "checking account" is. It seems like in America you have to pay just to have a normal bank account, which is crazy. Savings accounts aren't really meant to have money drawn from them regularly. Sometimes they have higher interest rates and are less likely to have fees associated with them, but you don't get checks or debit cards that draft from them (often called "check cards" here, though that's becoming outdated). Checking accounts are specifically meant just to be a place to hold your money, have lower interest rates, sometimes have fees associated with them if your credit was bad/nonexistant, but the advantage is you can draft money out of them pretty easily. I have two savings accounts, neither of which I can access from an ATM. They both have higher interest rates than my checking account, but the checking account can be accessed from ATMs and my debit card is backed by Mastercard and useful anywhere that takes MC. No fees because when I opened them I had okay credit and fulfilled somewhat sizable minimum opening deposits. The account I had in college would charge a monthly fee so that, even if I overdrafted, they were making money off me the whole time to make up for it.

Hel posted:AFAIK the only difference between savings and non-savings accounts is the interest. That's the way I've always thought it worked. When I moved to the USA the main reason I couldn't figure out the difference is that it's pretty much impossible to earn any significant amount of interest on any type of bank account here - if you have more than $10,000 to dump in a long-term savings account you might even be able to earn 0.1% on it.  Stupid economy. At the same time I was getting 6.75% on my savings account back home in New Zealand and under those circumstances it's worthwhile to have a separate savings account. Here, not so much.
