In parts of the US (Massachusetts where I grew up had it, I don't know about other states) you need to get a worker's permit to get a job if you're under 18/not yet graduated from high school. It's generally super easy to get and takes like 10 minutes at city hall. My dad made me get one when I was 14 so I could start working like a good little American or something. I think it's actually more for employers to prove they aren't exploiting child labor or something than for kids since they need it when you give them your tax info/etc.

Fingerpori Fok_It  In Finnish, the last line was literally "This isn't making you take a piss", meaning "I'm not trying to trick you / I'm not joking around". Thankfully English has a similar-ish phrase.

The Dinette Set is my favourite comic in the papers today, but I would never post it. Combined with Ballard Street my posts would just reek too much of Quiet Desperation Comix. Pooch Café  There are no spoken lines in this comic. It is just a dog silently running in circles on a rooftop. Ballard Street  An overdressed man silently walking in circles on a lawn.

The way it's setup, even by setting a max bid, you're setting yourself up for failure. On top of that, you're probably going to end up spending more as you get bid up to your max.

The way it's setup, even by setting a max bid, you're setting yourself up for failure. On top of that, you're probably going to end up spending more as you get bid up to your max. The practice is sniping and it often results in the lowest possible price because there is no time left for anyone to bid again. Also, if an item has 0 bids and someone bids on it, that makes the item look more desirable. By waiting until the end, you avoid the attention of other bidders. Some people have bots or something that do the sniping for them. Now that's going too far, I say. Mr. Squishy posted:

I'm not. They load fine and are huge images so legible enough.

Unfortunately, inspector Danger's lack of a warrant resulted in the evidence being thrown out of court. A youtube video circulating his numerous slurs against little people was released anonymously, resulting in a full internal investigation and eventual dismissal.

So the assumption here was that the guy who just escaped from prison and was on the lam managed to get an actual cane for his hurt leg and would have stopped somewhere to buy a toothbrush.

Because he's sick of hearing her talk about how she keeps getting free comics because she knows someone in the military. No, see, an evil person would have angry eyebrows all the time. That guy's wearing the ubiquitous haggard false smile that half-heartedly masks his complete emotional death and resignation to the unceasing tortures of life. That shows he's good.

Helicity posted:Why don't you install a sub-routine to fix his broken neck, and while you're at it explain the plot because I have no idea how we hopped from immortal celebrities -> brain ninjas -> flying a space garbage-truck. poo poo comic. I swear we must be missing strips. It's just too incoherent. Wanamingo says he's not skipping them so maybe it's a fault with gocomics or the author, but I just feel like there's no way we're getting every page. Either that or the author is the single worst person on earth with pacing. I think his memory was wiped and he was dumped back on Earth or wherever he is now while investigating the immortal celebrity chick, then the ninjas were the representation of his brain psychosomatically fighting against them trying to dredge up the destroyed/buried memories. Now they're on the way back to the celebrity's place to figure out why his memory was jacked up. Also the bikini hoverboarders that got the crap beaten out of them earlier are now on his side, I guess? The story itself isn't too complicated when you read it all at once, it's just told in the worst way and like I said it gives me the distinct feeling that I'm missing at least several panels between each page.
