To be fair I know a kid whose pet parrot was eaten by a stray cat. Unless he was bullshitting me but it was a kid and he seemed legit sad about it.

Hey thread, look what came today! Squee! Front of box:  Back of box:  What's inside? (I feel kinda like Alice on her manhole cover)  Random page I flipped to in book 1:  Also, if you didn't pre-order, I feel bad for you son. Amazon currently has it for $47.00, but the US list price (and what's on the packaging) is $75.00. I paid $31.00 when I pre-ordered.

I had a dwarf hamster once, but my dog bit its skull open. Me and my brother used to let it run around the room and somehow the dog got in there and it just sort of happened in a second - it was pretty awful.

I knew quite a few people with leather ties, but I never owned one. I used to wear a super skinny tie (vintage 50s) all the time, though. That got paired with my black sharkskin suit coat with the sleeves rolled up above my elbows. I had parachute pants too. drat I miss those.

It's only at right this moment that I'm realizing that plenty of people manage to keep hamsters and cats at the same time without any tragic consequences... Three cats and a gerbil here. When the gerbil arrived, the cats were interested for about an afternoon. I think that once they realized it was in a cage, and there was nothing they could do, they gave up. All three couldn't give two fucks about the gerbil now, even when it's roaming the house in it's little gerbil ball while its cage is being cleaned. Darthemed posted:DOGG This is beyond horrible. Did he actually get paid for this poo poo? I mean, the concept is on par with Computoons, but Computoons is funny to me because it's so bizarre. DOGG is just crap. Right, I've been saying all week I'm going to post these and Ima do that right now. To recap, they're MAD magazine parodies of comics of the time, so sort of prehistoric CSMT edit type stuff. The issue was from December, 1959. They're not terribly funny, but they seemed to be thread-related. Timg'd because huge. Anyway, here: Henry  Mary Worth  Li'l Abner  Pogo  And, I have absolutely no clue about the middle character in this one, but it's obviously Dennis the Menace top, and Blondie bottom.  So there you go. It was a one-off deal.

My mother and her siblings owned some hamsters years ago. They went to bed one night with two hamsters, woke up with one and a half hamsters. They THINK the one-half was dearly departed before his roommate started tucking in. Possibly.

Honestly, I think all of y'all who are annoyed about LSoS are PBFing the gently caress out of it. "This is a nuanced situation and kind of a lovely one as a result" isn't the same thing as "MAN IS THE REAL MONSTER."

I think the guy in the middle is supposed to be Smilin' Jack. I've seen him in other comics parodies that have run in MAD. fake edit: The wikipedia link mentions the issue number of one of the parodies. I think I might dig up my copy of Totally Mad and see if it's there.

Well, I think in the past Spider-Man has webbed up cameras and had them take pictures of himself. I think he does it pretty frequently, since he's the guy that gets all of the photos of himself. poo poo like that should be old hat for him. Maybe he sets up a remote system? The print is because it's just easier to show that than a tight shot of a digital camera screen with text bubbles or whatever. E: beaten like a joke in Mike du Jour

Radio Patrol  This fight has been going on for weeks. It's pretty good. I just kind of wish I knew anything about the participants besides "One's a cop and one's a dancer or maybe an Apache, I guess."  Rip Kirby   Yeah... You've pointed all that weaponry right at his fuzzy little head.   Kismet Kildare here looks a little bit Audrey Hepburney to me. Wiki tells me that she was just starting to break out into stardom in 1954, when this was published, so maybe? Big Ben Bolt
