Hel posted:That depends on how many bathrooms they have and/or if it's combined with the toilet. There are a lot of legitimate uses for a bathroom, some of them can't exactly 20min for someone to finish their bath. If you don't want anyone to see you, the shower curtain works even while bathing.

Tiggum posted:Eww. If your toilet is in the bathroom and someone is using the bath, you wait. You've never had to wait 20 minutes before? I was thinking more of not having an extra sink, though I suppose you could wash your hands in the kitchen if you like. Also maybe it's just me, but I keep all my medical supplies in the bathroom so sometimes you might need quick access to the bathroom.

RE tolietchatte, I think it's just because she knows the husband (whatever his name is) is a forever, and constant horndog, and if she lets him in her book will get wet, and her wine will get knocked over, and she won't be able to finish her story.Tiggum posted:Is the depression cat French?

I don't think Dick Tracy does any actual police work anymore, just waits in the car until a family member bumps into his current target. Still better than what Inspector Danger does, mind you. Oh god I just realized why Inspector Danger wears yellow.

Fingerpori 1592: - There is no God! Earth revolves around the Sun! - Fool! - You'll end up in a bonfire for that! - Good! I do have a few mobile game ideas Rovio means bonfire or pyre.  [Pick up your pet's droppings!] [Keijo fixes - household appliances, IT equipment, etc.] Korjata usually means "to fix/repair", but also "to collect/gather" which I presume evolved from "to reap/harvest". That text on the counter looks like the Miele logo to me. Fok_It  Originally in the first panel, the guy was asked "Who are you going to vote for?" to which he replies "I have no clue". The thing is, in Finnish that expression is literally "No smell whatsoever".

Wanamingo posted:Lost Side of Suburbia Mm, I just think it hasn't really kicked in yet. Reynard is a classic French trickster, depicted as a fox. As with most trickster archetypes, such as the Coyote, Reynard is notorious for getting himself into trouble due to his curiosity and cunning, and then getting himself out via pure wiles. I think the implication here is that it's more of a hereditary title, or family thing, since Reynard is also usually male. The cockroach is Archy, who is a REALLY old reference on par with Krazy Kat, Everett True or Out Our Way. It would seem like a bit of a long shot considering the others we've seen are much more well known and have been depicted contemporarily, but if you need a typist for a group of vermin your options aren't exactly enormous. Toad Hall is the luxurious home of one Mr. Toad, the eccentric, dashing, adventurous, and extremely rich impetus character of The Wind in the Willows. You would be hard-pressed to find a better character to fill the role of the benefactor. Brer Rabbit is an African-American creation in the most literal sense, having developed from African slaves based on the African character Hare. He's usually a positive character but has very little restraint or morals, with his most famous appearance having him fistfight a baby, so he can be a villain. He has a LOT of parallels with Anansi, who we saw on the cover. No idea who his bird friend is though. This is cartoon as hell, incidentally, compared to the last story which was grounded comparatively strongly in reality and all its nasty bits. Should be interesting.

With a tiny dildo? Pogo severely underestimates the power of the baby spider lobby in post-McCarthyite politics. (May 23, 1956)  Meanwhile, it's another non-filter full-tar day with Droodles.

The schoolmarm/cowboy thing I get because she probably moved out west, but the children series all seem to have everyone from the same city. The posing I'd probably chock up to standards for decorum or just plain uncomfortable clothing, but the dialogue baffles me more.

I like how the cowboys wear high heel boots, with higher heels than the marm has on her shoes. When did men stop wearing such things?

I think it's probably just that girls were supposed to be cultured and refined and speak properly, while boys could run wild and use slang and be much less articulate.

I don't remember Geech having a kid in it.   Wanamingo posted:Lost Side of Suburbia Lost Side doesn't feel like a kids' book. Heckbender's story was really static and dry. Alan Moore's League is downright pornographic in places, and even if a kid can figure out the premise borrowed for this, they're not going to get the references. I think this is more an adult book in the style of a kids' book, like Go the gently caress to Sleep. I'm kind of interested in this, but I can't place all the characters. Purple coated weasel thing? Danger Mouse? Reynard the Fox, okay. Anansi the Spider from West African folklore, and oddly enough, the ancestor of Br'er Rabbit. Toad of Toad Hall. Kotik the White Seal and Rikki Tikki Tavi from the Jungle Books. I assume that's Peter Rabbit. Everyone except Kotik in the photos, who's replaced by Moby Dick, and I still don't know who the mouse is. Some sort of Redwall reference?

Lost Side really feels like it's aimed at a middle school crowd, and it certainly doesn't feel like it's out of a 6th's grader's grasp.
