gently caress you, Inspector Danger - raindrops can come from any direction, at any location. Rear flank downdraft, front flank downdraft, microbursts, outflow driven rain, inflow driven rain, the list goes on and on. You're the worst inspector ever.

I loved the last mob boss one where the narrator got in on the action and said something like "Gonzo Milfetti spends the last miserable hours of his awful life on the beach" and then Inspector Danger makes a joke about how the corpse smells like garlic.

It's how they were on Gocomics. They got lazy with the scanning. The weird thing is, it really doesn't matter, since the art tends to be kind of static. I'm wondering now if I have Geech confused with a different, better strip. Kudzu, maybe?

I guess I could see a low-power mower getting jammed if it was pretty dense yeah, since I've made similar mowers unhappy by just using it on grass that was too long. Not permanently broken mind you, it just triggered some sort of auto shutoff feature I think. Also in this case I'd say the dad's a moron for not seeing all that and making the kids clean it up. That's basically what you do with kids who make a big mess. Make 'em clean it.

Cow and Boy I kind of hate the Sunday strips for this since there's no word bubbles, so the text just melds with the colored background. It's barely readable. Ah well. Sherman's Lagoon  Hurr hurr hurr, technology, hurr hurr hurr. I actually do prefer books to E-readers though, because I don't like the high contrast screens and all the bullshit that goes with scrolling down.

EasyEW posted:Out Our Way (March 4-5, 1925) I did an experiment. Most of the Wash Funk comics have some sort of actual joke, but the depiction of African Americans is so offensive that I can't enjoy the joke. (I know, I know, part of the times and all but that doesn't make it right.) This panel had an actual nonsensical joke, so I wanted to see whether the joke would carry better without the racist and classist overlays.  I think it does, but anybody else's mileage may vary. I had trouble getting Wash's face right. I also wanted to fix that poor swaybacked horse, but didn't have time. Anyway, an experiment and hopefully not just bowdlerization..

A few other people have already commented on this, but here's a little comic strip history anyways since I found this old article from the time. This has recently come up over the D&D political cartoon thread, so let me add that Pat Oliphant, the editorial cartoonist who Breathed is mocking here, is a complete prick and deserving of such mockery and more. Breathed, in a 2001 interview, had this to say about him: quote:In the world of hardcore editorial cartoons, there's a small, unpleasant fellow with a very little penis, the result of a sneeze during circumcision, named Pat Oliphant—himself a Pulitzer winner—who threatened a boycott when my prize was announced in 1987. Those were the days.

Ok, what kind of gay baby mower throws a rod when you run over a bunch of scattered pieces of cut yarn? Or did I miss something obvious? EasyEW posted:First-Gen Blondie (c. 1942) I'm sort of a student of "old things" (collect old radios, live in a 114yo house, etc.), and this is the first time I've ever heard of someone having to light a water heater each time they needed hot water. Especially in 1942. By then there definitely were thermostatically controlled water heaters that would always provide hot water. Prior to that, it was customary to have the water heating system "tandemed" onto the house boiler, and the only time you had to go fire it to get hot water was during Spring/Summer when you weren't using main heat, or if it was a decent one, it had a continuously burning pilot burner to keep it at about 100F, and you just hit a switch to take it up to nuke temperature when you wanted way hotter water. Huh. Now I'm interested. I guess I'll have to research that a bit. Yeah, right, whatever, BlankIsBeautiful...   I always wonder how Cap'n Eddie keeps getting his boat back. Heavenly Nostrils is yesterday's. 9 Chickweed Lane 6/22/2003  Edda does, in fact, execute a very nice  It's small because I grabbed the GoComics preview because my internet is being a dick.Zits is still being a huge pain in the rear end to load, but I managed to grab yesterday's and today's before their server dropped my connection. I am in the hinterlands of far east central Ohio with less than marginal Verizon internet access so that could be the trouble.   But! Lucky for us! Kevin & Kell loads up just fine! Yay!  Stop talking to your food, you idiot.

(I know, I know, part of the times and all but that doesn't make it right.) This is probably why people accused me of "pearl clutching" when these Wash Funk panels started popping up constantly. Sometimes it's a matter of what's being said (dice and chicken house raids are still the ones I won't post directly), other times it's how it's being said, but without confronting these things it all just blends together into a king rat of old-timey ignorance. I think I mentioned J. P. Alley once before, the editorial cartoonist in Tennessee who was part of the team that won the Pulitzer in 1923 for coming out against the Klan, but was also the creator of the Uncle Remus-like Hambone's Mediations, and trying to picture those two facts about the same man really makes you start to wonder how aware he was of the implications of he was doing. Of course, being this fine-grained about a pretty coarse set of stereotypes can still get you into trouble if you don't take the temperature of the room first.

EasyEW posted:Content advisory: Funky Winkerbean is about to make you think of something you'd rather not. So how often do you suppose Les calls her Lisa? Does he ever not call her Lisa in bed? I like how in any other story this likely would be Cayla coming to terms with the fact her husband never actually loved her and she was just a replacement for his dead wife, and having to figure out if she's okay with this, or if she needs to move on and divorce him. EasyEW posted:Funky Winkerbean Anyone want to bet that Les remembering the name for what he's suffering is going to magically make it go away which is not at all how actual psychological disorders work?

Yes, basically - as long as you manage to remove the battery before the device short circuits itself, a bag of rice is just as good as silica at sucking the moisture. Not guaranteed to work but at that point, you don't have much to lose! Nenonen fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Jun 22, 2014 |

My phone fell in a toilet and I didn't notice at first, so it sat immersed in water for about 20 minutes before I retrieved it. Tossed it in rice and left it for a couple of days, charged it, and it turned on just fine. Blhue fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Jun 22, 2014 |
