I think this was the first Jane's World posted in one of these threads. If I remember rightly, one of them is going to shoot out a light with a silenced pistol in one of the next pages.

Fingerpori - The night started without incident, but then the bar enticed me... Completely made up that translation. The Finnish reads "but then I indulged in handlebar drunkenness", which is the term for riding a bicycle under the influence of alcohol. For comparison, regular car DUI is "steering wheel drunkenness". The thing is, the word for handlebar is tanko which means a straight stiff cylindrical object, e.g. a bar or a pole. Well, actually, handlebar is ohjaustanko, ohjaus meaning handling, but when coupled with the drunkenness term only tanko is used. Fok_It  I'm amazed I could find two American game shows that work even as well as they do here. I was about to give up before trying. It makes slightly more sense in Finnish. Not much though.

EasyEW posted:And this hitting the papers while The Fault In Our Stars is doing big-rear end box office. Cancer's hotter than ever! This is one of those times where being one year ahead can bite you in the rear end. To be fair, things actually happen in Fault In Our Stars while Lisa just dies in her book after some pointless appearance before Congress, so her not dying would actually be an interesting subversion of an otherwise completely irrelevant story. Also, cancer really is the most boring of topics. I've even had someone very close to me die of cancer, and I can't find a way to write an entire book about that. It's not exactly a singular experience, y'know? Anyway, much like Lisa's Story, we know how Cow and Boy ends too, with a fiery cat-shaped meteor.  We're getting pretty Bloom County here.

Aardmania posted:9 Chickweed Lane Even the word "repertoire" just isn't enough for Brooke. He has to use "repertory," which can technically be used to mean repertoire, but among the vanishingly small number of people who have ever needed to use it in conversation, it usually means a specific type of theatrical show.

There, in the grass, lies Black and White Animal Comix. Pooch Café  Poncho is very dog in this strip. When he's barking his head off in the first panel, he hasn't actually seen the mailman yet. Ballard Street  Um, when it's something he enjoys that does not generate the income of a vocation? You want to start making dairy money you'll need a bigger grassture first.

They're called Pegasisters, obviously  .As this strip from the exemplary "Jill gets drunk and ruins a wedding rehearsal dinner" 2010 storyline shows, Mary "you can change reality by changing your perception" Worth isn't the best person to give advice to a child who may or may not be experiencing visual and auditory hallucinations.

tiistai posted:Fingerpori Possible alternate route: "I was doing okay last night, but then I hit a pole," or "Rough night, got trashed and hit a pole." As in first panel suggests he had a drunk driving wreck hitting a pole, but then, second panel. (If this were a native Anglophone pun involving hitting a poles, first panel would be "ugh, got in a wreck, hit a pole" and second panel would be a guy named Jerzy looking real mad).
