That's a kickass song, so thanks for linking it. I'm still going to need an assist on this one. The hummingbirds are humming, in this joke because they cannot remember the words of a song? Then that one hummingbird does, and sings it, in this case a line from "Volver Volver?" I'm pretty much white middle America, even though I have lived many other places, Las Vegas and SoCal included. This is not a song that I knew, or would even recognize. Tonight was the first time I heard it. My Spanish is loving atrocious, so if there's some extra layer of humor between the song's content and the strip, I'm stumped.

Johnny Walker posted:Mary Worth It is kind of neat, but man, why are they zooming in on Mary? It makes her seem like some nasty schemer. (Which she is, admittedly, but still.) Like, zooming in on Grandma Dingdong because of the uncertainty of her situation and all, that'd be dramatic and stuff, but zooming in on Mary's eyes as she tries to get other people to do what she wants doesn't have the effect I imagine the author is going for. This is a weird complaint to have, I know, but that's just what came to mind when I saw that. "Muahahaha, my plan is coming to fruition." Mary, you look devious.

The joke is that they're humming birds because they can't remember words. One remembered the words. The end. That's it. The song is irrelevant.

Thought I might have been missing an extra zing there. Kinda milquetoast, but I guess it got me to check out a rad song. I'll call it even.

Manuel Calavera posted:Foxtrot That is just...so drat terrible, but I laughed. I always felt that Foxtrot should have done what Luann is doing now. Have the characters actually move on. Age the strip a few years, so Jason is where Paige is now, Paige is just entering college, and Peter has been in the workforce. Of course, this means you miss the whole freshman year dorm/frat hijinks with Peter and his friend, but eh.

Julet Esqu posted:Luann Since Karen Evans got involved in the writing, which character had a "massive change" (read: haircut) when no others did, and which character has been focused on very heavily? I think Karen Evans hates Luanne because the character was based on her, self-identifies with Bernice, and is turning this into the "Bernice & Friends" strip.

Peanuts (October 15, 1967) Funky Winkerbean drops the black borders on Sundays just in time for the part of the year where the sun gets scarce.  Classic Popeye Sunday (c. 1941)  For today's Pogo, I'd like to bring the room down a little bit. This week, and maybe the next one, comes from the very, very late period, not just of the strip but of Walt Kelly himself. He wasn't well for a long time with an illness that cost him a leg, and while he did his best to keep working up to the end, his widow said that when the illness got too far on top of him he'd draw the characters tiny and scrawny. The lovingly detailed backgrounds would go straight out the window, too. When this one was published, he only had a year left to go, so you tell me how he was feeling. (November 12, 1972)  First-Gen Blondie (c. 1943)   Out Our Way (November 4-5, 1925)

EasyEW posted:For today's Pogo, I'd like to bring the room down a little bit. Oof! Diabetes is a jerk, sadly. Kelly only lived to be 60, too  It's especially bad in the last 2 panels. Like, Kelly couldn't handle drawing even the most minimal of backgrounds anymore, so he just said "gently caress it" and had the characters stand in void. The strip lasted few more years after his death, with his wife (Selby) and son (Steve) taking over. Mister Beeg fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Oct 12, 2014 |

Dustin Or you can just hit the lid on a hard surface to break the seal and then open it easily. Heaven's Love Thrift Shop  Get them both! Also the person who owned that pink blouse before you had major BO problems. On the Fastrack  I find cafes really hard to do any work in for how busy and noisy they are. And I would think Dethany would just tether to her phone if the signal was that bad. Slylock Fox  You really don't even need to read the puzzle to know who Slylock thinks is guilty here.

Not Retail I dunno, I think Safe Havens  This is correct. Adding free pizza to any college gathering increases attendance approximately 500% On the Fastrack  Presumably so they wouldn't get stale? Or so you don't become the Halloween version of that house that doesn't take down their Christmas lights?
