I think they were going to Palm Springs, CA.

Or at least, I have vague memories of one of them saying "Palm Springs, here we come!" a few strips back, which I'm not going to go back and look for in case I turn out to be right, because I don't want to think of myself as the kind of person who can remember a line from a Jane's World panel days after it was posted here. I probably am that kind of person, though. :(

In my defense, at least I don't have any loving idea what is going on with any part of the hostage storyline, up to and including the names of any of the people involved. Anyone who can unravel that can claim this shame-crown of mine and wear it...proudly?...that doesn't seem like the right word, but whatever.

Without actually bothering to go back to look it up, Palm Springs has got to be right. But only because it'd be unreasonable to drive to Alice Springs.

To be fair, at least for me, the cowboys in Out Our Way are way more difficult for me to sound out in my head when I read them. Still, I understand little kids talk funny (my 22yo used to say airphlegm for airplane which I though was hilarious), but it seems like they just take it too far in Rose is Rose.

Welcome to Rose is Rose. It's easily in my top three of most-hated strips*, because on top of the stupid baby talk, and the sudden Jojo's Bizarre Adventure mom and all that poo poo, it just literally has nothing to say about anything.

Pretty much this. Everything is so sugary cute and happy and the most HARDCORE thing in the WORLD is to eat a jalapeno. It's like if the Holbrook strip protagonists had even less of a threat of something bad happening to them.

That's part of the problem: it isn't baby talk. Baby talk would be simplified vocab and adorable mispronunciations. This is just adult talk transcribed to use way more letters than the original. It's like the baby is a 35-year old using anti-phonetic spelling.

Eye dialect is just the dumbest thing.

quote:

The term was coined by George P. Krapp to refer to the literary technique of using nonstandard spelling that implies a pronunciation of the given word that is actually standard, such as wimmin for women; the spelling indicates that the character's speech overall is dialectal, foreign, or uneducated.[1][2] This form of nonstandard spelling differs from others in that a difference in spelling does not indicate a difference in pronunciation of a word. That is, it is dialect to the eye rather than to the ear.[3] It suggests that a character "would use a vulgar pronunciation if there were one" and "is at the level of ignorance where one misspells in this fashion, hence mispronounces as well."[4]
