Good Listener posted: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. Also the hosed up art makes everything look vaguely Lovecraftian.

Mister Kingdom posted:It looks like they're wearing something on their heads like a nightcap. Since the covers come up to their necks, you can't see what they're wearing. Those are hair curlers with a scarf over. It seems unbelievable now, but women (not just teens) really did sleep in those back then.

Allen Wren posted: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. Heh, I've been in for the long haul; I remember seeing this crap in newspapers 20 years ago. I'm convinced that 'child' is actually a lobotomised 45 year old with stunted growth.

Pastry of the Year posted:Graves Inc. isn't particularly funny or clever, but the art is terrific. I totally agree. The artwork is pretty amazing, but the rest of the comic is bland. Anytime I read Rose Is Rose now, I still can't erase from my head the "feeder period". How loving bizarre. Speaking of loving bizarre, here's today's Jane's World, already in progress...  Non Sequitur  C'mon Wiley, that's just dumb.  Heavenly Nostrils is a day late..  D'awww! Somebody's crushing.  Kliban  I get the "beggars can't be choosers" reference, but, still,  9 Chickweed Lane 10/15/2003  Whatever. Dumb. Zits  But wait. You had to pee at least once, didn't you? Kevin & Kell  Wait, so throwing a punch automatically makes you a predator? What the hell?

It's a thing you might buy in a pet store. I don't need to know anything more than that (and didn't until this thread!). It's a lovely joke even if you know what a budgie is.

I've never heard an American refer to a budgie, apart from people talking about the band. It's always parakeets. I only knew they were the same from having watched a lot of British television. Great Moments in Rock 'n' Roll

Though my brother-in-law is from Maine and he calls them parakeets.
