Well, given that Working Daze hits the easiest nerd humor possible and barely edges above Big Bang Humor in terms of "jokes", it's not at all surprising they're going to flog the "NERDS LOVE STAR WARS AMMIRITE" dog.

It's more that plenty of people enjoyed Star Wars but actually being invested in the franchise at this point (Especially given how crap the last three were) is something only obsessive nerds can pull off. Though I do think it might be unique, or at least distinctive, in that regard.

Being aware of something is vastly different than collecting every bit of Star Wars branded tat, or being aware of the minute details of both the movie universe and the expanded universe. Most people are aware of Star Wars as a cultural phenomenon, but nerds go so much further with it.

Luann Tiff's daddy wants Tiff to go to college even though she doesn't want to. It's because Tiff's Daddy is a loving father who wants what's best for her and Tiff is a spoiled brat. Rosa's father wants Rosa to go to college (Yale!) even though she doesn't want to. It's because Rosa wants to do something bigger with her life than follow the narrow path her parents set out for her and her father is an rear end in a top hat who won't listen.

Must be some sort of a Ripley's consortium working out of a podunk town in East Central, Ohio, in the same way that the Pluggers brain trust is located in NW Ohio.

Phantom Classic     Radio Patrol     Rip Kirby  $25,000 was a lot of money back now.  It's 1955 in Rip Kirby, so we're talking a little under $220,000 in Today Dollars.   I was going to make a snippy remark about how Rip's not doing a great job of keeping his cover, but it occurs to me he's probably blowing it intentionally for some reason. Big Ben Bolt     ...for those who came in late.

So I'm generally enjoying Classic Phantom and its bizarre obsession with 1940s vigilante courtship rituals, but I have to ask: is Classic Phantom also Kit - as in, it's been the same guy for the entire strip's run? Because I think that's the case but I'm not 100% sure.

Most of the Phantoms are named Kit, but yeah, it's always been about the one you're familiar with and earlier Phantoms only crop up in flashback stories that the modern Phantom is telling or investigating. Except for spin-off comics where people get told they can write a Phantom but they don't want to deal with the backstory so they just use the modern Phantom's son or future descendant so they can do whatever they want.

I really like Monty a lot but I don't like the rich kid strips as much as the other stuff, I'll read it occasionally but most of the time I find myself scrolling past them if it's him in it. I don't get this one. I realize the joke is supposed to be that the guy overdecorates and has a ton of stuff on the lawn and some of it isn't even Christmas related but his line and her face make it seem like it was supposed to be horrific when it isn't. It's just sorta tacky at worst. quote:Ah yes, that old classic carol that everybody knows the tune to. I can't help but remember that episode of Simpsons where the lawyer says that they're infringing on copyright when they go caroling. Laywer: But you are welcome to sing the many beloved public domain carols such as "O Tannenbaum," "Good King Wenceslas," "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" Homer: Those suck! They're worse than nothing!
