Gunther has chosen to leave Peru, so this is maybe the first time I can remember where Gunther (of all people) is actually being shown to do the right thing, even if it's for a self-serving reason.

It's strange because yeah, Gunther did the right thing but for all the wrong reasons. There's nobody to like in this strip. It's good to have flawed characters, but you can't have a story with no likeable characters at all! That only works in something like The Creeps. It's crazy, but this thread's joking interpretation of Tiffany is the only way to have someone to root for in this stupid strip.

That's because there's no way you were as bad as Gunther, no matter who you are or why she broke up with you.

I dunno, the "bully" isn't bad either. Remember the time he got choked for trying to go to the bathroom, and was portrayed as the bad guy and people tried to gently caress him over? In a way that made no sense, at that?

It's not the shape of it, it's that it goes in the opposite direction. Women's belts go the opposite way around the middle from men's, just like how women's shirts button the opposite way. The phone footage shows a woman's belt.
No one ever told me I had to put my belt on one way. How do I know I'm putting my belt on in the proper manly fashion?

The same reason for most things in fashion, historical trends. Gentlemen dressed themselves, ladies were dressed by their maids. Buttons were arranged accordingly (because anyone left-handed had it beaten out of them by the time they wore buttoned clothes).

It's not really a joke. The Evanses are just so bad at writing character that their heroes come across as selfish arseholes and the villains seem to be unfairly victimised. They make the mistake of telling rather than showing when it comes to characters' personalities, so what's supposed to be the bullied underdog standing up for themself is just the character who's always an arsehole continuing to be an arsehole to the one we're told is mean and unpleasant but never see actually being mean and unpleasant.

even 'may i please have the salt' is incorrect because the intention is to have meg pass the salt. simply asking if he may have it only reveals whether or not he has permission, with the onus of action upon him like as if he asked 'may i go to the restroom'.

has the syndicate asked for any changes other than the title?

Honestly I don't push the envelope that much, but there have been times. Like, Gary Larson was telling the truth: you really can't say "dork."

[me]
interesting. Anything else?
(and am I allowed to tell the forums that 'Dana says the syndicate won't let her say 'dork' in the comic" ?)

[Dana Simpson]
Feel free.
I've also been stopped from saying the word 'underwear.'
I think once the strip is established in papers I can be a bit freer. Right now they don't want to scare off editors.
