Part of me feels like there is no way in hell we are supposed to be sympathizing with Gunther. I can't believe anyone would write this and not intend for him to come off as a whiny asshat to everyone. ...then I remember this is Luann, a strip that thinks college is high school, rewards insurance fraud, and has gone out of its way to remove any character that ceases to be petulant.

I start to feel the same way and then remember this conversation that Gunther had and realize that we really are supposed to think Gunther has valid concerns: Mustache dude: What is wrong, Senor? Why do you get drunk with half a cervesa and leave in such a hurry? Gunther: It's MY MOM! She's making eyes at somebody! And that somebody IS NOT ME!!! Mustache dude: Dios mio! This is muy serioso! We must get you home muy rapido! Aye caramba, etc. That's how I remember it, anyway. I guess it's possible the mustache dude was being sarcastic.

Julet Esqu posted:Tell me more of this wondrous land where you can put up a no junk mail sign and get anything in return other than a hearty laugh from your mail carrier. One of the many things that blew my mind when I moved to the USA was that junk mail is actually sent through the post office and delivered by your mail carrier, addressed to you (or at least to someone who lived there years ago, or to "Occupant"). That's why the concept of putting up a no junk mail sign on your mailbox is so laughable to Americans and whatever other godforsaken hellholes do it that way. A sign worked most of the time in the part of New Zealand where I grew up, because only legit mail with an address on it got delivered by the mail carrier. Since junk mail was unaddressed, it arrived via an army of small children and teenagers who were paid a weekly pittance to trudge around their neighborhood stuffing flyers and catalogs and supermarket deals into everybody's mailboxes, and could be easily encouraged to skip your house if there was a sign. I remember having that job myself as a little kid, for a while, and everybody would skip houses for all sorts of reasons: a sign, a homeowner who had lurked by the mailbox to tell you never to do it again, a mud puddle, a dog, that house with that one weird tree that looked scary in the evening... never mind "snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night," pretty much anything would do the job.

Manuel Calavera posted:That's a thing? Tell us more please. I assume this was directed at me but basically I put up a sign that says no junk mail please and it's usually respected 99.9% of the time. I live out in the country but its in line with the finnish mindset to not disrespect such things. Might be different in cities, though the 7 years I lived in one the system worked pretty well, now and then some punk kid would dump some flyers anyway through the mail slot. But it worked so well we had to remove the sign a few weeks before we moved so we'd have some packing paper for our glassware and such.

God now I've realized who Gunther reminds me of. There was a twink gay guy I worked with in grad school who tried to pull off a goatee/beard at one point. It didn't make him look rugged like he wanted, but it did work for him since he wasn't a petulant chode.

So I'm guessing this is why what's-her-name found her dad's grave in the middle of a random field in Europe when she knows for a fact that Bill came home to raise some Nazi's offspring. Martine is in that grave and he put his name on it because he died too, that day. He died too.  Johnny Walker posted:Rex Morgan MD Gosh, I hope she comes on all hardcore mob widow like, "You trying to gently caress with me? Don't you dare ever gently caress with me, Morgan!" Or maybe have the mortuary guy hung out a window by his ankles. I suspect she'll be nice about it, though.

For some reason I'd been assuming that Gunthie's mom was a widow, and thought maybe he was overreacting because "how dare someone try to replace my dad!" or some weird sentiment like that. I went to Wikipedia to find out how/when his dad died, where I learned: "He has a good deal of insecurity about his father deserting the family when Gunther was young, and worried that it was because of him". Sooo... thinks he caused his mom's first husband to leave, but now is actively trying to keep her from finding another love. Gunther, you're a douche.

Man, I think I might hate Working Daze and Luann more than any other comic here, these days. 9 Chickweed Lane has been going slower than loving Apartment 3-G since this nazi story started eight years ago or whenever so my eyes just glaze over it, and I'm desensitized to Mike Du Jour and Intelligent Life at this point. Working Days is like On The Fastrack but vaguely misogynist and awful instead of just milquetoast and obviously written by an old man trying to be hip.FactsAreUseless posted:It's the thing I do.
