Wanamingo posted:Inspector Danger's Crime Quiz I like this implication that doctors are purposely writing in some secret arcane language that only pharmacists can decipher. My dad worked as a pharmacist and he had plenty of times he had to call the doctor because he couldn't read the prescription, not to mention that "doctor's prescriptions are hard to read!" has been a tired old joke for ages. But hey, it's Inspector Danger, so whatever. At least the first part of the answer is right, though no mention of aspirin being misspelled.

Not everything on my Sunday list is up yet, but this is a weather emergency post. Freezing precip won't wait.  Funky Winkerbean  Classic Popeye Sunday, in which a sailor never forgets a fist. (c. 1943)  Out Our Way (September 22-23, 1926)   And now, something to make up for what's missing. Quino (Joaquín Salvador Lavado) is a revered Argentinian cartoonist, but for some reason his wildly popular strip Mafalda, which he did from 1964 to 1973, was never officially rendered into English until 2004 by his home country publisher. He only got one dead tree book in the US until Kindle came along. The hit-and-run summary is that Mafalda is a little girl who keeps getting hung up on the world's problems, and the strip deals with her interactions with her parents and a group of friends which gradually collected around her as the strip got warmed up. Quino conceived the strip as a mix of Peanuts and Blondie, only that kind of oversimplifies things since he keyed in on the politics and social issues of the times more than Sparky usually tried (and don't even get me started on whatever bubble Blondie lives in). Which leads us to the inevitable Schulz quote about Quino: "The kind of ideas that he works with are one of the most difficult, and I am amazed at their variety and depth. Also, he knows how to draw, and to draw in a funny way. I think that he is a giant."      Anyway, Peanuts in the morning if the lights are still on...

Manuel Calavera posted:Dilbert I had this exact problem when my computer died and I replaced it. I phoned the number it gave me and spoke to a helpful person who resolved the problem in under a minute. The only irritation was that it has you enter a number on your phone keypad and then you have to give the same number to the person you speak to immediately afterwards (which is really dumb), but even with that the whole call was really quite short and simple. I know it's a common stereotype that all tech support is obnoxious and makes you go through a bunch of useless steps, but you really should pick a company that actually does that rather than one that does it right.

Midnight Moth posted:Having worked CVS pharmacy department, prescriptions are written in code although I'm pretty sure you can just look it up online. For example, a capital T with a dot over it means "take one" (tablet/capsule). I don't think I've seen a handwritten prescription for fifteen years - these days they seem to be printed as part of the health management software.

That was my complaint the first time that comic came around. I had a pretty hard time believing that a doctor would just give a patient a handwritten note to give to the pharmacist. That just seems like opening yourself up to a world of litigation. Anyway, The Dinette Set tries to lose weight.  Working Daze is just dumb.

Daduzi posted:OK, this strip makes me definitely want to see more of Mafalda Malfalda reminds me of the older Nancy, in a good way. Please keep posting! As for LSOS I read ahead to see wtf big deal was, because I never got into LSOS, and figured maybe if I just read it all in one sitting it would amaze me. Everyone else seems to love it, I need to give it another chance after finding Heckbender so boring. Sorry, it has its moments but as soon as they drag in loving Calvin and Hobbes I was out. The only vaguely interesting thing was the fish people, and it read far too much like the Heckbender story of 'we got to get to x, we got to x, now we need to get to y, we get to y and now to the next.' Maybe if I didn't have to reread half the drat strips with the monsters because the font makes it loving hard to understand. No, it's nowhere near as bad as Luann, but it's not some groundbreaking story either. I read till the end hoping for some callback to the fish guys, because the entire ending was nothing but callbacks, but nothing. Ah well. Go Heckbender, I guess? Zits question. Is there a reason Hector looks so much like the dad in the comic? Or did I miss that that's his other kid?

Late, but, hey. Old friends over last night, got really drunk, stayed the night, decided to bake pretzels and bread in the morning, had to snowblow the driveway, like, 5 times, and now everyone's in the other room singing 80s karaoke and I'm posting comics and drinking a Bloody Mary. Life is good.   Ok, I laughed pretty hard at that. Nice! Phoebe and Her Unicorn caught up, so here are two..   Sneezing spiders? I don't remember that characteristic. 9 Chickweed Lane 2/29/2004 and 3/1/2004 There was a leap year in 2004, so you get two 9CWLs today so we can stay on track tomorrow.
