If I didn't know for sure that Dustin was a worthless piece of human garbage who deservedly gets owned by his cool rich Boomer dad, I might wonder if Ed was potentially actually a little bit wrong in being more obnoxious in "solving" "problems" loudly and at all times than the supposed problems themselves. But no, Ed rules, poors (incl. Dumb Dusto) drool. Thanks, Steve Kelley.


e: And just so I post something positive for once, I think it's extremely cool that "Zippy the Pinhead" invoked a Magritte that I like.

Ed is exactly the kind of whiny privileged shitheel people in the service industry tell stories to their friends about. "And I could totally hear every word of his 'witty' plan, and by then I had been on my feet for six hours and I was sick to loving death of fake smiling at rich old white assholes for chump change so I threw it right back in his face.

And then he complained to my manager and I got fired."

The greatest tragedy of all is how much Jeff Parker's great art goes to waste on this strip for Steve Kelley to use as a soapbox for his awful opinions.

There was a whole whiny article on HuffPo by someone who was super upset that they had to wait for the rest of their party in order to be seated. Granted, the restaurant was supposedly empty but they wrote way too many words about it and it was hardly newsworthy (much like everything on HuffPo).

That's the thing; phonetically, the way her speech is spelled is just normal talk most of the time. It's just spelled in an awkward way that makes it a pain in the rear end to read. That's possibly the most annoying aspect of it, really; not only is it obnoxious, but it doesn't even do what it's meant to do. It's just a pointless annoyance.

... the hell? Do they have 3 foot curbs in Canuckistan, or something? Why would you need help getting a shopping cart down a whopping few inches?

Edit: was grousing about this strip to my bf, and it turned into an irrationally angry rant about how Lynn's collecting a paycheck doing reruns when there's tons of fresh talent that are struggling to get syndicated. The rant then turned to how Morrie Turner was 90 years old and still coming up with new (and actually funny!) material right up until he died, with an impressive 9 month advance time.

My points: 1) I miss Wee Pals. :( 2) Did we get every Wee Pals posted, up to the last one? I'm struggling to remember.
