sooooo what's the deal with Dilbert lately? is Scott Adams trying to make up for being a raging misogynist shithead in the past? or is this another one of those "lol irrational women getting mad over nothing" things like that time he spent a week joking about cutting off people's testicles
I'm guessing Scott Adams respects women engineers but not the women who won't date him.

...but thankfully Julet also posts Juliet, which I have fallen in love with. Thanks for posting these! Been a fan for a while and couldn't remember if I ever thanked you for it. :)
(sidenote to Julet: where does your avatar text come from? It seems familiar but I can't place it. Did it come from one of these threads?)

I'm glad you like it! :)

You probably recognize my avatar text from Edminster's strikingly similar avatar text*. I normally wouldn't base my av text on somebody else's, but I had no idea what text to put with the picture at the time. He suggested it and the text combined with the dazed look on MJ's face and the juxtaposition with his av were all so hilarious to me that I had to pull the trigger.



*From what I remember, a while back Iron Man was flying around on a commercial airline with all the other common folk, like you would expect any obscenely rich person to do, when he fell under the influence of the Puppet Master. Puppet Master forced him to bust out through the side of the plane while it was in flight, causing a great big (somewhat suggestive looking) hole. Fortunately Spidey just happened to also be on board, and he fixed it, but not before inspiring Edminster to purchase this:



Vaginas, my subject.
Plane hulls, my medium.

I almost admire how Gilchrist can manage to constantly find new and interesting ways to make Nancy terrible. This isn't exactly one of his nostalgia things, or one of his schmaltzy ones, it's more of a fusion of both. All he needs is to somehow have Nancy praying about this and it'd have just about everything.

I want to point out that less than three weeks ago, Betty complained about Barry being too clingy.



It is amazing how Barry's personality will change to whatever will make him the butt of a joke, and he still remains the most likable and level-headed character in the comic. Remember the time the joke was he thought it'd be weird to call his hot nerd chick date a dude, and then later Gwen was getting on his case for calling Betty "dude"?

It's a relative thing. Even if he's not likable on the whole, he is more likable than anyone else in the comic. In much the same way you wouldn't call someone with one hundred dollars to his name "rich", but he's still richer than someone with only ten dollars.

Huh. I thought Kelly's mom was some other person. I must've gotten her confused with Nikki's mom, or with one of the other Bad Moms that Rex and June are always meeting.

I wonder if the new nurse has any relatives who can work for the Morgans, too? They should've put that in the job requirements.

I think he's likable, but I admit it's probably a Ziggy thing where he doesn't seem like a bad dude and his rear end in a top hat co-workers poo poo on him nonstop for trying to be friendly. It may also be because he appears to be dating someone a decade older than him, so he somehow doesn't seem as shallow as the writer probably intends him to be?

It is an incredibly poorly written strip. Also poorly drawn. And poorly conceived.
