There has been a disheartening lack of nudity so far this season. There's been, what, two brothel scenes spread across five episodes? And one of those wasn't even full frontal! We just saw a single rear end crack. Show's slipping.

How did the artist manage to hold his stylus steady enough to draw this, while furiously cranking his smelly little dick to the idea of an assless cartoon monstrosity holding the sweetly scented sneakers of some sort of white collar demigoddess in their dual mouths? I guess he managed to hold it all together just long enough to three gams and some dainty feet, but gave up when it came to drawing anything that might suggest that they do not exist in an avocado void.

Six tons of water per year is very little but the way they phrase it makes it seem like they're trying to say it's a lot.

Six tons per year is roughly 120 gallons per month. That's less than the average person in an industrialized nation uses in one day. Unless I've made a huge math error somewhere.

Nah I got about the same. The average person is something like 100 gallons per day, yeah.

They drop this a lot because of water recycling and the fact that you can't just run water on a space station it won't work, so pretty much everything has to be carefully used in a way that doesn't let water float around.

Man is it me or does Phoebe and her Unicorn seem a bit less interesting now? Maybe it's because it's in repeats at the moment but even the months leading up to syndication it seemed like some of the cuteness had left it. I'm sure once we get out of the initial strip "opening" period, things will seem new and fresh again probably.

Phoebe and Her Unicorn is always nice to look at, but it really does seem to have about five or six jokes at best, none of which are particularly "funny" so much as they are "cute". It was, arguably, never "interesting". That's not a criticism; there's definitely a place for cute/twee/precious and that strip nails it.I know Family Circus gets a lot of poo poo from pretty much everyone, but its job isn't being funny so much as relatable. It's a comic made for grandmas to cut out and put on their fridges. Phoebe and Her Unicorn is that, but for a different demographic, but I'll be damned if I know what it is.

My point being, I guess, that when you've only got one well, it runs dry that much faster.

Yea I can see that. It just used to make me get good feeling vibes and these days it's like "Well I know this one already so..." Trying to find its feet again is a good way to put it because it seems like Marigold was a lot more friendly with Phoebe but now is back to being less charmingly aloof. It's still nice and colorful atleast.

They're all very good points though. Haha you can only go "unicorn!" so many times as a punchline before it's like "yep, you are."

I'm guessing that the comic site comments are somehow spinning this against Tiffany.

It's actually much, much worse:




Although, if you'd checked in on the previous comic, you'd have seen them tut-tutting about how disappointed they are in Tiffany for showing Gunther her leg (or her vagina, depending on how you interpret the art).

Sal, it's time to face the facts. This is a lovely novel. Your choices are to back out now, or to force yourself to finish reading it as punishment for falling for the publisher's hype. (I have done this. I might have problems.)

It really kills me to say it, but Tiffany's the best character in the whole sorry strip now.
She has goals and is willing to work towards them
She has vulnerabilities.
And most importantly, she is the only one who, in going to college, is accepting that people grow and change and is willing to put high school attitudes behind her.
