They probably weren't. The thing about trading card games is that the newer cards gradually get better and better to keep you buying new booster packs, so there's little market for old cards. That just leaves the things valued for their rarity, which are exactly that, rare.

Which is why he may want to look at what he has is going for on eBay before setting them on fire. Isn't the Charzard card worth bucks? I dunno, my kids were all into it, and as far as I know still have their cards, but I guess none of real value currently. Now 30 years from now, wtf knows.

Guran seems to actually want the best man to win, unlike the mini-Phantoms, who have been brought up to regard themselves as demigods and see no reason why nepotism shouldn't be the order of the day.

Bismuth posted:What? Explanation: tortoise are slow moving animals when on land. So when the shat-on animal immediately reacts by peeking out of the shell, their mate considers this as an exaggerated response. But it's not really true, those loving poo poo shells can bite off your finger before you know it. They just walk slowly over land with their unergonomically situated little flippers, but there's nothing slow about their reactions. See documentary series Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles for proof.

Benita Epstein can be funny at least in her one-panelers, but she's not a good enough artist to clearly convey the joke here. Also, in my experience seagull poo poo is white. Maybe that one had eaten crude oil.

Also, while it's a great deal of fun to trivialize the work that the office staff does (since all they do is keep track of paperwork and manage the phones and order supplies and deal with the public and manage schedules and other similarly useless garbage while the teachers do the important work of interacting with the children), people who actually work in a field that has a supporting office staff know that if your front office isn't doing poo poo, poo poo isn't getting done. Having your files organized may be a thankless job that even an attractive person can do, but it's actually pretty important.

I did some filing for a summer in my 30s and that job was actually pretty baller. The pay was low but it was a gap bridging thing. I never had any filing related drama and no impact at all on my personal life. If I got paid what I get paid now I'd do it again.

They're supposed to be pitchforks, which is supposed to be a metaphor for how the devil treats and amasses human spirits - like a farmer does hay. The physical appearance being based on pagan gods is true though - as of course he's the Deceiver and they're false religions leading people away from God so ipso facto he is them.

It's more modern than that, though. The devil doesn't start being depicted with Pan's attributes until the Renaissance; before then he was more of a generic monstrous type, or a dragon.
