Ha, of course. When I viewed that panel for some reason I thought past Les was about to do something that changes the timestream and killed his future self like Biff in the deleted BttF2 scene.

And here I was thinking there were only three or so outcomes for tic-tac-toe.

Perhaps, but how many of those tic-tac-toe games are made up of logical moves that a thinking person would actually do? And how many of them are like "the same as game 1,372, but turned 90 degrees," etc?

My hope is that Past Les was so depressed about the monster he becomes that he commits suicide, thus causing the death of Future Les. I suppose the best we can probably expect, though, is that Les had a massive heart attack or maybe a sudden onset of cancer.

Oh my god, this story just keeps digging for deeper and deeper :psyduck: with every day. I can't even bring myself to try to predict how this dinner will turn out (except "badly," of course); I'm willing to bet that even people who were kicking around in 1953 would look at this and be utterly baffled by it.

I almost wish Frank Bolle was the artist for Mary Worth, just so Toby would be buying her roasted LIE CHICKEN on a city street or in a random living room, to maximize the WTF-ness.

He's not going to.

He's going to have Tiffany fall in love with him instantly, then thanks to his 'nice guy'-ness, he'll change her from a good character to a terrible one, and it'll be shown as a redemption arc.

Margo, you are a wedding planner! That's how this whole thing started, remember? Just get your assistant to do it like you were originally going to!

I know it's always been the case that Tiffany was supposedly popular despite only ever being shown to have one friend, but come on. She still sees all the same people Luann does, because everyone in this comic knows everyone else, and how could she not have met anyone in her classes? This is dumb even for Luann.

The X-COM project did not deliver the universe's ultimate cup of coffee. You have failed to save the Earth.


I really enjoy some of the old comics posted here, so I figured I'd try posting a run of Mickey Mouse comics from the 1930's. I did this once a few years back, but I ended up posting like 6 days worth at a time and I think that was too much for this kind of thread, where there's so many other great (and not so great) comics to read. I feel like I should keep it to 2-3 strips a day, anyone got any opinions on the matter?

Today Mickey Mouse has a reputation as a goofy guy who's pretty boring, but that wasn't always the case. In ye olden days he was a cool guy who went on some kickin rad adventures. Floyd Gottfredson worked on the comic for something like 45 years, and is sort of the same thing to Mickey Mouse as Carl Barks was to Donald Duck comic books (which also rule).
