Darthemed posted:Ripley's A little googling shows that the red light, of course, stays red by design. The explanation is translated to English from German traffic planning people so it's not the easiest thing to follow, but my understanding is that the light is essentially on a right turn intersecting with a larger road. They want you to stop and make sure it's safe, but then you're allowed to go (just like how you can turn right on a red in the States). It's essentially acting like a stop-sign. The real mystery is why the city bothers maintaining the yellow and green light on the same signal when they know they will never be used, because the articles I looked at indicate that they do. Also I guess Ripley's has about a 2 month lead time. That's when the stories I saw were published.

Bloom County 2015 provides equal time for orange goblins.

I'm looking for advice, but since you're the only one around, do you have any snarky comments that will take a piss on my dreams and sour any enthusiasm I had towards a collaborative creative process?"

Julet Esqu posted:The real mystery is why the city bothers maintaining the yellow and green light on the same signal when they know they will never be used, because the articles I looked at indicate that they do. I suppose if they ever do need to change the traffic pattern, for road work or whatever, having the other signals already there makes it a little easier. Plus it uses the same parts as any other light, I guess. Johnny Aztec posted:Man, that sword is like something out of an RPG, or an old mythological setting. All it needs is to have been forged in a volcano, during a lightning storm. It's also not as rare as it sounds, all things considered. I used to do blacksmithing as a hobby and as you might expect, the kinds of people who still forge swords in the twenty-first century are exactly the kinds of people who are willing to pay for meteoric iron to make something cool out of, if they can get their hands on it. Occasionally people do silly things like only working on the piece under a full moon or whatever too, basically just to say they did.

My Lovely Horse posted:Pretty much. The thing is, they can't just put up a stop sign, because the traffic rules state that every road meeting the intersection must have a traffic light. And there must be a rule that says every bulb must be maintained. If you waive that rule just because they're never used, before you know it you're back in the jungle with the baboons and puppies.

Rarebit Fiend (click for huge)  Everett True's Vacation  Back to 1915, folks.  Fritzi Ritz   Sick, Sick, Sick (click for big)  Text: A STATEMENT BY THE EDITORS We have got rid of Jules Feiffer (who never made a deadline) and have, as his replacement, hired Alvin Camus (age 5). Mr. Camus has impressed the editors with his precocious talent. Residents of West 3rd Street well know his stylish gutter drawings. He also does marvelous likenesses of Ronald Coleman and Virginia Bruce. We are sure he will make the grade.  Text: A Statement By the Editors Lawyers for Mr. Jules Feiffer (formerly a Voice cartoonist) have threatened us with suit if we persist in using Mr. Feiffer’s title, “Sick, Sick, Sick” on the strip now being done in this space by Alvin Camus, aged 5. We, the editors, contend that “sickness” is not the special province of Mr. Feiffer alone. Let him sue! The Voice will stand firm on any issue involving freedom of the press. Wee Pals

Luann The current state of Luann's room is meaningless. Long term maintenance of your personal space is not the same as a one-time cleanup of somebody else's space. I hope Luann and her pals are good with a bucket of spackle! The Amazing Spider-Man  We've been over this, Peter. And that was BEFORE she saw you unmasked. You should probably be more concerned about Hobgoblin actually unmasking you. Sally Forth  The Heart of Juliet Jones
