I don't fault him not knowing the origins of the saying because I didn't and most people probably don't, but the analogy is bad anyways. She did flash in the pan. OK I guess she's still there so she's not just a flash in the pan, but she's still standing in a pan because...? Because Holbrook thought of "flash in the pan" and churned out this bullshit. It's just stupid and I've already put more thought into this than anyone should.

I usually just kind of glide by this comic but now since I thought about it this comic is something else. Let's take a second and recap just those strips just posted: This Bambi woman is a singer and she's going to Mars where she will record her new album but first she's on tour with a ring belonging to a friend which is haunted by the friend's dead black grandmother who appears in mirrors and can be seen by anyone and she gives this singer woman advice. And there are also dodos.

Not exactly sure why they're bringing a singer to Mars so she can record a new album, but then again they're bringing a basketball player, mermaid, and trapeze artist. I literally have no idea why the Mars trip is happening beyond "my future self told me to" (I think this happened).

I think they're bringing her and just letting her keep recording songs in her spare time.

Hey everybody, a new archive strip was added on today and it's Back To B.C.! "Follow Johnny Hart’s classic strip, B.C., from its humble beginnings in 1958! Join the original five (B.C., Peter, Wiley, Clumsy and Thor) as they discover fire, befriend dinosaurs, try to figure out women and make a new friend, Curls."

But is it readable? Let's find out together! Because if it isn't, I've just found a brand new way to make you all suffer! :unsmigghh:



(And hell no, I'm not going to root around for dates on B.C. (e: especially when they're printed conveniently on the strip))

It might be good. From what I've heard, BC was pretty funny when it started out. It wasn't until midway through its its run that Johnny Hart got saved and his strip became Tales of Christian Cavemen. I'm interested to see what Johnny Hart put out Before Christ.

I was chit chatting with a coworker and I don't remember how it came up, but I was telling her about how there's these sad ladies who buy ultra-realistic dolls for hundreds or thousands of dollars and treat them like real babies and dress them up and wheel them around the neighborhood in baby carriages and the coworker was like, "I know. Other Coworker wants to get one."

Me: She does not!
CW: She totally does.
OCW comes in: I totally do! (Our office is tiny and the walls are thin)
Me: And do the whole nine yards? Treating it like a real baby like an insane person?
OCW: Yes!
Me: Dress it up? And wheel it around in a baby carriage?
OCW: Yes! And because I have kids I already have a car seat and a carriage and clothes and everything!
Me: You have got to be kidding me. This is so sad. You are not going to do this.
OCW: Yes I am!!
Me: Noooooooo....

And then she pulls out her phone and starts showing me all these pictures and ads for these fake babies she wants to buy. She was considering some ugly ones because you can get them for cheaper.

Considering that he didn't get saved until the early 80s, we've got a few decades of prime real estate ahead of us.

I'm not an economist, so I cannot comment, but it seems like carrying around a hideous monster-babby would be more traumatizing than the alternatives.

For example you could let them read a few Mike Lester cartoons to replace sadness with burning hate.

I can't wait for Popeye to make comics history and beat Fadewell into the next dimension. Although I realize it's not even his comic yet and he's going to disappear and come back later due to reader request, so Castor will probably rub the chicken and then the gun misfires and Fadewell slips on a banana peel.
