Nemi's still ongoing, it's just that it's been a super long bank holiday.

The writing is actually pretty decent and I don't really mind the art because it's so unashamedly bad. So yeah, I'd definitely read more Reply All.

Fat girls, mirite?

I seem to remember, in one of the Dilbert collections, Adams saying that this wasn't meant to be a fat joke. The woman was supposed to be just overall a huge woman, not fat, but for some reason people didn't interpret it that way. Can't imagine why not.

I like Reply All better than I ever expected that I would. And while the art is generally awful, I can't help but find the little dog adorable.

Not gonna post it, though. I barely manage to post the stuff I post.

The headline "suu vehnäselle" literally means eating a bun, it's a phrase for cheering up. The face in the title panel is a reference to an old biscuit logo which is another old phrase, "to smile like a Hanko biscuit".

She does have a cartoonishly large phone, so naturally her reactions to any news that comes by phone must also be cartoonishly out of proportion.

Berkeley Breathed posted:

Bloomers: Many, but not all of you, know that in the way that creative life can often surprise, Harper Lee was one of you. One of us. You might be as surprised as I am that she played a large role in my recent return to the streets of Bloom County-- streets inspired by those of Maycomb. When I retired Opus from the Sunday comics some years ago, Harper let me know her displeasure, with all the southern, gracious elegance we knew her for. See the letter below. I've waited until her passing to show it. We came to exchange many similar notes... including one in which she grudgingly forgives me for my retirement (irony alert). Imagine my 14 year-old self -- freshly savoring the first reading of Mockingbird and sending Miss Lee a fan letter in 1970 -- being told about another fan letter returning my way almost 40 years distant. Life is wonderful and strange and wistful and happy at the same time. And I'm happy to share this with all of you today.



e: There's a story here.

quote:

"So this summer, just a couple months ago when "Go Set A Watchman" was causing an uproar, I went back to my files and I pulled an old fan letter from years ago. It says (reading) dear Mr. Breathed, this is a plea from a dotty old lady and from others not dotty at all. Please don't shut down Opus. Can't you at least give him a reprieve? Opus is simply the best comic strip there is and depriving him of life is murder - a hard word to describe an obliteration of your creation. But Opus is real. He lives. Harper Lee, Monroeville, Ala....

"When I pulled that out - I hadn't seen it for 25 years. And I choked up, and I thought about the preposterously ironic impossibility of my literary heroine from my childhood demanding that I not kill one of her fictional heroes. The universe throws us some obvious little pitches sometimes, and we need to be awake enough not to let them slip by. So that night I found the blank four frames of "Bloom County" from years before in my files, and I sat down to draw the first one in 30 years. And I posted it on Facebook in sort of a what-the-hell moment, and that's exactly how much careful reason sober forethought went into the whole thing. And then it exploded after that."
