Normally I don't mind the ridiculous plots where these rich arseholes feel entitled to free stuff and get it just because, but this is actually annoying me. If it were any other strip (except maybe Rex Morgan), I'd assume that either Sam was trying to get her kicked out of the band or was about to get some sort of comeuppance for his greed, but in this strip I'm sure it will just end with Sophie getting paid more.

Man, syndicated cartoonists just can't resist piling on common core. I know that fear of math is some kind of badge of honor for a lot of people, but I'd hope that parents (or grandparents, these are newspaper strips after all) can stop for just one second and think that maybe telling their kids that they're learning math "wrong" is going to do some harm in the long run.

Part of the issue is that, precisely because "durr math hard" is such a widespread attitude, a fair number of folks never get enough exposure to the subject to realize there never was nor will be one absolutely correct way to learn or do math. Hell, a lot of interesting discoveries were born precisely out of someone applying a technique from one discipline to something traditionally belonging to another, and even in subjects old enough to be relatively "fixed" the pedagogical techniques have evolved considerably over the years (e.g. Infinitesimal based calculus vs limit based calculus). Basically, despite assertions that they think math is made up, a whole lot of people are actually ultra-conservative mathematical platonists, and it absolutely is going to do harm to their kids' math abilities in the long run.

FWIW this includes common core, especially when it's suddenly introduced to student's who have been learning a different way.

Oh, for sure, it's all a clusterfuck. I'm "lucky" enough to really only deal with the end result, a bunch of college students that can't do basic fractions. I have doubts that common core will change that.

I can't quite make up my mind on it either but it's got charm to it and that's something lacking in the zombie strips and a lot of the newer ones too. Like it's not trying to hold itself to a formula and instead actually doing something.

Why so glum, Troy Haupt illustration?

Read up on Troy Haupt, and the NFL doesn't want to buy his copy of Super Bowl 1 because the guy is asking a million dollars for it. While I think that's a little steep, that's like loving chump change to the NFL :psyduck:

Also, the NFL forbids him from selling it to a third party or they'll sue the living poo poo out of him. Again, a million dollars to the NFL is like a loose penny and dime under a car's seat :psyduck: Just buy the tape and show it to the fans and historians, for gently caress's sake.
