Yeah, that thing about the lightbulbs is not true and has never been true. What it should say is "Believe it or not: Twenty years ago, some idiot in Melbourne who didn't know what the word 'exception' means read the new state safety laws governing electrical work and started a myth that's still around to this very day!"

SomeMathGuy posted:A dumb snarky quip stretched out into a multi-panel "joke" or a horrifying glimpse at how an old man's mind is slowly deteriorating but he is nevertheless still forced to confront philosophically and theologically troubling issues presented to him by the ugly realities of our own existence? You decide! The joke is that he convinced his daughter that his purple drank is "fruit juice." Sip dat sizzurp, Crunkshaft!

SomeMathGuy posted:"I assure you this plotline is completely realistic so stop second-guessing the ludicrous accumulation of wealth the Morgans experience on a daily basis. Jeez." This is probably the exact news they're drawing this storyline from: http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2013/06/13/superman-action-comics-issue-found-in-wall/2419837/ quote:A copy of Action Comics No. 1, the 1938 comic book that debuted Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster's Superman, was found in the walls of a Minnesota house during a renovation and sold for $175,000 on Tuesday, according to comic-book seller ComicConnect.com.

Daduzi posted:Can anyone explain this? The phone operator lady has been working a long day and desperately needs someone to cover for her. Her boss gets the signal and hires Mr. Tweedy, with the added responsibility. My other theory is that she wants to have sex with Mr. Tweedy but I'm not sure what the punchline is then.

Darthemed posted:I usually try to just ignore 9CL, but man, this shoehorning in of type-writers while ignoring how they work is just painfully stupid. Can't have the characters be so déclassé as to use computers, so let's just swap in something more bookish while retaining the same functionality.  "wacky" thing for the character who's even less in touch with reality than the rest of the strip to do. It not working like that is the point.

SomeMathGuy posted:Pearls Before Swine Landlines were never a particularly effective means of reaching an individual, they were just better in many instances than other means. When you phoned a landline, you had to hope the person was at that location and that they weren't busy. As soon as someone had a mobile phone you instantly eliminate one of those factors, and if you text them instead of calling then you eliminate both.
