Title Guy's Luann titles remind me of the bad pun teasers at the end of the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons. So I'm guessing this guy grew up with Rocky and Bullwinkle in its original run and is therefore retired and has nothing better to do with his time or grew up with the show on Cartoon Network like I did and is therefore my age and therefore frighteningly enthusiastic about those daily titles.

Then again I spend parts of my day getting angry at a goddamned comic strip for being so terrible so who am I to judge?

I don't really read it but as far as I know the people making Deadpool have yet to sink so low as to just outright use a photograph for the background and then draw over top of it in a cartoon style

But it's kind of a mess. On 6/21 Sarah said "don't talk nerd in front of my dad". The day before she said "play your part and it'll all go smoothly." On 6/30 she was insisting on making their relationship a real thing.

And then yesterday, her thought and expression seemed like she really wanted dad to beat up Skippo.

"Yeah it turns out that in the 21st century, a secluded tibetan monastery is no longer the best place to learn the secret knowledge of the world. Also they aren't accredited so my degree in Tibetan history is not really opening up a lot of job opportunities here. Can I crash in the cave for a while while I kinda figure things out?"
