Outbursts of Everett True



The only way I can make sense of the punchline is a reference to Sherman's quote "War is hell," which seems an oddly unpatriotic thought for Wartime Everett.

There's something really uncomfortable to me about the guy who writes the dozens of fake Luann comic titles. Like, maybe once or twice would be okay, but it's seriously about a dozen for each strip.

That bird is basically drawn actual size - those finches are about six inches in length. I'm no artist but I'm pretty sure that means, even accounting for perspective, these relative scales don't loving work. I know you're deeply upset at the notion that Jam Esallen could have made a poor artistic decision.

:psyduck: Don't US carriers' long-haul flights have individual video screens with a video library the way like British Airways does? (Apologies if that's a dumb question, but the last time I flew a US carrier long-haul it was Pan Am and Margaret Thatcher was prime minister).

If not, couldn't Thing 1 and Thing 2 just load up a tablet with books and shows or whatever? I think it's been almost 20 years since I was on an overseas flight where they showed a single film to the entire cabin.

I am spending too much time being annoyed at this strip when I've got Nancy and that blond prince Valiant in Mary Worth and Super Sarah to go :argh: about, too.

From the "Huh, I Didn't Know That" file ... I was noodling around and discovered that both Big Ben Bolt and Juliet Jones were ghostwritten by a guy named Elliot Caplin, who happened to be Al Capp's brother. Hope he wasn't as much of a schmuck.

Depends on the plane, but yes, as do many Asian carriers that fly between here and there. No, there's no stopping you from bringing a tablet, laptop, or other portable media player loaded with your own choices. There's also no stopping you from bringing an Ambien. There are also longer flights out there than NYC-Hong Kong. None of this would be a big deal or surprise to people who travel often, such as professional orchestral musicians and dancers.

Nancy isn't a fetish comic-that'd require a fetish. This is just plain old cheesecake. Arlo and Janis, on the other hand...requiring that the woman you love be unaware of your voyeurism, and being disappointed when she consents? That's a fetish comic. My disgust is matched only by the shame I feel knowing it was allowed to be published.

If these are supposed to be Eric Sahara's wife and daughter, then the colorist forgot that the wife is black.

Usually we're supposed to hate Shannon for being an annoying lovely kid who's always seeking attention, that way we don't hate Toni for constantly dumping her on other people.

At the moment, though, it is probably safe to think that we're supposed to find Shannon's act cute because the Evanses are more interested in making us hate Jonas, Shannon's father, because he's always dumping Shannon on other people.
