It's fine, the comic about contemporary issues affecting young adults is the one where an old man is grappling with modern technology and can't remember where he put his keys while parked in front of the home he owns. Just like the millennials do!

I love it because it's very similar to modern observational humor and feels pretty dang relatable. It's truly timeless and matched in that regard only by perhaps Peanuts and Calvin & Hobbes. You could start a successor called That Feel When and there'd be no difference at all.

What? No, Nancy. No one would ever think of making that particular analogy ever. That would not just come to any actual human being's mind first thing upon seeing a tortoise and hare racing. Of course that wouldn't ever actually happen either. This whole strip is dumb and contrived and it has been all week it's like they went out of their way to find the worst, most annoying possible week to rerun so Gilchrist can take a vacation at the Christian Resort on Oldies Beach at Country-Western Lake or something and I just hate Nancy so much! :argh:

Mark Trail Meets Fish Pogroms

I know I'm being ridiculous and have read too much scifi/dystopian future stuff, but a part of me thinks that if the problem is "there's too many of this one fish in a place it doesn't belong," the solution of "let's create a super-herpes to kill them all" is not the ideal one.

My dad has one of the novels (short story collections?) on his shelf. I keep meaning to pinch it and see what it's like.

The strip and the books both have the same author -- in fact, O'Donnell was insistent that no one but him should ever write Modesty (from seeing James Bond get handed off to other writers in the '80s, perhaps?).

Christ, were people like this about, I don't know, bottled water? "Kids these days are so self absorbed they demand their water be free of minerals and come in convenient bottles! Well, we smart old people know how to get free water, all you need is a sink and a tin can, yes indeed!"

Old people constantly complain about the future not being as good as they expected when they were kids and yet seem to despise every single basic improvement.

People were like this about the invention of writing.

"for this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners’ souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves. The specific which you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality."
