You know, I wouldn't give a poo poo about the skeevyness of Nancy and it's apparent fandom if it wasn't ostensibly a comic about a little girl. That just makes it really, really weird.

God loving drat it. Evans just can't help himself, can he?

His uncle Al may have a lesson in 50 Shades of Black and Blue for him when he discovers that he has violated everyone’s trust. Particularly his…

Les has learned diplomacy. He’s become more of a con-man and less of a bully. I guess this represents some “maturity” for him.

You just gave me a great idea for a short story on crime fiction; the progression of a criminal from young bully-hood through pickpocketing and petty theft all the way to sophisticated internet cons. And the whole thing run as a kind of shadow university, paralleling law school, so the products of each school keep each other in business for centuries….

Where I live, there are panhandlers who stand on the traffic meridians, or where people need to go, in the public walkways, seeking donations (even in the suburbs). Now, there are many kinds….you have basketball coaches with whistles and clip boards, and sometimes you see the team wearing their uniforms. You have some groups collecting toward disease research…there are firemen collecting for charities.
-
Then, there are those selling flowers, or certain wares….or those funding their causes by adverting their car wash…or spinning signs for businesses, apartment communities and the like. or there are sometimes well meaning “squeegie kids”, looking to earn money, by squeegieing your windows or hawking cool beverages on a hot day.
-
Sadly, though, you have those who are seeking aid on those meridians, having fallen on hard times. Some carry signs, and really do seek to obtain employment, or, already using shelter and employment services, are hoping to sincerely use anything collected to just get bus fare or will willingly accept actual food.
-
Through all these cases, there is also a challenge. What is it? It’s in identifying the real from the ‘not so real’. It’s in asking: “Is there such a thing as a scammer, among these?”. One may readily think of the ones on hard times as the ‘scammers’ (unfortunately, some in my area do hope to tug on some heartstrings, to get monies for their fixes/vices). But…there are also cases of many who start fake groups, print up signs/t shirts. Or are actually posing as rough shaven or bringing out kids and wearing ‘ragged’ clothes…but actually go home to not so unfavorable conditions (I remember a documented case of a family caught on video, as the mother and children climbed into a very nice minivan, being tracked as heading on their way to a pretty decent living space). Doing so, because it’s “tax free”. There are also those who have shaved their kids’ heads, or have solicited for kids who don’t know the extent to which they’re being used, or who carry fake pics and say it’s for them.
-
So…of course it’s important to help. And, of course, you can’t always ‘screen’ people’s causes, right then and there. But it’s also good, when you can, to do some ‘observational work’… to see if such groups really operate legitimately, or in the case of those seeking money who ‘look like they need it’, actually purchase food or offer other practical things, instead of just money, directly. In some instances, you could then be able to see who really needs and appreciates the help.

There’s also a line in Weird Al’s parody song “Trapped In The Drive Thru”, where the fast food clerk tells them: “It’s gotta be cash, on- ly -yyy…we don’t take credit cards, here!” (♪).

You know, Heavenly Nostrils is one of the best modern newspaper comics, but I hate that I know why she makes these jokes about shaving.

Ugh, gently caress those people. This is the most humanizing detail of Tiffany we've ever seen. Sympathy! Troubled background!

It all started as a cartoon about Fritzi Ritz, Gilchrist is just returning to the roots with how he even re-introduced Phil Fumble! Truly he's more faithful to his sources than Bushmiller ever was.

Tiffany is the friendliest character in the strip, and it's disregarded because she's a bit vain. it's really weird. I can't wait for this to be spun that her letting the girl use makeup is a bad thing. God forbid she have fun.

You know what, I'm shocked, but Sally Forth has it in it to be hilarious.
