Bringing you Barry from the sordid depths of the Internet

Some Guy TT posted:

Considering how every character in this comic looks and talks exactly the same I wouldn't be able to tell either. It took me way too long just to figure out that the short ones were supposed to be kids. That stupid tie really didn't help either. How old are they supposed to be anyway? Elementary school? Who wears ties to elementary school?

No, you'd be able to recognize this character because she's generically Asian.

It is fitting that Nancy is a ‘woman in black’ in today’s strip. In the last panel, between the look on her face and the visual metaphor of the ice cubes sinking to the bottom of the glass, it is as if Nancy is saying that if Toni messes Brad over and breaks his heart, she might end up visiting the bottom of the Pitts River.

People are reacting too rashly to Nancy’s comment. There is not a mother in the same situation who would not feel the same way. Especially a secret “tiger” mom. Nancy is not the Asian idea of a tiger mom, strictly regulating her children’s lives to achieve great educational and life results, but a tiger mom protecting her cubs if she feels someone who can get into the deepest part of their being, a wife, does something, I think intentionally, to hurt their hearts. Toni is never going to do that, and I remember at the time (we get so emotionally into this stupid strip -:) this whole event occurred with Toni and Brad,and Dirk, and after, that I actually disliked Nancy, and her reaction to Toni after Brad basically risked his life to protect Toni. But I realize on reflection the true drama of the moment and why a mom would and could feel that way. Her heart was hurt as was that of her her son. Those of you who have never felt that way, well all I can say is that it hurts, and I know as a father, but I could never know as a mother does. But don’t worry, GE is not building us up for that kind of thing to happen, although admittedly the drama leading up to a wedding can be major. Some commentators have said “this is just a wedding.” That is not perceptive. In a family of love where there is tremendous ownership of that love with the parents for children, and Nancy and Frank are the embodiment of that, a wedding is never “just a wedding.” Remember a mom is a tigress. She protects her young. So Nancy is just being a mom. Toni is just going to be a wife, and Brad will have her as his most important woman, but his mom will always be the tigress.

I saw something like it in Japan at a cherry blossom viewing, where everyone puts blankets and tarps down at a park and gets tore up. Pizza Hut had people walking the grounds selling pizza, and even though you bring a picnic to this event, they were selling fast.

Until a few days ago when their age was mentioned I always thought they were like, 15 at least. (which now that I think about it is a good age for kids in family shows because their as old as you can get while still being stuck at home subject to kid life)

What is a Groucho Party? What is a Gaucho Party? Where would he have heard about chimichurri in the three word email? Who has auto correct on their work computer? If they do, why didn't they notice the obvious mistake in the subject line, of all places? What exactly was the best case scenario here? A room full of people dressed as Groucho Marx, and then back to work I guess? Why would this be blindly followed as a party theme in either case?

I don't know, Mike du Jour might beat Working Daze in terms of failing to make a joke so many different ways.

She and Willie used to be criminals and ran their own organization, although I believe they never murdered or dealt drugs. At some point they got out of the game and decided that being patriotic British agents was better. I think she's big on self-determination, and teaching foolish people a lesson.
