It's interesting how many more lines Janis has in modern A&J than in the older ones. I wonder if that was a conscious choice. She seems more like a prop for Arlo a lot of the time in the 90s.

I'm not well-versed enough in recent South Korean history to answer that, but I would guess the current laws were specifically designed to counter that situation. Because that's what you're supposed to do when the leader does bad things. Fight them as they happen, not get hung about hypothetical situations that might never actually come to pass.

Man, either the artist really hates Iris, or Mary Worth is literally stealing Iris's life force every time she invites her over for snacks and lame advice. She didn't look this much like a withered mummy back when she was moving apartments, but now...I mean, holy poo poo. Where is your loving nose, Iris? You're approaching Dick Tracy villain levels of disfigurement!

I really hope the writer is going to really run with making PW a fleshed out character like this. This is better than the main character who is really just kind of boring and not in a relatable way

I genuinely miss the old Mary Worth artist. Not that this new one is bad, in fact she's very competent, but it lacks a certain je ne sais quoi when it isn't some alternate universe filled with pantsuit wearing clones of the same 7 people.

The old art had that perfect balance of ineptness and rigidness that made the writing ironically amusing. The new art is very good, and makes the writing just mediocre.

Leslie looks strangely sincere. Could it be he really was trying to be nice????

Wizardgoat posted:

I can’t wait to read the next few episodes. Several months ago, I complained that the strip was in a boring phase. But this is absolutely over the top, and has us all on the edge of our seats!!!

gromit82 posted:

Even if Les was trying to be nice, it’s hard to give him credit for this gift. (1) We, the readers, know that Les stole a lot of the money he collected for the youth program, so we can’t think of him as generous for buying an expensive gift with stolen money. (2) We know that Pru is a lesbian, so Les’s attempt to romance her by buying jewelry is futile. (3) Even if Les hadn’t stolen the money and if Pru were heterosexual, it would still be considered socially inappropriate for a man to buy expensive jewelry for a woman whom he didn’t already have a close relationship with.

Bryan Shipley posted:

Let’s see: he used money he stole from charity to buy a gift for someone in a Secret Santa he set up under false pretenses (and which he cheated at anyway.) This is him being nice? It reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Lisa tries to reform Mr Burns, but even when he’s trying to be good he’s still evil.

Merry Christmas! :j:
