So, did this ceremony happen before or after he was laid?

Yes, this is what every woman wants, to gently caress a guy then have him force you to marry him. This is good and healthy. This is romance.

The slumping, defeated posture of the mom bums me out. Her dumb kids, which she tries so much to love, endlessly spout nonsense, yet she can't bring herself to rebuke them. She's like the anti-Lynn.

It's weird they have that blank there. I wonder if they left it blank to fill it in later and forgot, or if they had the wrong name there originally, or if it's a statement all on its own.

There was a Family Circus some time back that I remember vividly. Mom had just taken all the kids out to get ice cream, but the baby PJ had dropped his ice cream cone and was upset. One of the older boys was saying, "Don't cry, PJ! Mommy will give you her ice cream cone!" And she was just standing there holding her ice cream with that same defeated look on her face and you could tell that she'd been really looking forward to that ice cream, just one simple happy thing in her day, and goddammit, now she'd have to give it to the toddler, because of course that's what you have to do in this situation.

And I felt so bad for her and I thought, "Yeah. That's what motherhood is all about. Sacrificing yourself for the good of the children. Thank God I don't have kids."

Yes, Japanese people(they're translated[not by me]), and both, though I try to explain what cultural references I spot. Honey Come Chatka in particular is a parody of Japanese idols.

My favorite part is that competing youth gangs would get into territorial fights because only the first group to show at a doorstep would be paid. Imagine dobbelgangers dressed as King Herode and others larping with wooden swords trying to wreck the other team's props! I would pay to see that.

In Japan, an idol of the type Honey Come Chatka parodies was forced to make an apology video shaving off her hair in atonement for the scandal of having a boyfriend. It wasn't even adultery or anything, they're just expected to be pure virgin barbie dolls for the otaku audience to fantasize themselves with. So, clearly, Funky Winkerbean needs a setting shift.

WaPo link. Civil War cannons did sometimes use explosive projectiles, though I guess you could make arguments either way as to whether they should be called "cannonballs". Ripley's still not quite right, though, because it sounds like they were unearthed by the storm rather than washed ashore.

Yes, the joke is that even thought he's shopping for a tree online, pine needles wind up on his floor. It's not the best joke, but it's comprehensible.
