Darthemed posted:Ripley's Brown Recluse bites aren't deadly, just extremely painful and gross. Your skin my necrotize around the bite, but as long as you keep it clean and it doesn't get infected, you should be fine. I guess if you are a kid or elderly, it might be deadly. I think some people have like an allergic reaction that attacks the whole body, too, but not most folks. But they aren't like Black Widow spiders, where it can literally kill you if you are unlucky enough and put you in the hospital regardless.

If you're a somewhat healthy adult, it won't kill you, but it'll probably hurt a whole lot.

Also, Gilchrist apparently doesn't know the difference between a Brooklyn accent and ebonics.

SomeMathGuy posted:I think it's a personification of suicide and the dad is just BSing his son because he's planning to off himself, but I'll admit the "Fear Him" take is a bit more entertaining. That's how I always read it when I've seen it. I thought it was pretty straight-forward but I guess not.

My guess on the pusher cartoon is that it's the personification of suicide and the kid would have killed himself but since he's getting a Game Boy he won't. Although if a stolen meatball will send you over the edge, I doubt it will be long before something else does. Selachian posted:As a former copy editor ... that poem is gonna kill me. I desperately need to get in there and fix the punctuation, spacing, and references (it's "They Call the Wind Maria," not "Mariah"). Manuel Calavera posted:Compu-Toon F Minus  Mary Worth  Well I for one look forward to seeing this band. I have hopes for a Gwar-esque thing, but my guess is that this is going to wind up being more about Iris being old and feeling out of place among these younger people and not about "these crazy kids with their loud rock music." Rex Morgan MD  "Do you want to tell her who won the election or should I?" Secret Agent X-9  So there are three unrelated crimes going on here all at once, or they're all mixed together amongst one group? I'm going to have to start taking notes on these storylines when the next one starts. Apartment 3-G  The Professor's making time with another man's wife. For shame.

I'd never heard of such a thing before the last comic outed her as a high school student and even now I'm kind of disbelieving. Here in Italy it's... sort of a thing. Some schools do a so-called "work experience" in which for about a week, instead of going to school, students go to whatever workplace (usually they pick from a list the school provides), and do actual work. Usually office work, so they don't fall afoul of OSHA's local equivalent. Sometimes they do a month full-time at a workplace during summer vacation, get paid something (when I did it a dozen-odd years ago it was like four euros per hour? I forget) and get school credit.

It doesn't help that he just invalidated his whole stupid plot point we've been sitting through for the past god-knows-how-many months due to one of the characters just holding a bullshit 30-second "wedding".

I'd never heard of such a thing before the last comic outed her as a high school student and even now I'm kind of disbelieving. Internships are definitely a thing here in the USA. We normally farm out for interns right after senior graduation so they are 18. They work for free in an area they are interested in and see if they like the environment and if they are a good fit for the company. After that, they may be offered a job, or more likely, they'll just peddle that experience into some kind of college credit.
