Tiggum posted:Do you? What is it? The Chargers are moving to Los Angeles this year. They've been in flux for awhile now because the dirtbag billionaire owner has been trying to extort the city of San Diego into buying a stadium for him. The situation has been going on for awhile now, so it was real bad judgment on the part of the writer to pick that particular team out of thirty-two for this plot point I know all this because greater San Diego is my hometown. I'm kind of sad the football team that's been there for my whole childhood is gone now, but at the same time I'm proud of the region for telling the Chargers management to go gently caress themselves instead of handing out corporate welfare. The situation is not likely to end well for the Spanos family, since by all accounts Los Angeles doesn't even care about the football team they just got that actually has a history there, so it's hard to see them putting much money into ours. Tracksuit   I like how this comic keeps reminding me what the characters' names are because otherwise I would totally forget. It's All Right Chief Dharma   Here's a good test case for knowing whether or not a problem is caused by Korean culture. If it has to be explained to people not yet in the workforce, that's corporate culture, not national culture.

Okay, I can't be the only one upset about the Museum of Monster Tolerance joke right? I mean, the Museum of Tolerance's message amounts to "Genocide is bad!" They even have a section where you walk thru a simulated gas chamber. So to invoke the Museum of Tolerance's name for such a crappy joke...

I'm torn between being kind of pissed off at it and kind of sad that there isn't a museum where I can climb a small empire state building and swat at biplanes.

The Classic Dinette Set is in a race against time. Working Daze fails to make a joke in order to make a Monty Python reference very few people would get.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix gives us closure.

The situation has been going on for awhile now, so it was real bad judgment on the part of the writer to pick that particular team out of thirty-two for this plot point. Well, to be fair to Armstrong, he's had Marcus (the character in the strip who facilitated the job offer) playing for the Chargers for several years now, so it's more bad luck than bad judgment on his part. (also, as a long time Jump Start reader, can I say I'm really sick of Ray Ramsey at this point? It feels like Armstrong is bored with his usual cast so he's putting everything into this new character.)

The contrast between classic Nancy and modern Nancy is often remarked upon, but my God is it stark today. Like, what really strikes me is that original Nancy is about an anarchic, punchy free spirit, while the Nancies we are now burdened with are these little simpering hymnals with no jokes in them. Even apart from the art being god awful, everything about the tone is wrong too.

I mean, I get tired of everyone quoting the same two or three lines from MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech because you *know* that they've never read anything else of his. (The one about "not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character" gets trotted out on the reg by conservative political cartoonists.) But using Elvis, really?

I for one applaud Gilchrist for pandering to an old and out of touch population with music references instead of taking the more popular "those drat millennials and their political correctness"-style approach. And give him the finger for everything else.

There've been worse ways to remember MLK. There's a company that sells military Lego-style kits. They called Martin Luther King a fighter for civil rights and gave a discount on their wares in his honor. The discount also includes all their Vietnam War stuff.
