A Hobbit's Adventure

I think the worst part of this is that it's clear Gilchrist took like twice as long drawing Fritzi as the entire rest of the comic, but she still comes out looking completely unnatural.
gah, in conclusion, gently caress Gilchrist.

For a long time Chickweed has featured oldsters getting all horned up when thinking about (or watching) their children loving, and vice versa. It makes the fact that Brooke has a daughter a little troubling.

Either Jam Esallen is more than a month ahead on his Sunday strips, or just doesn't really give a poo poo about bees. Probably both?

The rusty patched bumblebee's protected species status is still up in the air -- it got thrown onto the "Let's not enact anything the previous President signed" pile in January, and they only assigned a deadline for finally deciding what to do about it last month; it's entirely possible that on March 21st (the new deadline), they'll just let the ruling die quietly, the same way the bees will. :(

As a key pollinator of crops like apples, tomatoes, and peppers, it's estimated that the death of this species will cost US growers anywhere from $9 billion to $15 billion a year. So that's nice.

I worked in a movie theater for two months as a teenage and maybe cared about the whole "no outside food" thing for maybe a week? There's no incentive for you not to let them in, it's just a pain in the rear end for both me and the customer, and none of the extra sales from popcorn or nachos is going in my pocket, so why should I give a poo poo?

What I'm saying is that "Curtis" probably has the only usher left in the universe who cares about outside food in the theater.

You could peek in on Gil Thorp and see if it's gotten any less bland. It used to have insane stories about idiot high schoolers sawing off their own arms or high school football coaches working summers as bodyguards for rock stars, combined with legendarily awful art. Then the artist changed (and maybe the writer, too?), and it got super-dull.

Actually, the old, crazy-rear end era of Gil Thorp strips might be worth posting if the new one still sucks; I think most people here haven't read any of them, or wouldn't mind seeing them again.

What I'm saying is that "Curtis" probably has the only usher left in the universe who cares about outside food in the theater.
As someone who currently works in a theater, it's to create an atmosphere which makes it clear that any outside food found on your person while in the theater will be taken and thrown away. The reasons to establish this atmosphere mostly have to do with the owner bitching at the managers when concession sales go down, which leads to the managers making things more unpleasant for the workers, so it's in the interest of everyone except the customers.

Also, having the highest sales at my theater occasionally leads to a raise, so those extra sales do end up going into a worker's pocket.

I used to think the Viivi and Wagner was about a woman and also a woman who happened to be a pig who were roommates and I thought that was a pretty funny premise if not a great comic. Then I realized that the pig is actually male, explaining the name, and that they are partners/married. At that point I thought it was kind of an autobiographical strip by a woman po(r)king fun at the foibles of male-female relationships because the lady seems to be the POV character in which case, fine okay. But yesterday I found out that it's written by a dude and potentially as far as I can tell not even biographical. So it gets worse the more accurate my understanding of the strip is. BUT I still posit that if you imagine them as two female roommates one of whom just happens to be a pig there's more potential there.

You know, I think the thing that annoys me most about this comic is that pose that Dustin's father is doing in the last panel. Bending backwards, throwing their head back and grimacing. It just looks so dumb and it's always in response to something that deserves a much milder response (if any response at all).

They're playing a popular game where people wear mufflers and yell words loudly at each other down a line to see if the person at the end guesses the correct one.



There's no translation because I don't have a clue what the punchline is supposed to be. It could literally be anything. Even if you don't speak Korean it's more parsable this way.

Mother From Another Country



That editorial's not from me in response to that comment from several days ago asking what the point of the comic is. Evidently Park Seong-hoon actually started getting flak for that around this time and I'm guessing it's why we're like one comic away from the end of the first season. Don't really want to get into the second season right away. Do have an idea for a temporary replacement though.

edit: how exactly do you regular Mac users function? Using this thing makes me feel like I've got an arm tied behind my back.

If Dustin was really sick, the Boomer Dad figures, he should be inside in bed or on the couch. He wouldn't be completely better by 5 PM or whenever Boomer Dad gets home from work.
