How many more marriage story lines do we have to go through before we get to Edda and Amos? Is this Brooke's version of edging?

I just realized I have no idea who Spencer is and, in fact, I have no idea the names of just about any character on here, except Ernie and I guess Uncle Sid. I am OK with that.

So now I've got to look at this dude slipping his hand up this woman's skirt after making sure we all know she's not wearing panties and Christ, Brooke, this is the funny pages! I got kids here! :rant:

I mean, I don't actually have any kids and if I did they wouldn't read the funnies and I hate the mindset that newspaper comics all have to be for kids anyway, but that doesn't mean we should all be happy to have to look at Brooke's wank material day after day after day.

How to cock it up, Fig. I


Pretty sure that Piro is gonna wonder how she got his number. So she'll have to either say she stole it from Tiffany's phone or that Tiffany gave it to her (after refusing once before I think?). Also holy poo poo, she wants to be a guidance counselor and thinks this poo poo is ok? If this was a good comic, she'd come to a realization of how absolutely hosed her behavior was, but no, this is gonna be either her gettin' a man or something something Tiffany is such a slut.

Luann alternates with Dilbert as my least favorite comic.
Also, random question, but I don't remember RAs having crazy inspect whenever they want powers at college. Does it differ from place to place?

I don't remember what the agreement said for my dorms, but in practice you didn't get inspected unless poo poo was blatantly going on. RAs had better things to do than snoop in random rooms for shits and giggles.

So yes, she's basically The Worst for all the positions of authority she wants to take.

Is her telling him to get some sunscreen another possibly-racist comment, or just a loose translation of him having thin skin?

Some Guy TT
Aug 30, 2011

Both interpretations are correct. That one was actually a pretty direct translation. The mule one was a lot weirder- I first thought the word meant "fried", as in fried food that kids like to eat, and they were calling him immature. The expression "stubborn as a mule" was the closest corollary I could think of to that, although really, I was lucky English has a word that means half-breed but is also insulting in a non-racist way. "Sub Rosa" is, by contrast, almost completely incomprehensible.
