SomeMathGuy posted:This is probably a by-product of my only being introduced to Wee Pals via this thread and only ever seeing Morrie Turner near the end of his life (I think it was literally a year before he died) but man, it's a little weird thinking about him ever being that young. That episode was filmed in 1971, I believe

shortspecialbus posted:Finally, a comprehensible Tracksuit, even if it's not exceptionally funny. I used to really like this comic, but it's gotten really "miss" lately, either being incomprehensible or just not funny. I feel the same way. At first I wondered if I was just being daft and missing the joke (even in some of the translated ones).

So are strips like Baby Blues and Foob and Marvin and the like meant to be a "oh man isn't having kids wacky, look how the funnies commiserate with me" thing or a "HOLY gently caress DON'T HAVE KIDS DON'T HAVE KIDS THEY'RE loving AWFUL DEMONS RUN AWAY GET TIED AND SNIPPED" thing

Commiseration is a major recurring theme of the comics page and has been since its inception.

shortspecialbus posted:I usually love this comic and can figure out the joke in 9/10 of them, but I kinda am missing it in this one I think, or at least how it fits the narrative - I think it's just the dad being goofy, but I'm wondering if there's more to it. Well, midway through their shocked reaction at the diver being a foreigner is because Jeju women divers are traditional culture specific to the island, to the tune of several hundred years if not more. Seeing a woman wearing that kind of outfit come out of the ocean with a bucket of fish turn out to be white would, indeed, be very surprising. Haifisch posted:2000 Spiderman I refuse to read this in context that last panel's too funny as a punchline. Tracksuit  The lump disappears without explanation in the second half. That really confused me when I first read it. Most likely it's just an artist error.  The whole thing is a riff on a fairy tale. The joke being that the word for the mythical item in question would refer to something completely different in a modern context. Mother From Another Country  That seems to be a matter of interpretation though.

That's why there's only a handful of comics like Cul-De-Sac or Calvin that have a good balance between entertaining and heartwarming, and a million lovely FBofW-caliber comics about running out of diapers on Thanksgiving or whatever the gently caress. And if you remove ALL the negative stuff and have zero talent then you end up with Rose is Rose, which is dog poo poo. So I guess I'm grateful there's not more of that.

Haha I love classic Thimble Theatre so much. This storyline is pure lunacy and it's great. Also I want to throw a shout out for Ali's Place because it's probably my favorite comic that's been added to the thread in the last while. Spirit of the Staircase seems like something I might like if I could actually read it, but for whatever reason I find the character designs so off-putting on some deep level that I just can't read it. It's not a dig against the strip (and by no means stop posting it ofc.) I don't know what it is exactly, but I can't get past it  Edit: SomeMathGuy posted:Everyone bombed this quiz I gave. Could it be that I didn't convey the material effectively, or that the quiz was too hard? No, it must be down to the sort of rampant cheating I could easily prevent with active proctoring." The University of Wisconsin math program prides itself on failing as many students as possible in the 220 level calc courses. When I took it back in 1999 or whatever, the professor was bragging on the first day of class that the highest anyone had ever gotten on one of his exams in the 20+ years he'd been teaching was a 63% (or something), and after each exam the class average was usually around 23% or so. I heard from friends that pretty much all the professors did that. I don't see how that's something to be proud of - it means you're either a terrible teacher or your exams are atrocious. I personally think it was a bit of both - the exams were designed to trick you and almost all of the material on them wasn't covered in lectures or book work. I hate poo poo like that. ssb fucked around with this message at 18:01 on May 23, 2017 |
