I remember reading this one in a collection I got from my library. In the intro it said that O'Donnell almost didn't run this story (I forget why). It's a really good one.

You might have gathered by now that the writer of Tracksuit, like most men in Korea, really, really hates mandatory military service.

Tara: So, you know MY fascinating story. What's yours, Luann?
Luann: ...
Luann: ...
Luann: ... *fart*


Today's featured comment:

A Fan of this Strip posted:

I’m beginning to think Tara is brought to the strip solely to mirror Luann, for her to see herself for who she is – a boring, bland, uninteresting, gutless, unimaginative, not to smart teenager/young adult. Tara is energetic, adventurous, gutsy, curious, creative (except when she says “I’m kidding!”) smarter (she got in at Moony University – universities are harder to get in than community colleges – have to get in by the base score on the ACT Test)…and she has been showcasing all that and gradually, Luann will begin to see that and realize just how opposite she is. She is already crossing off a itch list that is not all that adventurous. Will she then decide she wants to be a different person? Have an epiphany? A life changer. God, I hope so because she is SO boring.

They do, but every other characterization of sluggo would make him be one of the kids whose print handwriting is illegible and who would be "too lazy" to ever choose to write in cursive.

Not exactly. Those self scans are rather snippy about what the stuff you scan weighs, so you can't just toss extra stuff into the bagging area and unless you "forget" something in your cart you aren't stealing anything (easily).

Also, that previous story arch ended as I feared. A big wet fart. What a boring conclusion to a multi-week and arguably multi-year story arc. (Yes they may pick it up again, but the current conclusion is crappy)

Well, until Cooper realises he can now do anything he wants and not get fired.

He has retail immortality.


Also, where I am, they've just turned the scales off on the self serve due to people doing their week's shopping and running out of room on the little platform and having to put some of their stuff on the ground.

I wonder if there's a connection in Dustin's author thinking ordering water at a restaurant is a faux pas and him most closely identifying with the character that often has a punchline of "can't just seem to lose weight."

Dear Guy Who Writes Dustin,

Young people drink water now. It is not because they are cheap, it is because young people actually like drinking water. It's better for them than soda. Young people order water at restaurants all the time. If the waitress were working there for more than a day, she would be familiar with the concept and not feel the need to get a sick burn on her potential tippers. Have you ever met a young person or a waitress?

Sincerely,
Julet Esqu





1. NO!! Not SEEEEX!!!! Dear God, she's only 18!!
2. Luann, you dumb bitch, you live with a theater person. Your ex boyfriend of a million years was a theater person. You know a person who was in a movie and you may or may not have also been in it. You have an IRL musical about you. gently caress.

I wonder if this is a "Waitresses are always rude to me, they must be rude to everyone" situation here. Like, he goes to a restaurant and treats everyone as though they are his own person servant and ready to listen to his every inane complaint, and when they respond by treating him like an rear end in a top hat he just assumes that's how wait staff are.
