dismas posted:

Gil isn't so bad in that respect. His mom seems stressed about being a single parent and not having a ton of money but she doesn't make it seem like it's Gil's fault.

Also she looks genuinely happy when Gil is happy, rather than rolling her eyes or something.

All I've been able to come up with is maybe autocorrect will turn Fi to F.U. or something like that. Still doesn't make a lot of sense.

The Bloop: Jul 5, 2004; by Fluffdaddy

I thought the logo was a reference to Gilchrist's other strip Mudpie which is about an anthropomorphic cat that loves baseball. It was in the paper when I lived in RI many years ago before I knew who Gilchrist was.

Looks like the same art style.

So Cul de Sac and Wallace the Brave are the only comic strips that involve parenting or parent-child relationships that don't boil down to my child is an idiot and I loathe the day he or she escaped from my testicles/womb right?

Caveat: I discount Rose is Rose because everyone is a simp in that

Actually, I can't believe I forgot Baldo, whose joke is often "my children are TOO special and wonderful and I am TOO good of a father to them, how wacky!"

So, Will Henry actually contacted me on Twitter today and offered to send me an advance copy of the upcoming Wallace the Brave book as a thank-you for all the times I've promoted the strip on social media. I graciously accepted, and then we talked about kayaking. I'll take a picture when it gets here.

For Better or for Worse

Johnston posted:

In our house, it was of utmost importance to maintain good table manners. My mother went so far as to give us eating lessons. My brother and I learned to sit straight with a yardstick down our backs and a �Golden Book� under each arm.

We learned how to use our fork and knife in the English style, cutting with wrists up, dabbing the edibles onto the back of the fork. (Rarely should one �stab� at one�s food.) We were never to talk with our mouths full; never to reveal the mastication going on inside. Eating was often an ordeal. The benefits of the lessons, however, came to the fore at summer camp when we were the only kids who could eat comfortably while crushed onto a wooden bench with a line of other campers.

If mom saw us chewing with our mouths open, there was instant objection. This, of course made it mandatory that we eat as rudely as possibly when the moment was ripe. This strip was done in memory of these unfettered times.

Way I see it there's two ways this goes, both poo poo

1) Tiffany is depressed because she's *FAT* boohoo hoo no actual growth just let's poo poo on her because she was mean in High school or some crap like that

or

2) a B>U level melodramatic pile of poo poo with a big suicide attempt, which nothing is learned, more excuses to poo poo on Tiffany.

or If Evans gets a personality and brain transplant

3) a mature nuanced discussion of how someone who seems to 'have it all' can still have issues with depression which results in real and lasting character growth and maturity for all parties involved.
