SuperKlaus posted:The kid "starts talking like a drunk sailor" but what we see is "foreigner." Is there a particularly derogatory term for "foreigner" in Korean? We see the term come up a lot in MFAC of course and I'm kind of curious how Korean words for "foreigner" compare to like gweilo and gaijin. The actual term used was "drunken old man" but I thought that sounded weird in English (no stereotype of old drunkards in this culture) so I went with the closest substitute, forgetting that "drunken sailor" contains implications of being a potty mouth. The word foreigner is not considered a slur, just kind of rude in second person speech. I use it in first person speech all the time.

dismas posted:I believe it means he was briefly recruited by the Arizona Cardinals (as a player? a coach?) Yeah, "cup of coffee" usually refers to a very brief stint in whatever the relevant professional league is (as a player). It's not that uncommon to call the Arizona Cardinals "the Cards", either. My favorite part of this strip is that it continues to deepen the inherent despair of Funky Winkerbean's world from "everyone is still in the same lovely Ohio town where they went to high school" to "they also tried really hard to escape but failed"! readingatwork posted:CB fighting back is the kind of thing you just don't see after 1960 or so which is too bad. 1960 on is basically "the learned helplessness years".

I've never seen long division written like that either. It's the line under the three that seems out of place.

...and the pitch! posted:What is it about the bus I like? I never laugh. There's only one mute character. It's a comic that relies a lot on The Meta. Any one strip is hit-or-miss, but the overall concept of a comic strip about a Bus and how that concept gets applied and warped and twisted and turned on its head in so many ways is what's so great about it. Imagine someone drawing the classic comic strip trope of "guy stranded on an island with one palm tree" every single day for a year, but the artist is so loving clever about subverting the trope and mixing it up on a daily basis that by the end of the year you are ten times more impressed at the artist for the feat than you are bored by seeing the same concept in a strip every day.
