Countblanc posted:this joke always confuses me a bit whenever it comes up (and "homework over winter break" jokes seem to happen a lot). not because of the homework itself but because all of my classes as far back as I remember, certainly all of middle and high school, had concrete endings at the end of the semester. very, very few classes stretched over a year, the vast majority were a semester long. My middle school classes were a year long, though my high school ones were generally a semester. But that didn’t matter since the semester didn’t end at the end at winter break.

The entirely of Gilchrist Nancy turns out to be the fever-dream of Phil Fumble, who awakens dumpy and still single. Panel 2: He runs after Nancy, who has stolen his socks for reasons unknown. In the background, a cowboy hat lies abandoned in a dustbin. Simian_Prime fucked around with this message at 10:44 on Jan 4, 2018 |

Or it all turns out to be a horror story Nancy's been spinning for that poor guy who looks after her (or rather who is married to the woman who looks after her) when Aunt Fritzi is away.

Zamboni_Rodeo posted:I can tolerate that a lot easier than I can a strip like Curtis, where Curtis actually changes grades every year but he always has the same loving teacher. Doesn't he just change grades into the same grade? Like, there's talk about being older and changing classes and stuff but any time actual numbers come up they're the same every year. So every year he has the same new teacher in the same new class and has another birthday where he stays the same age, etc. It's pretty standard in cartoons and comics.

Randaconda posted:Bloom County Well that's a lot less amusing now Geraldo used to be a legitimate journalist, having lost his mind somewhere around the time a skinhead broke his nose on TV in the peak of 80s tabloid television; IIRC his decline will be shown in the strip. FBI camel traders is Abscam, which will be referenced in a later set of strips.

But it seems like Billingsley makes more of a big deal about it than other strips, I dunno.  And then there's this.

The benefit of hindsight here makes this delicious. Is she going to bitch about kids not seeing the value of cursive next? I'm not sure when these strips originally ran, but I'm guessing late 90s? Early enough for these newfangled computers to be the scary new thing destroying the good old ways, but late enough that the average kid would be doing a lot of school writing on a computer.

^^^^ Ugh. Instead of making big long-winded rants on bullshit and taking righteous stands on your use of the word "retarded," why can't people like this guy just say "You know what? That word is pretty inappropriate in this day and age, and I should make an effort to stop using it, particularly when I use it to make fun of things I think are stupid." Wouldn't that just be easier? Is it really that important to this guy? Johnny Aztec posted:Hey thanks, I was sorta trying to AVOID spoilers, but sure just barf it out first thing in your post.

I figure this is leading either to a "he loves his new family so much we'll let him stay" scenario or an abduction plot. Probably the former.
