I don't think he's the one that saves her from the wreck, but Lynn did write a series of comics where Michael agonizes about how immoral and selfish he had been to just do his job and take photos instead of rushing in to save her. One suspects that is one of the several reasons Aaron doesn't talk to his mother anymore.

So it's still  right?Sam's Strip is a short lived strip from the early 1960's. It's about comic strips. It was by Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey, Hi and Lois) and Jerry Dumas (Sam and Silo). The main characters in this were re-booted into Sam and Silo in 1977, without the meta-humor.  Foxtrot is a favorite of mine, though I managed to never live anywhere a paper carried it until it went Sunday only. Let's start back at the beginning.

If there isn't a window, it isn't safe or legal as anyone's bedroom. That varies heavily by jurisdiction, and I think they only apply to initial homebuilders most of the time. The closet deathtrap's kosher! They just can't list it as a bedroom when they sell the house.

The 1922 Seattle Times called this "Grimes", but come on, y'all, that's Swedish cartoon legend Adamson (a.k.a. Silent Sam). And yet, for several months in this paper, it's carrying a name that I've never seen in references before. It's always interesting to stumble across something familiar flying under the "wrong" name.

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:They might have been married when introduced as characters back in the day. I'm impressed and a little jealous that, through some means or another (he only cites some storylines as being collected and reprinted), this fellow has read a long-running drama strip from the beginning. This is a neat article. I've had a suspicion I'd like, or at least appreciate, comics like Mary Worth more if I could read great big chunks of them at once, especially those that introduce major or currently-relevant characters (even if they're laaaaaaaame)

It's not actually a spa that's just what they're calling a normal hotel. Cheer Up Boss Dharma  Crab meat is considered upscale cuisine in South Korea today. The context of the conversation implies that Dharma is buying but I didn't have enough space to make that explicit. I've heard that eating at a crab restaurant here is only about half as much here compared to, say, Finland, but it's important to remember that eating at restaurants in South Korea in general is very cheap.

They just can't list it as a bedroom when they sell the house. Interesting, thanks! It's been the rule everywhere I've lived, so I thought it was a thing.  Still, I'd think that two firefighters would want a second egress for any room where someone sleeps, but apparently not in the Luanniverse. Tunicate posted:are they in the hospital? American Standard and Kohler are both companies that make bathroom fixtures, including the jetted tubs that are sometimes called spas (in the US; not sure about elsewhere), so I think its just that in the Dinette Setters' world the two meanings of the word "spa" are conflated. Fake edit: turns out that the same Kohler who started the bathtub company did start a resort-spa, so I'm not sure where that leaves the joke.

So maybe I'll just get through that and see what the consensus is. I like it so far. But even if I didn't, there are plenty of comics in this thread that are way worse and the assholes who post them don't appear to give a poo poo who gets hurt. For example,

Technically I think you could get away with having just a door leading outside, with no connection to the rest of the house (ala that lovely roommate storytime).
