Tiggum posted:I think Brad's parents own the place? So it's not like a normal renting situation. I could be wrong though. They do, but even then it's a case of, "Let's put a whole new room on this house! But we better be careful what we paint the room because the landlords won't want us making any weird changes!"

Letting a child pick her favorite out of a few paint swatches will definitely kick off her moral degradation The real kicker for me is that repainting a small bedroom takes, what, half a day? And hard and soft furnishings are all replaceable. What I'm saying is let the kid have some fun.

i have never lived in a place where the landlord cared how you painted it, as long as you gave it a neutral color when you moved out.

Like you literally remodeled a house you don’t own to accommodate a child that stays with you a weekend every other month. Just go whole hog and let her personalize it the way she likes it you loving rear end in a top hat

John "Dok" Hager was the house cartoonist for the Seattle Daily Times. This is a feature kept popping up for a decade and some change beginning in 1912, in addition to the lead duck being a sidekick in the front-page weather cartoon. (March 19-21, 1923)

I don't know why it took me until now, but Holbrook really does love babies with super powers. Or maybe it's just weird babies in general like the human born to the rabbit (who was a human from human world originally that replaced her animal world version of herself)  Selachian posted:Also, if this is really a nerdy geeky strip for nerds, you wouldn't have to throw in a goddamn footnote to make sure everyone got your movie reference. I mentioned it before but it's so weirdly geek-adjacent. Like why is the author making a comic about geek stuff when they don't seem to be actually into it and also don't expect (or respect, maybe?) their audience to also be into it?

I think she's specifically told her staff to kill rabbits because she hates Kevin, but if she kills him (or tells anyone to directly) then that would be murder because she knows him.

If they have advanced technology why don't the predators in Kevin and Kell just clone cuts of meat, no murder involved? I mean, if Holbrook is trying to present the murder as not the motive for most of them. If everyone is sapient prey species have the awareness to control their own populations with, like... birth control, anyway. There's nothing natural about the set-up so might as well go full sci-fi. EDIT: Like if Dewclaw Meats or w/e was selling cloned meat then I could buy them as an ethical business. As it is, no, not even if people have to eat.

That laugh track is incessant, the jokes are poorly delivered, but like-- they are actual jokes I guess. "Tesla, Space-X, I love all your companies" was really awkward, but like there was an actual joke there where bowl haircut lays it on thick about his professional achievements and Elon delivers the gravy line set up from earlier.

Since apparently we are supposed to care about the market price of rabbit meat, a less stupid plot would be for Evil Company stop hunting rabbits, and start buying a lot of rabbit meat. That way the price goes up and all the other Evil Corporations start gunning for Our Heroes for monetary reasons. Like not only is holbrook writing a fetishy nightmare world but he is doing a halfassed job of it.
