I don't think I'm a prude, but also I think there's way too much sex going on in 9 Chickweed Lane. Do these people do anything but bang or talk about banging?

Alterian posted:Edit: The things like consistent use of storyboards and pre-production now a days has really helped with that. You can tell which "classic" directors relied on those techniques because their films still stand out as being excellent. I mean if this is what you mean by fantastic from a technical standpoint then yeah, sure, movies are better than they were in Ed's days. But practically speaking what you're saying isn't any different than saying that movies are better now because they cost more money to make. Consistent use of storyboards and pre-production have not solved the problems of meandering plots and boring camerawork and I'm honestly not sure what mainstream movies you've seen in the last ten years that would give you the impression that they had.

^^^ We use salt to ward off bad luck, but that has its roots in using it to ward off demons, so sort of. Also, I don't get this one. She's saying a ghost is making sex noises?RoboRodent posted:I don't think I'm a prude, but also I think there's way too much sex going on in 9 Chickweed Lane. Do these people do anything but bang or talk about banging? And if their roommate comes in and is like, "Hello, I see you guys are here on my couch, banging," they just keep right on banging. "Oh, you were intentionally sabotaging our birth control and trying to get pregnant without asking how I felt about that? No red flags here! Let's bang!" They say that having a stroke can change your personality. It's not like Chickweed wasn't mostly a gross old man's fap journal before, but I feel like since the stroke Brooke's become an even nastier pervert. Maybe the stroke killed the part of the brain where his inhibitions live? Maybe since the stroke he decided that life is too short and is getting all his wanking done while he still can? Maybe Chickweed finally got cancelled from its last newspaper and he figures he may as well go whole hog now? I don't know. In other news, Daddy Daze is growing on me. I'm not going to donate to its patreon or anything, but I find myself mildly amused. Julet Esqu fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Mar 17, 2019 |

I like to read it as a the dad using his kid’s sound as an excuse for speaking his own thoughts out loud, which is definitely something we parents do when our kids are young. It’s a fun one. Alterian posted:Like I said with a few exceptions, a lot of movies that came out when Ed would be talking about were pretty garbagy from a technical standpoint. If you want to go the super hero route, compare the 60's batman movie to a modern super hero movie. Ed is what, somewhere between 55 and 65 years old? If so, he would have been around 15 - 25 when Superman was released. Now I’m no expert, but I believe that was considered to be a pretty okay superhero movie.

I know I'm late to the discussion of a Persona 3 strip, but I wanted to say I thought it would work pretty well alongside a lot of the strips posted in this thread, since so many of them already make me want to shoot myself in the head. Prince Valiant

Surgeon's Tales Let's have a short recap. I haven't read more than a few strips ahead, so I'm not certain if these are relevant: -Kustaa Perttilä alias Bertel is a great soldier in the Swedish army in 30 years' war. The king wanted to make him a nobleman, but his father, who hates the nobility, prevented it. -Miss Regina, a bishop's daughter and a devout Catholic, is manipulated by a jesuit Hieronymus to assassinate the Swedish king. She stops the attempt at the last minute and is sent to Finland. -The King dies in Lützen, Bertel is also presumed to be killed, but the body is not found. Before his death, the king wanted to give his legendary ring to Bertel.   Coat of arms is from the 20th century but it's great.    (the pictured stone church wasn't actually built until the 16th century) Nancy  Dustin  Jäätävä Spede

I assumed that Taku was correct, and it was sex noises. She's trying to play it off like it was a noisy ghost because she's embarrassed and he's a bit of a creep.

Sometimes they talk about talking about banging.

Some Guy TT posted:Besides that Ed has said in a previous comic that his favorite movie is The Godfather This makes complete sense, because having The Godfather as your favorite movie of all time is the absolute perfect boring boomer opinion. Which is not necessarily to say anything against The Godfather, but geez, come on, watch some more movies.

The number 17 has been considered unlucky since Roman times because of anagrams. 17 = XVII, rearrange that and you get VIXI which is Latin for "I have lived" (implying: I'm dead).

Archyduchess posted:drat, Arlo and Janis! Going above and beyond again! It does get some big things wrong, though only in ways that are fairly understandable for a US-based viewpoint. In particular it's very much not a case of "Northern Ireland wants special status, London says no"; the group blocking special status are Northern Ireland's largest political party, the Democratic Unionists, whose sole reason for existence is to prevent any closening of ties between the North and the South. Privately I think most politicians in London would be delighted if NI floated off into the Atlantic never to be seen again.

Yeah, I showed this strip to my wife shortly after posting and she similarly educated me on some of the stuff Jimmy Johnson and I weren't aware of. But I still admire his commitment to going there especially on a day that's so leeringly gaudy as U.S. St. Patrick's Day. And it led me to at least two conversations where I learned something new and clarified my understanding of the world, which like, has never been said ever about, say, Intelligent Life.

Kennel posted:Surgeon's Tales I have to say, I really appreciate your translations! It's fun reading your notes as well. I was on a whirlwind business trip across Finland back in January, so it's fun being able to think "I've been to Ostrobothnia!" and "I've been to Vassa (very briefly, to buy gas at 5 in the morning)!"
