 amigolupus posted:Aaaaand here's the start of one of the things I don't like about this case. Saying Shauna's biological dad is her "real dad" just bothers me a lot. It just feels so dismissive of the fact that Dan is Shauna's real dad for the past several years. He wants to adopt her and he's got a tattoo of Shauna on his arm, for crying out loud.

Green Intern posted:Leonardo’s mom(?) is actually the daughter of Sam and Sunglasses Guy, who was just born on Mars. She has been a known time traveler for a while. I assume she just showed up one day. BigDave posted:Can we just take a step back and appreciate how much we have going on with the plot? Alterian posted:....but what about the mermaids being from mars! That's been completely forgotten. I hate everything about these sentences. But wait, if that's actually Leonardo da Vinci then wouldn't that mean time traveler mom dumps her kid back in the past when he grows up?  Then again, being terrible parents seem par for the course with this hosed up family.RandomPauI posted:Thank god, I thought I was the only one bothered by the Rip Haywire "Lady" thing but didn't want to make a thing of it by bringing it up.

Hostile V posted:Huh. Okay that explains a lot. Also I ended up digging into the history of Working Daze and it turns out it's had three different artists throughout its run, all of them actually capable of art, even this last one who had a better art style before just giving up and sinking into a lazy sketchy abstract style that continues to this day. But the writer has always been the same since the 90s and that makes me hate this strip even more. The LICD of workplace nonsense comic strips. You missed back in the old days where the artist wrote this long-rear end unnecessarily Wikipedia page like WD was some super-well-know and deep strip.

amigolupus posted:Thanks! Yeah he's just speaking in character. Like when a case or two ago Lottie was an incredibly dismissive twerp to a store owner concerned about his business failing for lack of tourist patronage with some crack about "we have purchased one drink between us and perhaps if you are good we shall enjoy a single chip" or something. Just a tactless teenager.

Powered Descent posted:That's actually cut way down from how "Scottartist" ( quote:The most familiar aspect of Roberts' Rita is the ever present water bottle in her fist. This appeared in the first week of new strip, and then on and off for while, until it became almost inseparable. When asked why it was there, Roberts explained that it was inspired by a piece in TIME Magazine about bottled water. The article indicated that women were more prone than men to carry it, and often as a fashion accessory. Roberts chose to make it more like a talisman for Rita, or a kind of security blanket. She is only complete when she has it.

Hostile V posted:Okay who the gently caress is this blonde lady that's just walking by in the background of all of these Working Daze strips and what the gently caress is the point of her doing so. When you're trying to jam your fetish into your comic strip you need someone else to draw walking past in case all the main characters are sitting down.

Kennel posted:Dustin Goddammit everyone knows what Trivial Pursuit is. Popular in the '80s? Well, yes, but also every decade since. If you're going to do a lazy "young people don't know about <thing>" joke at least pick something that's actually outdated or obsolete. Most young people probably still know what it is unless you're talking about actual children, but at least it's plausible that some young adults might not.

My guess is their gameboard is from the 80s and has all the appropriately dated references. Who could ever forget Jimmy Carter's vice president?

Based on the art that's Genus I edition and that's no joke to begin with but also impossibly dated for planing with your kids.

I got a trivial pursuit version for kids back in the early 90's. It was still fun to play all the way through college with the dated early 90's pop culture questions.
