It is Miracle Treat Day today, in an extremely odd coincidence. Not sure if there are any Dairy Queen's near you, but if there are you can support children's hospitals and get ice cream at the same time.

Traditional-style Moose Tracks. It was one of my favorites as a kid; saw a container at Target a month ago and got it only to realize it had a caramel base instead of vanilla, which was consistently kind of gross for the first couple of bites.

They had that in the cafeterias on campus when I went to college.

There's a reason why I was, let's say, not at my fighting weight when I left college.

This sounds more appealing to me than normal licorice, weirdly enough, but I don't like the flavor of star anise so it'll probably be a wash anyway.

Unless his teacher was in the Elephants Got Big Dirty Feet camp, that is.

Pretty much all of my favorite flavors have already been suggested, so I will state squid ink ice cream, as I can 100% imagine Jimmy getting real excited about it staining your tongue black.

Episode 24 is up!

Faantastic joins me after that harrowing drama of last episode. And man, he's the perfect guy for it.

This episode makes me want to take my niece to the beach. Except for the fact that she's terrible.

I have VERY strong feelings about the tonal shift with Lars occurring immediately. It kind of ruins the dramatic tension he created.

On the plus side, I'm very happy with the art direction and our new friend.

Also I guess the Simpsons references are nostalgic.

Last note: Japan really does eat whale meat still. They get in a lot of trouble internationally for it.

There's no real excuse for the tonal shift...


...but if you wanted to make up an excuse, the scene itself is meant to be discordant. It is designed to illustrate a complicated relationship. Lars and Jimmy's time brief beach scene is structured in such a way that you're supposed to feel some compassion/empathy for Lars, then immediately repulsed by him. "Aw, they went to a beach together and they're playing with a Throwing Disc(tm). He spends time with his sick little nephew....and is now taking the opportunity to use it to hit on ladies on the beach. Poorly." And, "Wow, he really is depressed and much more self aware than he lets on. He really just needs to get out of this rut and find love.....oh gently caress this weirdo loser."

Between Jimmy, Steven Universe, Lars and the Real Girl, Metallica, and one Mr. von Trier, it's like the name Lars is cursed to render its bearer an absolute hosed up sadsack trainwreck of a human being.

So does Norway; they just aren't as brazen about it.* Japan claims it's for research or cultural purposes, but that's basically nonsense. (In fact the mercury levels in whale meat are high enough that it shouldn't be given to children.) Instead their whaling program is mostly around due to bureaucratic inertia, budgetary chicanery, and a certain degree of nationalism. Modern Japanese whaling was first a thing in 1900, naturally based on the Norwegian style, and it soon collapsed the local stocks to the point that Japan was sending factory ships far afield in the 1930s. Apparently they did a lot of whaling after WW2 to make up for food shortages, since we bombed the crap out of a country that already had issues with food supplies, and it just stuck around as an institution even after the need had passed. Indeed several government organizations still depend on whaling money to keep up their funding, supposedly because the industry is in the red (which it is) but really to offer cushy jobs to old bureaucrats.

*Indigenous whaling also exists but is far more limited - usually hunters have very small quotas and are required to use traditional methods.

You complain about the asian girlfriend line as if the writer made a mistake, but I think he did exactly what he intended. That's Lars. Lazy, nice, depressed, and yes, racist. It's not like that's a viewpoint that's unique to Lars - there are absolutely people who believe that and would be willing to say it to a kid.

We get to see how Jimmy views people, and sometimes we see the bad sides. Sometimes we get to see those bad sides and it's not clear that Jimmy even knows they're bad, because he's a kid.
