Selachian posted:Retail As someone who works retail, anyone who says this is obnoxious. It is vaguely amusing once, maybe, but then every time after that it is annoying, and there are some people who would genuinely believe it so you have to tell people no every single time. Same with many of the 'jokes' that people, especially old people tell. Yes, we don't stock attractive blondes. Yes, 1957 or whatever was a good year, I get it. There is only so many times you can hear some of these lines and not blow a fuse.

Luann is mentally about twelve. Her parents show the level of obsessive care any parent would for their developmentally disadvantaged child.

I sort of wonder if this is based off of Lynn's own childhood memories, since we know her mother was abusive. Like Lynn's metric for what's normal and funny for kids got so completely messed up by her own childhood.

Zereth posted:He was a recurring character until the end. I've been paying less attention than you, is this his first appearance? I don't know why in the world I know this, but he's been there since the beginning or close to it; the backstory was that he is Lou Ann's father-in-law, her husband having been KIA in Vietnam. At some point in the comic's run, they updated that to Iraq or Afghanistan, IIRC, since the characters had not aged.

Stuff like that is also why I mainly stick to translating cat noises.

To be completely honest, this is just a happy accident. I didn't even think about that, I was entirely focused on trying to force the English pun. Pink Rabbit
