It started as a comic about a little girl and her anthropomorphic piggy bank he drew on commission for a bank.

He's a cartoon character who is a pig (and has normal pigs as relatives), but acts like a human 99% of the time.

A classic example of "don't think about it too hard".

I only know this because RandomPaul posted it a month ago: "The comic originally appeared in Kultapossu, a promotional children's magazine by a Finnish bank. In the original version of the comic, Viivi was a small girl and Wagner was her animate piggy bank. When the Kultapossu magazine was discontinued, Tuomola adapted the characters to fit a newspaper comic strip style, also changing the characters to adults in the process." More here.

Okay, to be (at least a tiny bit) more even handed than I have been in the past, this is clearly meant to be taken as a "good for you, Tiff" moment, even though we don't yet know who she's calling. That said, how many Luann strips come with this exact same structure:

:j: I'm a tough strong independent woman who can do for myself and don't need no help from nobody!
*beat*
:j: Hey, can you help me with this?

where the joke is that :j: (who might be Tiff or Luann) is irresponsible/useless/selfish/an idiot for asking for help. We saw the same kind of thing when Tiff got all pumped up and excited that she was going to become a business major so she could make her own money and get away from Ann's financial abuse, but it was delivered as a joke that Tiff is so goddamn stupid for ever thinking she could succeed in business when she barely even knows what business is.

That doesn't seem to be what the Evanses are going for here. But it does somewhat undermine the intended sympathetic moment.

God I love how Footrot Flats is so honest about how awful dogs are. They do not care about sentiment, they care about getting fed. (I say this with perfect love as I stare at my own brat, Apollo)

Solving all of life's problems through enhanced casting of Occam's Razor. Reward yourself with an imaginary chalice.

And gleefully unsentimental about farm life. I know someone who lives in NZ who grew up on a farm, I wonder what they think about it.

Nah. At the store I work at we get complaints all the time about how we don't have enough tills open and the lines or too long!

This is true even when all the tills are open and we cannot possibly open tills that aren't there.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Nice, doc.


Had a doctor say the same thing to me in my late 20's. Turns out I needed a new doctor and a visit to the endocrinologist!
Said doctor also said "You didn't see any fat Holocaust survivors."

I had a doctor say a similar but different thing to me! I told him I suspected I might have something and he said, "Why do you care? That's usually diagnosed in little kids at school! You're almost [Age]!"

Gee, Doc, I don't know why I could possibly care if I've been putting up with something may be affecting my life and that's gone undiagnosed for decades.

She's the person in charge of the store and 100% representing grumbl by working there and wearing their uniform. Sure redesigning the store isn't easy but she's almost the clerk you'd except to see in Dustin when Ed goes shopping.

Were they implying that any fat people in the concentration camps died because they were unhealthy? Because :psyduck:
