When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.

Ok, so first of all, this decodes to nothing. Which is disappointing, given how trivially easy it is to encode/decode binary.

Secondly, Millenials wouldn't use binary. This joke would maybe work if the blue dog was using emoji.

So my reaction to this comic is this:

I like to think that it's Gene Ween's origin story. Arlo and Janis eat handfuls of mushrooms and go see their kid's band when they're in town. The song "Gots Me a Weasel" was one that Janis used to sing to him as an infant. Arlo actually wrote "Waving My Dick in the Wind," but declined a songwriting credit.

Genuinely not quite sure if that's an incredibly progressive for the 30s look-how-far-we've-come or just the 30s version of that current Pros & Cons arc.

I'm pretty sure it's the latter: in Days of Yore, husbands and wives settled their differences with their fists (and plates, and rolling pins), before being ritually humiliated in front of the town, but Today they just run off and cry to a lawyer.

The only people who I know that type in emoji are brand twitters and old politicians trying to be relevant.

Everyone always quotes Jon drinking dog semen, but no-one ever mentions Garfield emitting infrared signals thru his rear end in a top hat.

This kind of underlines a thing that bothers me about these "kid wakes up parents with zany question at night" strips. For a small child, that's a perfectly valid question. Mom and dad's response isn't "ask me in the morning," it's "I don't know, go ask someone else." The joke is "why are you bothering me," not "lol what a silly, zany question."

I was thinking the classic sign of menopause is hot flashes, which makes me believe Iris may indeed still be pregnant. I want to believe Iris is pregnant. I need this, Moy and Brigman.

It's the 80's, it's entirely possible that's a physical "clicker" remote that used sound to change the channel. We had one when I was growing up. Sometimes, if you clapped just right, you could change the channel that way too. It was a fun trick, but it also meant that loud ambient noises could activate it as well.

Right? Clearly the answer is to have 2-inch margins.

No, no. If you're farting around with fonts for your essay, you go with Times Newer Roman. Does not work for electronic submissions, but I have, in fact, used it in a pinch and got away with it.

Here's my English Major Top Tip: Word/Page counts are Straight. Boolshit. As long as you can make a compelling argument and articulate your points, you'll get docked like half a grade at the worst. "Oh no, I only got an A- because I came in a page short, a bloo bloo bloo, my future is ruined."

I had a student this semester who wrote excellent stuff and was a pleasure to have in class but she wrote all her papers in Comic Sans purely to flex. I allowed it because frankly as a power move it scared me into submission.

They were really blatant with the whole "Doctor didn't actually do any tests" thing. It's probably pregnancy but it 100% is not menopause.

Comic Sans is one of the few fonts that's easier for people with dyslexia to read.
