How much would you need to be paid to actually look at 9CL every time Brooke sends in a new batch of strips?

Perhaps you have not been to the *Playground*.
The *Playground* is for Taalo and for Orz, but *Campers* can go.
It more fun than several.
You can go there for too much fun.

Hell, I'd probably pay Brooke to stop sending me strips.

Because newspapers and newspaper comics are marketed at boomers and the only kind of child abuse boomers care about is the kind that isn't real but they can get away with blowing up pizza joints over.

I've got to confess. I know we're not supposed to touch the poop, but after the training bra week I sent an email to GoComics asking that exact question.

Never got a response.

Maybe it's just because I live in an area that is subject to rolling blackouts (and the occasional storm knocking down power lines), but I have flashlights around? And a couple of portable lanterns? Then again, they allegedly live in California, so they should be prepared for blackouts, too.

Somebody posted a picture of the panty-dropping strip running in their local newspaper in the last thread, so unless things have changed since, at least one.

A ton of people don't have emergency stuff on hand even if they ought to. (myself included - the closest thing I have to a flashlight is my phone and maybe some lovely tiny flashlight keychain I got from work. but I can bumble around my apartment just fine in the dark & I can't think of a power outage I've experienced that lasted more than ~10 minutes, so fixing that hasn't really been a priority)

Although the people who don't have a flashlight on hand are not going to be the people who have an emergency radio/light on hand, so :shrug: on that front.

Last time there was a power outage here it lasted a couple of hours. So I turned on my phone's wifi hotspot and read the forums on my laptop in the dark.

It's repeating topics already, too. We've been over the reshelving bit.

Only thing I can think of to say is that books do, of course, have call numbers that tell you where the books go. And that even without engaging with the call numbers, most patrons would know to put a book back roughly where they took it from. Can I picture a patron just looking for "the cooking section", taking a book, and later reshelving it into travel because of brainfarts? I absolutely can.

Again, Dustin is being much more polite and constructive than he or service staff are usually portrayed. I'm starting to wonder if something's up, too.

Arlo and Janis Classic (May 16, 1999)



Coming across this one in the archives felt weird, because school shootings just aren't the world-stopping news they used to be. In any case, this A&J is, I think, made excellent by its last panel.

I try not to comment on the comics I post, generally, but one of the reasons I like doing the "today and across three decades" posts is the cultural contrast they provide. The Tina's Groove above, joking about people microblogging their lives on Facebook, seems almost naive eleven years later now that pretty much everyone you know has had their brains hopelessly scrambled by the intermittent reward loops of eighteen different social media platforms.

And yeah, if you have (American) school-aged kids, they might get shot to death in class one day.

Have the feeling that Parker ends up writing a few strips whenever Skelley is particularly worked up over politics. Next week will begin with him being fired offscreen as the temp agency woman states that he fell asleep and drooled on some books or something.
