This is basically true, though. Walden pond was like a mile from Thoreau's mom's house, and the reason he could hang out there was because she was paying all his financial obligations. Jeremy's got the right idea.

Jeremy's got the right idea. Yes. I never cared for Transcendentalist writing and found Walden to be especially lousy. The story of a middle-class guy who play-acts at self-reliance by living in a shed he built, by hand!...on his well-off friend's land, about half an hour's walk from the center of Concord, and he makes trips into town for supplies and socialization multiple times a week. I give Jeremy an A-.

The more Holbrook draws this out, the more  it gets.Mikl posted:Apparently, since they're both half-fox, they follow fox mating rituals, which involve being alone together for three weeks before the deed, and they'd never done it before they were forced by this situation. What bugs me is that Holbrook is writing Fiona as the one who's pushing for this to happen while Rudy stands there like a gormless idiot, when just a month ago, Holbrook wrote Rudy as the one who pressured his family to risk their lives and let Fiona stay with them because he was rannum posted:Was kind of getting the vibe last comic but really feel this is heading to like, Mikko just being adopted by Sulo's family. Nah, Anja and Heimo still love Mikko too much for that. Maybe this will convince Sulo and Anni to adopt a child from an orphanage instead.

 Bernice doesn't confide in her closest best friend, so I don't know why she should expect Luann to confide in her. Well, other than it's Bernice and she's a nosy judgy jerk.

Transmodiar posted:Modesty Blaise Back when I was a kid, my great grandmother clipped out Modesty Blaise from the newspapers every day and stored the comics in big photo albums, the kind with sticky pages and those weird transparent cover flaps on every page. I always assumed it was just a very milquetoast old people's comic but turns out great grandma was a god drat sex maniac.

Evil Mastermind posted:I always like seeing non-ex-retail peoples' reactions to this strip. It's one of my favorites ITT, a bit like Office Space in comic strip form. I loathe Black Friday with a passion and thank my lucky stars every day that I've never had to work retail (of Marla's sort) at that time of year.

Surgeon's Tales  The comic cuts a bit too much here, making it abrupt and hard to follow. Even the original source is somewhat vague, but the queen gives a more lengthy summary and Elias' investigations earlier helped to build a better picture. In short Maria has caught eye of several noblemen and they are kind of competing for her (they even have a codename 'Lapland' for her). Even the king makes his moves. She could make the king's indecency public, but declines to do so (for the good of the country), but staying silent causes other rumors (witchcraft apparently, it isn't very clear) about her to spread. Bertelsköld did his moves probably for blackmailing purposes. The whole scenario has potential for a good classic drama, but honestly it's all a bit too vague for too long and then explained too quickly, and many crucial moments happen off camera. At least the queen gets to embarrass these fools (more tomorrow). As a reminder Ulrika Eleonora used to be the ruler of Sweden, but had to abdicate the crown in favor of her husband for political reasons. Nancy  Dustin  Mandrake

There's no real reason for her to mention Duncan Hines by name otherwise.

One thing I've noticed about Garfield: modern Garf I read to myself in a toneless all-voice but classic Garf is automatically in the voice from Garfield and Friends.

Hel posted:I have to admit I find it hard to follow The Shadow and I don't really know why. It's perfect readable and has the same schedule as flying jenny which I can follow with no problem. I will admit, it is a bit. I think it's adapted from the novels or something, so they're probably hacking it up to fit the format. Ah well, we have literally two more days before it takes a break, maybe by the time it comes back it'll have figured a good flow. Also it looks like that gap covers what I'm pretty sure is a yellow peril storyline, so silver linings. I'd never heard of Duncan Hines until I listened to The Ballad of Alferd Packer and had to look up the last line. I'm blanking on the term for when you learn about something and suddenly see it everywhere, but boy am I feeling it reading that Duncan. The Shadow and Flyin' Jenny Aug. 29th, 1940   As for Axa, I gotta say, this is a very odd storyline. Weird ending too, but we'll get to that.   catlord fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Feb 11, 2021 |

Ah good, I might have thought that it was 90 degrees in that comic, and that guy was just a weirdo wearing a heavy coat and scarf in the heat. Thank god he drew that breath to clue me in that it might be cold in February. catlord posted:As for Axa, I gotta say, this is a very odd storyline. Weird ending too, but we'll get to that. I'm 100% on board with the theory "Baseball is so boring that people started a nuclear war to liven things up."

I've always found his hamfisted plugs kinda charming. Maybe they give him free funnel cake now.
