Twelve by Pies posted:I'm 100% on board with the theory "Baseball is so boring that people started a nuclear war to liven things up." Bonus points for realism if the final straw was a 5-hour-long Yanks vs Sox game, in which nothing interesting happened whatsoever and it was all batters stepping out of the box and slowing poo poo down.

Twelve by Pies posted:I was going to say this is an easy enough joke to come up with that I could buy that he thought it up independently, but there's no way he got almost the exact wording of the headline by coincidence. There's no real reason for her to mention Duncan Hines by name otherwise. I don't think it really qualifies as a joke if it's indistinguishable from advertising copy. Even Mother Goose and Grimm pop culture jokes, lazy as they are, usually include some form of outside element that can be seen as making fun of the source material instead of just expressing unironic enthusiasm for it.

The Dinette Set wasn't really paying attention anyway. Working Daze is back to sub-Dilbert jokes, I guess.  Super-Fun-Pak Comix would have made more sense if it was posted before the last one.  Cul De Sac has been cursed!

Calvin's expression here always weirded me out. I...assume he's just pulling his upper lip back to really expose his incisors? But...those are hosed UP incisors.

LingcodKilla posted:Who's the couple thinking about adding ageplay to their bedroom in chickweed lane? A priest and a nun who used to teach at Edda and Amos's school. They left their respective professions behind so they could get married and gently caress. There was a bizarre prolonged arc where the ex-nun was giving birth to their first child and the other nun had some kind of metaphysical journey with God who made the ex-nun's baby be born with some unspecified deformity for Reasons. The Owl and the Pussycat was involved.

With his usual determination to not do any research on anything, he probably didn't realize that people exist who don't take COVID-19 seriously and are interpreting Crankshaft's obvious overreaction as being a vindication of their beliefs. It wouldn't surprise me to learn he's been getting complaints.

TomBat has worked a full year ahead since before Lisa's Story was a thing, so almost definitely the last one. In interviews, he was very proud of that, because he claimed it helped him with his plotting. Of course, that makes this even more inexcusable, because they had at least ten months of living in COVID World to rework this sequence or just drop it altogether and just didn't bother.

Wait, he did the whole shoving the pizza box monster right in the middle of his football player CTE story thing a year in advance and never once in that entire time did he stop to think that maybe it was a bad idea?

So if Mark was going to end up going back home to interview his dad anyway, what was even the point of that completely out-of-place speedboat chase scene? You could've completely cut that off and nothing would have changed.

Haulin Oates posted:Can anyone name the mother from The Tinkersons? Cuz I sure as hell can't. From GoComics: "Bill Bettwy's Take It From The Tinkersons is a timely comic strip about the hopes and dreams of a modern family, working together to keep their heads above today's choppy economic waters. Ted and Tiff Tinkerson are a happily married couple with two children: A charmingly naive son, Tillman, and a moody tween daughter, Tweetie. And you can't leave out Tubby, their overweight but lovable dog."

Hostile V posted:Their names are Fluffy and Nachotime; he's the high priest of Hecate and is later temporarily killed by Hellboy which only hastens her rebirth and the inevitable return of the Ogdru Jahad, she's a retired netrunner who got half of her brain replaced with cloned meat after her old neuralrig was bricked by a Mi-Go paracausal multi-state virus and had a seizure as a result. Back in 2002 there was a well-received plotline where the two of them had a heart-to-heart about her struggle with physical rehab and him worrying that he thought less of her for her disability and uphill fight with learning to walk again. They would later fade into the background for a period of time as a pair of janitors who walk around cleaning up other character's public sex messes before making a killing in the stock market and living comfortably. This is better than reality. Also pleated skirts are just cute in general. I remember my wife’s high school tennis skirt being .... short but on purpose due to the sport. And no she didn’t save it.
