You'll see this sort of thing when an author has no idea how to write women but doesn't want to appear sexist. So they make every female character a superficially intelligent foil who does little more than remark on and criticize the male characters' stupid ideas or embarrassing quirks.

The token woman in Brewster Rockit has always bugged the hell out of me to the point of dragging the rest of the comic down for this exact reason.

More long stretches with no daily comics in the NOLA newspaper. The whole world is blowing up at once. On top of the wars in Mexico and Europe (American entry just being a matter of when at this point), the February Revolution launched in Russia. The 200 year-old Romanov dynasty, and by extension the Russian Empire, ended in the space between those first two panels when Nicholas II abdicated the throne and his brother declined to succeed him. Nicholas was reunited with his family under "protective custody" at the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoye Selo. What could possibly go wrong?

Lots of sabre-rattling on the front page throughout the month, and not even comic strip superstars Mutt and Jeff were safe from being preempted in the Crescent City.

My source is crapping the bed again, so ducks are on hold.

Right. Because if I wanted live somewhere quiet and private, the first place that comes to mind is a college dorm with lots of students and thin walls.


The gently caress is this 'correct instruments' nonsense? Their teacher assigned them to those instruments for good reason. Dinkle, you're a substitute teacher, quit undermining the authority of the woman who replaced you as band director.

That doesn't sound like much of a prank. Why would you want your substitute to think you're incompetent? Also why would you want someone else touching your instrument, especially the ones that involve using your lips?

That's the joke, I think. I'm pretty sure it's going for "We got used to having no privacy for so long that having too much of it would be uncomfortable, staying in the dorm means we'll only have a little privacy so we can get used to it again."

I think it sucks that Zits seems to be going in hard on the "people get CANCELLED on social media for HARMLESS JOKES" angle but I also emphatically don't think the practice of social media ostracizement is such a force of good in the world that it's self-evidently beyond reproach and even the mildest of lampooning.

Honestly, I figured the only reason they've living in a college dorm is so DNA Wizard can find herself more unwitting test subjects to turn into half-plant half-gopher creatures or something. :v:

When I was in middle/high school orchestra, my friends and I did try each other's instruments, including woodwinds and brass. It varied based on the instrument and who owned the instrument, but it was a mix of curiosity about other instruments and clumsy orchestral flirting. That said, I would've never actually lent my instrument to someone when I couldn't monitor it — instruments are fragile as hell and routinely cost over a thousand dollars. e: this has a corollary where I would never even consider borrowing a friend's instrument if they weren't watching me like a hawk

I don't remember ever having a substitute, although I did end up at various county/state level competitions with people from my school. Swapping instruments to look incompetent would have been break-even for the worst people in my school's orchestra and embarrassing for the best. I don't think the idea ever crossed our collective minds.
