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

Any given A&J strip could be preceded and/or followed by the 'and then they all hosed' bird and it'd be accurate.

Yeah, however unlike so many other comics that involve sex it is actually quite sweet and charming.

Does anyone even say 'reno' (which I assume is pronounced 'wren-oh' instead of 'ree-no') for talking about renovations? 'Redo' is the only term I can think of I've heard.
Reno (the first pronunciation) has almost entirely replaced the word renovation in the NZ dialect.

A virgate is an ancient measure of land area, equivalent to the land two oxen could plough in one season. It's roughly equal to thirty acres, or twelve hectares. It's quite a bit of land for a family to have in the middle ages.

Another two-parter, and I skipped ahead to find the second part for this one, since it doesn't really work by itself. The reference to Lance Bass going into space and James Traficant puts it around 2002, which seems about right for the subject matter.

The way that Native American child is drawn seems like it's a racist caricature. I guess Detorie felt enough time has passed for him not to get caught and decided to sneak in another one of his hateful poo poo.


I know that the joke is how Michael acts in home and at school are so different. But between this and how Liz never talks to her mom about her problems, it just ends up being an unwitting commentary on how the kids do better without the mom constantly shouting at them about how much trouble they are.

Okay, so he's an Ambassador. What about the embassy staff? Are they going to be mer-made, too? Assuming this isn't a self-appointed ambassadorship, that is.

I guess the intention with the quick-change body-mods is that the genetics lab is merely cover for the DNA magic capabilities, rather than keeping it entirely secret, and any difficulty other genetics labs or regulatory bodies may have replicating the potions either was dealt with years ago, or is simply ignored.

Yeah, speaking of how comics sometimes portray bad behavior like it plays out in real life (a toxic friend in this case, rather than child abuse). Future therapist Bernice might be interested to know that she is a missing stair. (I do not for an instant think that the Evanses were going for this on purpose, but she is anyway.)




Thankfully, they're all going to get murdered in a minute and Bernice's reign of terror will end.
If it turns out this is Tara's cousin or sister or whoever she's hiding from, therefore making Bernice right, I am going to lose my poo poo.

Yeah, I had the same thought too. We know Ed's wife tends to take care of her appearance so her hair texture would probably be pretty silky. No way will that plastic loop manage to stay on.

Imagine being excited that you got appointed as embassy staff for human/merfolk relations and then being told that you're required to drink something that will permanently alter your DNA.

The genetics lab is supposed to be scientific, despite how Holbrook treats DNA as if it were magic. Pretty much the only reason other labs haven't replicated it is because DNA Wizard hasn't released her findings before she went on that trip to Mars, thinking that people can't be trusted with using her research 'for good'.

Hey, there's a lot worse poo poo an adolescent boy can get up to alone in his room with a computer and I'm not even talking about jerking it. Count your blessings.

Something I've been thinking this whole storyline is that I think RMMD could really benefit by pulling a Mark Trail on Sundays and just teaching us poo poo about medicine. We had this whole letdown of a storyline about diabetes, but Sundays could have been dedicated to Rex explaining to us topics like what diabetes is, the difference between type 1 and type 2, how it's managed, what a diabetic diet might look like, signs that you or the diabetic in your life might need to seek medical attention, promising new treatments.... all kinds of stuff. Sundays could be educational and useful and the week days could be all the boring drama we've come to know and expect. I wouldn't want it delivered in the form of a painfully bad teen comedy routine, but the kid standing around talking all strip brought it back to mind.
