But most of all, you cheated BABA


Excuse me, but it is! The kink community is 10000% about consent! Equating that with abuse is slander.

This specific accusation about Steve Kelley was debunked a few posts up, but I still want to take a moment to remind everyone that kinky bedroom play (which is clearly what Dustin's folks are both thinking of there) is not at all the same thing as domestic abuse, and equating the two is straight-up slander of the entire kink community.

I'm not saying that's what Hostile V is doing -- other topics are in play here, like the movie they're talking about (which I haven't seen and can't really comment on). But I want to state clearly that just because Helen apparently likes to get spanked now and then, that does not automatically mean Ed (or Steve) is an abuser.
Your point is valid and could have been made without quoting me because that was in fact not my intent. I apologize for calling Kelley a spousal abuser because I got him mixed up with Mike Lester.

Cathy looks like she's gonna knife a man, and I love the image of that. It's not a common 'Cathy' expression! Also, is it just me or is she shrinking? Is the Tall Cathy era coming to an end?

I kinda like Pondus and I don't really know why. I mean, I think my love of trash is well established by this point, but even by those standards Pondus seems out of place.

Yeah, that's my interpretation: slob family, rather than put away their garden tools properly, has just dumped them in the driveway or garage and they've gotten snagged on the car's front bumper.

There is a real place called the Great Swamp in RI that this is referencing. I have canoed and camped there many times. I don't think Wallace is actually there, though. It's too far from the ocean for them to have walked. Probably just a local place they call the great swamp because it's muddy and the name sounds epic and cool

It looks to me like the students are pretty attentive and curious about what they're learning, which is something you'd love to see in students. I get that everyone's talking at once and it can be overwhelming, but surely the teacher could tell her students to talk one at a time instead of looking like she's got a thousand-yard stare.

Teacher goons ITT, what do you make of this strip?

It could go either way for me. I read it as she had already explained the "do we hafta"s during the instructional setup time and a lot of the kids weren't listening, which can be relatably frustrating if you've explained something several times and yet kids still come back at you with something you answered already (or, my favorite, teh child insistently raising their hand while you're answering another child's question, and when you call on them, they ask you the same question)

But again it's Lynn, and I find this teacher character the only sympathetic character in the strip really, so I could be just extending it too much grace

This is all Allison, although he did commission Sarin to draw the cover for this part of Circus Windows. I would say his style has changed slightly over the years as well as the fact that he his drawing Lottie and Mildred as young women as opposed to children/teens as in Bad Machinery.

Personally, I can't read a comic with a reference to drink sizes in it without assuming it's an edit. I read it three times trying to figure out what the joke was before I read the second one.

I thought the joke was that the cafe had replaced a burger joint or something where Cooper was a regular and he didn't even notice until the barista talked to him. It's not much of an improvement but it at least it works without needing the context of thinking Marla has a unique face.
