Learner's permits are still printed on a paperish material, aren't they?

I'm sure it depends on the state, but I got my permit in 1997 and it was plastic. In the following four states I've lived in since then, they've all been plastic other than the temporary ones they've printed for me at the DMV while they mailed the permanent ones.

I continue to be astonished at how completely useless Axa is. Also, that�s a great way to ruin a sword.

Drakyn posted:

When you put it this way this entire comic comes off as some kind of Sisyphus thing. Axa escapes her life of safety to seek adventure and hot dudes and yet all her adventures leave her naught but a sexy lamp and no matter how vigorously and frequently she tears off her clothing all her hot dudes turn on her.

Here's a funny thing. A kind goon has been posting issues of Sonic the Comic in the CCCC Webcomics thread, and they have these comic adaptations of Sega games on the Genesis. One of it is based on Golden Axe and there's a character who looks like Axa, but acts as :black101:

as Conan.

Seeing these makes Axa even more of a massive disappointment.

Apparently the 50s were very much the golden age of the Westerns, and they had a massive media presence, just like how Superheroes are now.
It does make me wonder how much of the western-mania made it's way over to europe, or if it was just a very specifically american thing for the most part.

This is completely out-of-character. Why isn't Snorkmaiden being horny for her captors and dumping Moomin for them? I call shenanigans! :v:

It's a dumb marketing term that cricket farmers are trying to make popular so people feel less gross about eating crickets. I suspect they stole it from pillbug farmers who were using it because pillbugs actually are crustaceans.

Tyris Flare kicks rear end, I'm really bad at Golden Axe but it kicks rear end, and I should check that out, it looks like a lot of fun.

The thing is, Axa can and does actively kick some rear end now and then, I just wish it was more frequent. Also, double feature 'cause I figured you'd want to see Dirk get chumped.

A lot has been said (in this thread, even) about the whole thing and it's other stuff too, like people thinking somebody with the power of a god would never want to just have an office job at a newspaper. Clark also acts a bit different in some incarnations and comes off as meek and kind of a pushover, which is completely different from how Superman acts. On top of that we also have seen that yes, just the addition of glasses and wearing completely different kinds of clothes can make a person look very different.

Plus, of course Clark Kent can't be Superman. If he took off his glasses, how could he see?

I keep seeing this take but it's not really comparable, Tony Hawk hasn't been big for over a decade and even then was famous as a name and a digital representation of very low fidelity rather than known for his face. Superman / Clark Kent is odd because of how people who are close to both aspects of his personality don't make the connection. But as masks during the current pandemic has shown, posture and such is way more important to recognising people than just the face, especially at distance.

It's true that I'm pretty face blind and also I've had relatively few problems recognising people with masks on, because I rely almost entirely on posture, body language, and voice.

What I'm saying is that I would 100% be fooled by Clark Kent.

I've said this before, but for all the "love" Batiuk has for classic comics, he doesn't seem to really understand them. It's a very surface-level appreciation, where he doesn't like the style or writing or anything, he just likes them because they're old.

The Dinette Set is very sure of what to do with all the extra ketchup packets.

Working Daze synergizes its paradigm.

Also gotta remember that in the the typical Superman continuity he's known as a public alien who lives in a secret fortress and clearly works as a full time hero, while by contrast Clark Kent is that guy that's been on TV side by side with Superman a few times. So they look pretty similar, that doesn't mean you have to believe those cranks talking about fakery with shapeshifters and robot doubles and stuff.
