Hey comic strip friends, I passed my dissertation defense on Friday and submitted my final manuscript to the university this morning, so if I do not have a totally clear plate yet (I'm moving in May, and will be grading finals in two weeks) I have at least eaten all the veggies off of it and can sneak on a little posting dessert.

I'm not completely sure how I feel about Deathless Deer, except that I very much want to continue reading it.


How Wonderful! posted:

BSE's are not generally suggested now as firmly as they were in the 80s and 90s, since it can result in a lot of false positives. Nowadays health organizations suggest a more generalized sense of breast awareness and what is and isn't a red flag. It's a complicated issue, I'm not that kind of doctor (but I am a doctor).

I am glad to hear about the shift in thinking regarding BSEs because that DtWoF was starting to make me feel a little guilty that I haven't done one since... uh... hmm. Yeah, I'm sure it's fine.

Congratulations on the doctoring!

Tauhid is trying something. It's nice to see a newspaper cartoonist try something every once in a while.

Apparently when this story is done, he's going to make the whole sequence available to purchase as a poster, if people are interested.

So this was written like a year ago, and considering how this and Crankshaft was just like "remember all that crazy stuff? What a crazy time! Glad it's over!" means I'm going to become increasingly more frustrated with something I already dislike as we go through this huh. 'cuz this means it would've roughly been around last April or May or whatever when it was starting to sink in to a lot of people that this wasn't just going to end while a lot of folks were like "it'll be over any day now, it's nothing at all!" and...boy do I not expect Tombat to handle any of this alright considering that Funky is talking to the Donut Lady and neither of them have masks.

Also gently caress off Gunther.

This is a solution that probably worked better in 1979, when tennis balls usually came in opaque metal cans or cardboard tubes, not clear plastic ones like today.

I've got mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it's good that Anja finally realizes she's been a terrible mother and wants Mikko to have a stable, loving family. On the other hand, her answer to this being to pretty much give her kid away, instead of taking responsibility by doing better as a mother, is completely missing the point. If the story wanted us to be frustrated with her, then it's done a good job at it.

It's weird, but I can't really hate Anja too much. She reminds me of Anthony from FOOB's wife: a career-oriented woman who didn't want kids, except the lovely husband pressured them into having one to try and save their relationship. Anja started off being a flawed parent who couldn't find enough time to be with her family and the story built up on that until we got to this point, and that's fine. What bothers me is that the story has only been showing her as the one making all the terrible parenting decisions, when Heimo hasn't appeared at all and seems fine with how Anja left Mikko for a month. It kind of comes across as the author pinning the blame on Anja here.

Opening with a strong dadjoke in the first strip, I like it.

So Tove is back to write this part? That's great! The other author was okay, but the comparison to their writing being like later Simpsons was spot-on.

I can't decide who's a bigger deus ex machina whenever the family encounters a problem: Lindesfarne just being able to hack or find information the family needs, or the serial killer baby eating whatever's threatening them.
