The cashier is wearing a mask. So there IS DEFINITELY CONFIRMED COVID-19 in Luann. Yet none of these fuckers wear masks or distance or anything.

I've said it before, but I really feel like it's all or nothing as far as acknowledging the pandemic in your strip. Be like, yep, it's here, and our characters will be going through it too, or be like, nope, in this imaginary world there is no pandemic. Putting in hints that there is a pandemic, but having the characters lives and behaviors be otherwise unchanged like a bunch of anti-mask fuckfaces pisses me right off.

Oh, and I checked. This is the last time we see Bets and Tiff talk about planning the event before the actual dinner:



So Tiff never said she was doing the pirate thing. She explicitly said she wasn't doing it and then Bets said yes she was and... then I guess Bets just left? Without another word?

Of course, in real life that third panel would not be the end of the conversation, especially with $300 (minus expenses) riding on this. This is Luann, though, so I guess it's more important that Bets and Tiff be harpies.

Good old Bill Holbrook...yes, sir! Throwing a completely legitimate ethical question out there only to heavy-handedly make it clear that only one side is right, not due to the merits of their argument, but because the people on the other side are morally deficient in some unrelated way. Good old Bill Holbrook...how I hate him!

Didn't Lindisfarne stop her research because she was afraid that employers would use it to discriminate against domesticated employees and that any "cure" for domestication would result in completely changing someone's personality (which is a whole ethical quandary in itself)?

Not saying it isn't heavy-handed or poorly written, but Lindisfarne does have some legit points for keeping the research secret.

Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?
I'm glad y'all like Jucika, it fills me with joy to contribute to the thread. It really is a top notch cartoon that has the one-two punch of cheesecake and humor. I think there's maybe 2-5 strips overall that don't immediately get a chuckle out of me. It's also impressive that for a strip running from 1957-1970 how many times the punchline can be transferred to a modern strip and portray Jucika as a kickass lady.


What have I done to deserve to be publically shamed like this?


Really happy to see classic Zits posted. The modern Zits is pretty decent of course but I'm always impressed and amused by how hard beginning cartoonists seem to strive to establish good quality and that starting audience. These caricatures and the tie-in to the joke is :kiss:

Lindsfarne probably only cares about the personality change because of personal convenience. Rudy is a little poo poo and her and Fiona actively take advantage of his domestication to exert control over him.

Got today's comics using Powered Descent's scripts! First time I've ever used Ubuntu and Powered Descent's instructions really helped!

The bad news is that that PD's scripts only give you the current day's comics, and the imgur uploader extension I was using got shut off for malware, so until there's a new way for me to do that, if I miss a day, I guess we just don't get comics for that day?

hmm there's three things i got for this, a) there's another imgur uploader extension on the chrome store, i got hit by this too, and firefox's is still fine; b) the script shouldn't necessitate you using your own imgur uploader? it should upload on its own and give you a feed with it all like this nvm i misread this bit entirely, here's the link to the imgur uploader im using

c) you can edit the script's
code:
DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d`
to read whatever date you want, to get comics from that day, like
code:
DATE='6969-04-20'

That's very easy to do, by temporarily editing the script. Near the top of each script it sets the DATE variable (and the DATESLASH variable for the gocomics script.) Comment those lines out (that is, put a # character at the front of the line, so that it'll be ignored when the script is run) and put in new lines that look like this, setting the variables directly:
code:
DATE='2021-04-20'
DATESLASH='2021/04/20'
(The DATESLASH is only needed on the gocomics one.) Run the script again and it'll get your comics for that date instead of for today. Just don't forget to put it back to normal when you're done!

e: Beaten to it. I'll make coders out of all of you yet! :)

I skip comics all the time because I read the thread in a haphazard way to simulate the newspaper experience. And I get the impression I'm not the only one, given that it often takes people a bit to notice if a comic wasn't posted.
