And is Jeffy possessed by Pazuzu? so many questions. Family Circus these days includes a fair number of reruns from decades past, touched up to include present-day things like face masks. I don't specifically recall this one from the collections I had as a kid, but it seems likely it dates back to when that style of register was still a thing.

Jucika gets poo poo done  Also loving that first vintage Zits strip-- my bedroom shared a wall with my parents' bathroom so I often had the pleasure of hearing my dad hack and snort and cough and spit his way through his morning routine

I got talked into giving up my grandfather's senior driver's license that I had held on to for a couple years after he passed to another relative who then lost it in like a month.

Of course but threatening vandalism means the new manager will just shrug, call the cops and drop the loans and foreclose on the garage because "a good bank can't be supporting violent gangs!"

Some Guy TT posted:In over his head strikes me as the more appropriate expression here. Out of his league implies that Shauna and her family are highly desirable, when he sees them more as eccentric and is only comforted when he realizes that the family doesn't understand Shauna's brutalism obsession either. For our American readers, that strip's actually all about the English class system. Jack's from a respectable professional family, whereas Shauna's mum's a cleaner, her step dad's a plumber and they live on a council estate (housing project). Jack's uncomfortably reflecting on the social differences throughout the strip. Shauna rises above it all, of course. And she's definitely too good for Jack

Aside from the references to OBH and Luann they're right. New Nancy is very joyless and I agree 100% with the earlier in-thread post that every character is the same and there's no reason to have four identical beige blocks. It's basically all the turn-offs of modern Peanuts repeated with a rare 1/10 of the strips being pretty funny in the artist's own sense of humor.Johnny Aztec posted:Rauno would shiv that banker gently caress in the kidney.  Alright, maybe Rauno can redeem himself.

I feel like they're using Wee Pals as a pejorative example. I'm not a big fan of new Nancy, but it doesn't remind me of Wee Pals at all.
