These are supposed to be feral hogs that he somehow controls, if you'll recall.

The comic has already made it clear that animals talk to Mark. There might as well be a feral hog whisperer.

Every time I see an Overboard I want to post about it but don't know what to say. Imagine what someone would think if it was their first time seeing it, every day? It's low on the list of strips I dislike, but something about it just makes me mildly irritated every time I see it. It's inexplicable.

I feel the exact same way!

While I risk starting another "which way do sharps go into the silverware basket in the dishwasher" debate, I feel compelled to point out that I read somewhere that you should wash your socks inside out so as to better remove your foot funk. I don't actually follow this advice (I can't be bothered to pay any attention at all to what way my socks are when I throw them in the machine), but it's a thing I read. Take it with however much salt you deem appropriate. At the very least, feel more free from guilt if you also don't bother with pre-wash sock configuration.




"Hard love" :heysexy:

(The actual concept she's trying to convey is asinine, but it's coming out of Tiff, so it's possible it's supposed to be. Hard to tell with Team Evans.)

ETA: The Featured Comment on this for today is a poster taking the rest of the Luann Commentariat to task for being such a bunch of assholes about this whole Bets thing. She's also in the replies to her comments tearing up any dudes who dare to come at her with a "but actually." She's great. I'm not going to post the thread here, but now you know where to find it if you give a care.

Also, just match and fold the socks inside out and let your kid figure it out. Or better yet, dump them unmatched on their bed and declare it their job from now on.

I didn't read the strip closely and just went by the art and thought the dad was complaining about the socks being balled up.

Oh, so that's why people do that. I always thought it was kind of odd but it would never occur to me to get mad about it because it's just dirty laundry. Who cares?

It doesn't look to me like they're saving face, it looks like they're just trying to avoid making their guests feel bad about it. This just seems like such an odd thing to cast as snide assholish behavior now that we're on month eighteen of people openly doing the excessive disinfectant song and dance at the slightest provocation and getting mad at anyone who tells them to chill out.

Evil Mastermind posted:

The text seems to imply they didn't know that the kid was sick, and are only assuming he's sick now because they know from past experience his falling asleep on the couch tends to be an accurate predictor of his getting sick.

Pretty sure I remember reading the solution to this one as a kid: it relies on the assumption that page one will always be on the front side of a page, so that 157 and 158 will be the opposite sides of the same page, so it's impossible to put something between them.
