Yeah, I was referring to the Fiona storyline. I'm absolutely not qualified to discuss the internal workings of ethnic minority groups.

Something that makes the Fiona storyline worse is how it handled George. His problem wasn't with his ear, it was with how people in K&K's town were racists who assume he's a different species because they only see his ears. Having the guy who's been a target of systematic racism be eager to get rid of his cultural heritage just to fit in is a bad look.

Two things I love about this:

1. Val learned gently caress all from Gawain about romance during their travels
2. Sacking Rome as a wedding reception is metal as gently caress

I like to imagine Val was seriously regretting that he didn't pay attention to Gawain's antics while trying to come up with a way to propose that Aleta would approve of.

Orion and Scorpius are on opposite sides of the celestial sphere and so they're never both in the sky at the same time. In fact, the scorpion is supposed to be the one that killed Orion in the original myth, so Orion always stays as far away from it as he can.

That strip really just seems to be "Things were like this, but now they're like this! Can you imagine!" Sometimes the distaste for the new ways is clear, but other times it's equally clearly an observation that the past was a pain in the rear end.

Grandpa Kudlick is right, the burgers only get overdone from insulating and smoking them if your meat is crap and you've padded it with sawdust because you live in 1930s America.

My preferred burger mix involves throwing in a handful of breadcrumbs per pound of ground beef and an egg to bind it all together with a bit of worcestershire sauce. You end up with nice juicy burgers that cook well and have an almost slightly meatloafy flavour, but not oppressively so. If you don't have worcestershire sauce handy, mix in one part brown sugar to two parts ketchup.

Post apocalypse stories in the seventies and eighties tended to play to particular tropes, but I think a crosscountry Formula One race may be unique. Even touring cars might have made more sense.

It's this weird "Dennis the Menace" syndrome when you have a cartoon about a "mischievous" kid, but you're too old/lack the balls to have them actually do any mischief anymore, so you just write the responses to it without the setup. So you end up with this world where the main character is just minding their business and everyone acts like they loving hate them.

One of my grandfathers worked as a painter in, oh, I guess the late thirties and early forties, and he referred to modern latex paint as "roll it out and nail the corners down." He loved modern paint for how easy it was, and how any idiot could apply it without too much difficulty.

Depends, of course, on whether the copyright was renewed. Unfortunately, the US Copyright Office's online research tool only covers post-1978 works ... to check before that, you either have to go to their DC office to search physical records or pay to have a search done ($200 per hour, two hour minimum).

Yeah, it's kind of weird to think anyone would bother keeping Deathless Deer under copyright -- but never underestimate the willingness of media companies to sit on properties in the hopes that someone, someday, will want to pay for them.

So, in Get Fuzzy We see Bucky and Satchel are sentient. We see other sentient cats and dogs. The ferret never speaks, but is clearly intelligent.


Thus, are ALL (or maybe just mammals?) animals sentient in that world? Or maybe it's a dystopian sci-fi future where some people modified the popular pet creatures to be more intelligent, as a rich person toy, but as things do, expands into the lower markets,

From my experience, old lead paint gave much better coverage and durability than modern paints, especially latex.
