THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...


It's amazing how in the wrong wilbur is

He's even more wrong than I was when the first strip landed and the singing cat was there and I thought it was going to be saccharine

Wilbur is fundamentally a self-centered piece of poo poo who keeps avoiding consequences because his social group shields him from them. A sadly realistic relationship dynamic on the comics page.

What got Wilbur all bothered with the cat anyway? All I can recall is that the cat was being friendly at an inconvenient time, take a second to pet the drat cat and it'll leave you alone jeez

E: I think they were sort of a light brown colour?

Kind of. A sapling grew through his floorboards and he didn't have the heart to cut it down so now his living room has a big tree in it.

I first read the guy in the second panel as saying "Too Much Uranium Activity Here", which put a different spin on the first panel.

IIRC Marla does try to fire Courtney, but Stuart says they should keep her on since she doesn't get paid that much. Later when Marla becomes store manager, she does fire Courtney who then ends up working at the coffee kiosk with Marla's blonde doppelganger.

Real talk, the funny online animal is right. If you're doing :filez: these days, you ought to be doing it through a good VPN service. (And honestly, if you'll forgive me a moment of tinfoil-hattery, I'd say it's a good idea to run most of your browsing through a VPN whether you pirate or not.)

The funny online animal is also correct that most of the poo poo out there isn't worth watching anyway.

If it helps at all, I know I made a few posts back in the day that make me cringe now, for exactly the same reason. Neither of us intended to offend -- it was just the vernacular back then and we used it without thinking -- but in the intervening time we've become more aware of such things, and we've each made an effort to improve ourselves.
