Uramachi Sakaba  Chako    This one dates from the end of December, and here's Q-Rais' author comment on it: The cats represent 'past,' 'present,' and 'future'; this comic is my way of expressing that thing we call 'the new year.' ...No, that's a big lie. I wasn't really thinking about anything like that when I drew it, but when I looked at it again I realized it was possible to see it that way.

^^^ Chako doesn't make any more goddamn sense with Q-Rais commentary, but I appreciate it all the same.  Nonsense. I have never seen Luann attempt to educate any living being. Julet Esqu fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Oct 26, 2021 |

Classic Kevin & Kell in: living in sin (April 12-18, 2004)       What was going on in 2004 with regards to marriage? 🤔 quote:In February and March 2004, city officials in San Francisco issued marriage licenses to about 4000 same-sex couples before being ordered to stop by the California Supreme Court.[25] On February 20, 2004, the clerk in Sandoval County, New Mexico, issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples for a day until the state attorney general issued an opinion that they were "invalid under state law".[26] Similar actions occurred in New Paltz, New York (February 27); Multnomah County, Oregon (March 3); and Asbury Park, New Jersey (March 8).[27] At the same time, there was the Federal Marriage Amdendment thing: quote:In his State of the Union address on January 20, 2004, President Bush alluded to the recent court decision in Massachusetts ordering the state to recognize same-sex marriages beginning in May: "Activist judges ... have begun redefining marriage by court order, without regard for the will of the people and their elected representatives.... If judges insist on forcing their arbitrary will upon the people, the only alternative left to the people would be the constitutional process."[35] On February 24, after the same Massachusetts court reiterated that it was insisting on marriage and that civil unions were insufficient, Bush expressed support for this amendment for the first time.[36] So yeah, it was quite the hot topic at the time. Sheldon Dome showed up in late 2000: when Coney was refused classification as "multicultural" when signing up for youth hunting league, Sheldon (the county recreation administrator) refused to budge, and as a result Kevin challenged him for the post in the upcoming election, which was neck-to-neck, but in the end Sheldon won. (Though it was revealed he'd fathered a child with his campaign manager, a weasel, thus his involvement in this storyline.) (October 24-November 8, 2000.) Sheldon showed up again when it was thought Rudy was younger than he actually is (and thus couldn't be part of his hunting team) as a luddite who refused to use computers to look up information (Rudy's birth certificate); Rudy tricked him into thinking a tablet PC was actually a scroll in a fancy casing, and the situation was resolved. (October 24-27, 2001.) Modern Kevin & Kell

It was a My Little Pony, lost at a rest stop between Calgary and Vancouver. It was one of the ones with fuzzy flocking on it. I was so distraught that my parents took me to get a new pony, and I loved that one, but it was never the same.

But this storyline in specific was pretty obviously in response to the slew of legislation that was being rammed through at the state level at the time and laser targeted at what was happening in Holbrook's home state.

I had a friend whose daughter was CRAZY in love with this big red button from a coat. She took this thing EVERYWHERE and was constantly losing it in sandboxes and such. Her mom just had a purse full of the things and was great at "finding" her lost button on the playground or back in the car after she dropped it in a public bathroom or whatever. To this day we have backups of the 2-3 things my daughters got really overwhelmingly in love with. We've never had to break any of them out, but one day we'll blow their mind with 2nd copies of froggy and giraffey-mcdoodles. Maybe they'll like 2nd copies for their kids.

I had two baby blankets I took everywhere, one pink and one blue. I have a memory of a daycare worker taking the blue blanket from me and stuffing it in the trash, I remember looking at it in the trashcan and feeling helpless. I was insanely attached to the pink blanket after that, still have the falling-apart rag it turned into from being so well-loved.

Haifisch posted:Is this a 'you can't have that, it's a BOY color!' thing? It feels like that kind of thing. Possible, this would have happened in the mid-90's if the memory is correct/true. My mom was super patient with my attachment to them, never berated me but would gently encourage me to leave them in the car when we went out so I couldn't lose them. She'd also go out of her way to wash them on a gentle cycle in a delicates bag so they could be cleaned without being destroyed. That was a drat good drat sad chapter of 100 Demons

I understand what Holbrook is going for and it's awesome he was supportive of same sex marriage, and I wish more cartoonists had been openly supportive of it like he was. That said, Coney's existence really kind of makes the whole thing weird and muddled because she's a carnivore that's disguised as an herbivore and it's mentioned that this is why she's so great at murdering things. This means that herbivore/carnivore unions represent an actual, literal threat to carnivores' lives, since they wouldn't be able to effectively tell the difference between prey and a fellow predator. Likewise it's also an actual, literal threat to herbivores for the same reason, now they have to worry that someone who looks like them is a secret predator who's going to murder them at any moment. And that would be fine, if this led to any sort of introspection on how their society functions and hey, maybe we shouldn't let murder be totally legal for a particular class. Like, honestly, with how hellworld works, it's hard not to agree that the politician is right and that marriages between predators and prey should be outlawed because it's a major threat to their society. For Kevin and Kell to be portrayed as right in my mind, they'd have to be saying that division between predators and prey is inherently wrong, but they're not doing that. So yeah just bugs the hell out of me. His heart's in the right place and he's basically always been supportive of minority rights but the setting his world takes place in just makes it an absolute mess.
