Hmm

In the Tinkersons strip it's treated as the teacher messing with a gullible kid, but I'm pretty sure some parents install tracking apps on their kids' phones. If implants were an option, some people would use them, and frankly the kid's right to be concerned.

I think that might be a ~technically correct~ term, but of course everyone calls it a hoop. This strip is the first Arlo & Janis to make me actually mad, because it reminded me of Ted Cruz calling the hoop a "basketball ring," and I don't like to be reminded of Ted Cruz in any capacity.

Oh man we talk about faces a lot in Valiant, but this time I love the mismatched drinking vessels in the penultimate panel. Two cheap wooden mugs, a cup and a fancy swan bowl all come together to tell you these guys get their dishes from looting, they're uncultured enough that the fancy swan bowl they loot gets used as a profane booze cup, and they're not even good enough at looting to get everyone a fancy swan bowl.

That's very true. I feel a need to go back and reread more Prince Val because of all the drat details in it.

These guys clearly are envious of Val's hair.

If you want to spend ages poring over comic art crammed full of beautiful, carefully thought-out details, all in service of a good story, may I also refer you to Don Rosa's Uncle Scrooge / Donald Duck comics.

From Joeystarr to MC Solaar. This is a real naming convention. Speaking of naming conventions, Brian Nankervis was an Australian comedian who appeared on British television in my youth. I also recall him briefly depicting a sort of “Ghostbuster” on Neighbours. So seldom do I talk about Neighbours here but I could do so for hours. Nankervis is a very Cornish name.

When you make a basket in basketball, it is called a "field goal." I learned this when I was a kid and our coach kept track of those stats for us and gave them to us at the end of the season. I made one. I was not good at basketball.

I think it reflects their personalities as well, based on the previous strip. The slave driver has a swan bowl to show how much better he is than other people, the strong guy has a manly simple mug, and the dandy has a goblet.

Regarding this strip, I love that the correct solution to "an eldritch abomination has laid eggs under the pier" is "let's encourage her to leave and relocate her and the egg somewhere safer for both them and humans" :3:

This is just good advice and a courtesy to the gift recipient so they dont have to do a return without it.

Also I don't remove price tags or sale/discount stickers off gifts unless its ruining the way I want to present or display the gift in some way. But then that's what boxes and wrapping are for so lol.

Again a very likpatous story

Holy poo poo this is weirdly relevant to recent events. I knew I'd heard the name Larry Elder before, and I finally realized it a little bit ago: he was Gavin Newsom's opponent in the failed California governor recall earlier this year.

He's a fervent Trump supporter who says he thinks that Trump was sent by God, opposes minimum wage laws (he straight up said "The ideal minimum wage is zero"), said that domestic violence claims are exaggerated by feminists, thinks secondhand smoke is a hoax, and has said that welfare is more harmful to black families than slavery.

So yeah, I'd say he qualifies as awfully far to the right.

Especially when it comes to Ed, since I doubt he has enough consideration for other people to buy them a thoughtful gift. He'd be the kind of person who'd buy something he wanted.

I can also see him buying something she’d genuinely enjoy, but he’d be an rear end about it. Pretty sure she’s taken him to theatre and stuff and while she’s trying to have a good time he sits there huffing and puffing that HE IS BORED

As a way of showing how awful his character is, it works; the problem is the strip tacitly sides with him as the put-upon Boomer and wimmin, amirite?
