My favorite anime trope is when aliens/creatures from other dimensions eat Japanese food and think it's the most delicious thing in the universe.

Similarly, there was a manga I read a few years ago about an ancient Roman who could time travel to modern Japan and he was amazed at the bath houses.

I legitimately have no idea if we're meant to find this guy to be humorous or just the worst person to ever live. It'd be easier if everyone else in Funky wasn't ALSO a wryly-smirking rear end in a top hat exulting in how huge they are in their small pond.


This is driving me nuts too. This band leader guy is drawn in the most smug way imaginable but the way Baituk writes his escapades make me think that we are to be “oh you silly :allears: but how the gently caress could I possibly react to that smug face with anything but contempt, never mind the fact that he’s a egocentric loser who thinks he’s the best thing since sliced bread. Madness, all of it.

This is another of those series of strips which point out the characters growing older: Rudy was thirteen at the start of the strip, but now he's sixteen.

Also, one thing Holbrook got right: you should really avoid using public wi-fi, unless you're taking appropriate precautions.

In my experience, it's normal to announce that you're going to bed, or otherwise indicate why you are leaving the room. Because it is useful for the other people you're around to know if you're not coming back (and thus they might want to change the channel or do something else with the TV), or if you're going to be passing the kitchen and can grab a beer or something on the way back.

I mentioned several times that the in-universe explanation is "blackmail", but sometimes you just gotta find those receipts. And turns out that storyline was slightly more nuanced than what I remember. But still vaguely unsettling, in the traditional Holbrook manner.
