Fingerpori Untranslatable Fingerpori  The original Finnish is "muista anoa". "Anoa" means to apply, to beg, to petition. "Ano" is also a rare Finnish male first name, and the partitive form of Ano is Anoa. "Muista" is also an expression for sending someone birthday greetings, a present or something similar. Like literally "remember someone". So the joke can be either "remember to apply" or "remember Ano and send him a present". As an aside, Ano Turtiainen is a Finnish far right politician who is constantly skirting our hate crime laws, which I'm sure is extremely surprising based on his appearance alone.

I hesitate to comment on parenting too much because I’m not a parent and have no idea what I’d do with my son in a situation like this. But losing the car for six months because Michael got on the freeway seems ridiculously excessive. (I’m aware of Lyn’s “angels told her to let her kid come in from frigid temperatures” story.)

Dr Dad DDS is suggesting that Michael loses access to HIS car, meaning the sports car, for six months. He can still drive Mom's Boring Wagon to bring his sister to practice and w/e It's still excessive though, yes

He can still drive Mom's Boring Wagon to bring his sister to practice and w/e the whole car was a basically irresponsible purchase and the best way to handle this is to just do a ton of ride-alongs until you're sure the kid has a handle on how powerful it is, as well as a job to pay off the speeding ticket he's inevitably going to get the second you turn your back it's just extremely unreasonable expectations territory

Yeah, it's important to recognize that Dr Foobdad is less mad about Michael driving around as much as he is mad that Michael went driving in his precious midlife crisis mobile, the one everyone told him was a stupid and irresponsible purchase. Michael hasn't yet earned the right to be as dumb and careless as his dad (according to his dad). Breaking Cat News is in reruns this week while Georgia Dunn takes some time off. She posted on Twitter that her editor decided this week would be a "Lupin's Greatest Hits" week instead of the normal straight-through week of reruns we normally would get. So enjoy this RIP Lupin week!  Phoebe and Her Unicorn  Wallace the Brave  Curtis  Are we still loving doing this? And didn't Curtis basically poo poo all over Michelle for being a "likes addict" in this strip like six months ago?

I am surprised that Wilbur is getting what he deserves...but it's Monday. I expect to be disappointed again by Sunday. (Also adding my voice to the "Shut the hell up, Mary" chorus. Maybe this is the week that Estelle finally lays into her for her crap advice.)Vargo posted:Yeah, it's important to recognize that Dr Foobdad is less mad about Michael driving around as much as he is mad that Michael went driving in his precious midlife crisis mobile, the one everyone told him was a stupid and irresponsible purchase. Michael hasn't yet earned the right to be as dumb and careless as his dad (according to his dad). About 20 years ago, when I was in driver's ed/learner's permit mode, my dad bought a Jeep Wrangler as his midlife crisis "I always wanted one of those" car. I have driven it once since then, for a grand total of two miles (And I think he doesn't know about that drive to this day.) Losing access to a sports car for 6 months doesn't even register for me. quote:Breaking Cat News is in reruns this week while Georgia Dunn takes some time off. I didn't expect a second week off of this setup. Fantastic. (Also I really liked how the fourth graders referenced hijacking the school's PA last week. Nice bit of continuity.)

Vater und Sohn: Great-grandpa, grandfather, father and child... (49/1936) Christmas is coming! The title is a reference to a 19th century poem about four generations of women musing on the following day's holiday and their lot in life - child and mother are looking forward to tomorrow, for grandmother it's a day of work like any other, and great-grandmother feels on death's door. Then lightning strikes and kills them all.

Giant Ethicist posted:He's a regular and turns up a lot. I'm honestly not sure - skin tone aside, he reads pretty ethnically ambiguous to me, and there's a strong tradition in manga of drawing Japanese people with lips like that too. being it's a different culture I'm not actually offended since he's not played as a clown/buffoon.

Selachian posted:Brenda Starr 1/29-31/48 Oh, the Camp Fire Girls! Started "unofficially" in 1910, the Camp Fire Girls were created as female counterpart to the Boy Scouts, and predate the Girl Scouts (originally called Girl Guides) by two years. It went co-ed in 1975 and is now called Camp Fire Boys and Girls. They don't have the same brand awareness as the Boy Scouts or the Girl Scouts, on account of not selling stuff like cookies or pop corn, but they're still around. Former Camp Fire Girls include Madonna, Shirley Temple, Gladys Knight, and Janis Joplin. I was also one, but we didn't do outdoor stuff and I never made it past Bluebird.

Mutts Sally Forth  Pearls Before Swine  Skippy (May 15, 1934)  Peanuts (February 3, 1975)  Funky Winkerbean  Crankshaft  Mutt and Jeff  Rip Haywire  Thimble Theater (September 1, 1938)  Out Our Way (March 3-5, 1938)    Toonerville Folks (September 5-7, 1918)    Dok's Dippy Counterattack (December 18, 1913)  Little Lefty (January 9-10, 12, 1936)   So who is the "old friend" they're talking about? Well, you'll have to wait a little bit longer because...  This is the week the Sunday Worker started, which looks shockingly close to a regular Sunday paper, albeit with a very unique editorial slant. There's a sports page, a movie review (a glowing review for Chaplin's Modern Times), and a Sunday magazine, which is where the comic strips live. And Little Lefty on Sunday? It looks like a Little Lefty dropped in from any other day. Literally, in this case.  But since I brought it up a couple of days ago, you're probably wondering about It Can't Happen Here: The Comic Strip, based on the Sinclair Lewis novel. So let's take a taste of that, as illustrated and heavily condensed by Ned Hilton.  (Retyped because microfilm processing doesn't do the tiny typeface any favors.) Blondie (From Zero) promised us that Dagwood was taking a trip to the punchsport pagoda, but it's taking its sweet-rear end time getting around to it. (August 10-12, 1931)
