Whew, now our children can go back to murdering the right people. I know I've been making these comments a lot but this is especially gross when there's constant strips about people being killed and eaten presented as jokes, and then he tries to pull this "Oh no, you want the students to kill and eat each other? How horrible!" You motherfucker, you show them murdering people all the goddamn time, gently caress off with presenting students murdering each other as somehow uniquely terrible. And yes I know about the law prohibiting people from eating anyone they know personally, but there's no way they know everybody at their school so that doesn't work.

Mikl posted:Classic Kevin & Kell in: may the odds be ever in your favour (January 16-22, 2006) OK a few things. 1) Your school almost Battle Royale'd your kid. I'd be a bit angrier right now. 2) You two are awful blase about watching three people get violently eaten alive. (E: Potentially by your own son as well) 3) I can't help but feel like the reason they can take this all so lightly is because their kid is a predator and therefore had a low chance of actually dying this exercise. 4) LMAO running for the school board is such a lib-brained response to this series of events. I'd be hoarding [redacted] and organizing [redacted]. readingatwork fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Feb 27, 2022 |

I appreciate the directness from Billingsley in that one. Syndicate stuff is usually a bit more anodyne.

Mutts  Sally Forth   Pearls Before Swine   Peanuts (February 28 and March 2, 1975)   HEY, LET'S CALL LES MOORE!   Crankshaft, in which someone should tell Ed that Jumble's online now.   Mutt and Jeff   Rip Haywire  And this is where Sunday Rips used to be reprints of older dailies, but that's not entirely true anymore. Dan Thompson did a Rip graphic novel in 2011, and pages from it have become the Sunday installment...since Halloween, long after I stopped checking. D'oh. Anyway, it's extra content we haven't read before, it's got an origin story attached to it, and it was originally published long before our hero's controversial pancake fixation. So for the immediate future, let's spend our Sundays reading Rip Haywire and the Curse of Tangaroa! (October 31, November 7 and 14, 2021)    Due to the unexpected extra content, we'll do the Life Magazine check-in later today. Thank you as always for your patience with my busted work ethic.

Samovar posted:In today's Blueberry: Y'know, Western Ol' Painless wasn't nearly as effective as his descendent, or Blueberry gets saved in the nick of time... AGAIN, or Trevor meets with some old friends... I've got to say, since you translated the Chinese character's dialogue in an inoffensive manner, there's probably no need to spoiler the pages he's in. His visual depiction is pretty bland and unremarkable, he's just portrayed in period-appropriate clothing. I appreciate the reasoning for it, though, and it's your call. It's good to remember that you never know who's looking at this thread, as we all learned when Jeffrey got contacted by Gary Larson's people over the last thread.

EasyEW posted:HEY, LET'S CALL LES MOORE! I hate the ones where some elderly person makes a terrible joke and the youth don't get it and this is held up as evidence of the ignorance of the kids of today, oh how we hate them. Anyway, I'm old and I also didn't get the reference so I looked it up and I guess either he's talking about a fancy music hall or he's talking about a deceased black actor (oof, if so), but either way I still don't get it. I'm confident I'd find it horrifically unfunny even if I did get it, though.

Sgt. Pepper's is an important Boomer touchstone and damned if Batiuk doesn't want to touch all those stones.

My second drop-off of the day is A Sketchy Life (February 18 and 25, 1926) Mr. Crosby showed up for the 18th, for what it's worth.  T.S. Sullivant:  Fred G. Cooper hands us a full page:  On to the 25th and Al Frueh:  Gluyas Williams:  Edwina Dumm:  And a new contender, Eugene Anthony “Gene” McNerney Jr, hands us a nominee for "What Brooke McEldowney dreams about five nights out of seven."

I'm confident I'd find it horrifically unfunny even if I did get it, though. Unsure why you'd need a name for a collective of black holes in a high school class anyway. If I'm not mistaken, almost all the black holes we know of are singletons, and we generally only find out about the binaries because LIGO picks up the gravitational waves that tell us they aren't binaries any more.
