Clothes shopping is soul sucking and energy draining; it's making me feel a little tired just thinking about it now.

I don't imagine this is being well received in actual newspapers I haven't a drat clue. I've never read Little Women so I had no idea what all that was about, and now it seems to have shifted into referencing something else that I'm not even sure what it is. Bizarro  The Family Circus  I really hope that's just sagging tights and not her leg skin.

Rae the Doe is doing a very self indulgent Little Women/Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure style mashup and it’s kinda turned into a big mess. I wish Olive would take an actual break instead of doing this as the break.

Little Women is about four sisters during the American civil war. One of them, arguably the main character, is named Josephine, and she is a tomboy who openly talks about wishing to have been born a boy, and goes by the nickname Jo. I know that the first time Rae the Doe went into this it turned into a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure reference, which is very funny, but also I don't know anything about JoJos, only about Jo, so I don't know if this is the same joke again.

Powered Descent posted:The Family Circus Just figured out what else was bothering me about this. Powered Descent posted:The Family Circus She lives in an apartment on the second (possibly third) floor. And it's not one of those multi-level condo-style units, since there are people[s] living downstairs. And yet here she is at a ground level window, waving to them on the lawn. I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.

One of them, arguably the main character, is named Josephine, and she is a tomboy who openly talks about wishing to have been born a boy, and goes by the nickname Jo. All you need to know for any JoJo parody is that: - Everyone gets at least one superpower that has incredibly specific limitations, like you can control all metal, but only while your eyes are closed. - Most of the fights are about figuring clever ways around your power's limitations, or figuring out your opponent's limitations. - All the powers have thematic names, often some reference to rock music.

Honestly the thought of parodying JoJo seems kinda creatively bankrupt to begin with, because how the hell are you gonna parody a parody? Badly, in 99,9% of the cases.

I'm amused by the fact that Mandrake is dueling cowboys in two separate storylines being posted at the same time.Powered Descent posted:Just figured out what else was bothering me about this. Actually, she could have a basement that she's renting out to another family, which would allow for people to live downstairs while still having a ground level window.

Like, I know this is what Peanuts was for the majority of its life and what it's best known for, but still. "Ha ha, he's miserable and hates his life because he's not good at anything and has no self-esteem! Hilarious!" The actual joke is probably supposed to be "He's massively overreacting and it's silly to imagine being a person being paved over for a parking lot" but that isn't really the punchline, the punchline is just "I will always be worthless" and as a person with brain problems it really bothers me. I'm not mad about Peanuts or anything but it's just early Peanuts was good fun and very light-hearted, and most of "modern" (for lack of a better term) Peanuts just feels spiteful and mean-spirited towards Charlie Brown, and he just becomes the butt of the joke because he sucks at everything.
