"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow." --Lt. Cdr. Susan Ivanova Bizarro  The Family Circus   I'm almost certain there have been comics in which Jeffy has eaten chocolate. Keeping an eye out for it from now on.

Cowslips Warren posted:Can I ask how? I came out to my mom in the mid 2000's (I kinda had to as my girlfriend sent me roses for Valentine's Day as a surprise) but there was a real fear of getting kicked out, and I was very worried about telling anyone I was a lesbian. FOOB has plenty of fuckups without us trying to make more. I assume the "thin ice" is from where it's always been: that 15/16 year old Lawrence seems to have a 20-year old boyfriend. (Note: it has not yet been specified what Lawrence's relationship to the 20 year old)

This Get Fuzzy storyline is kinda cute if only cuz it legit does make you feel bad for Bucky, despite him being a little rear end in a top hat. Though to be fair, he's a little rear end in a top hat who is not taken seriously so I don't mind him being a jerk. Either way, I second the "Aww Bucky.." sentiment.

I don't know where it's going but there were some implications which weren't great. i tried digging through the archives but I couldn't find it, must be way later if at all. Lawrence ends up with a guy named Nick at the end of the strip either way.  and this is all Lynn says in the rerun commentary (which is sparse, and i just learned about today!) ninja edit: ah.  guess we see him in a year ninja edit 2: wtf lol the only other time this mf shows up is to show them break up and it takes like 2 years real time https://fborfw.com/strip_fix/?s=ben&orderby=post_date&order=asc riderchop fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Apr 18, 2022 |

It's only a 240 box. It only get unwieldy when you buy the 480-600 packs that come in sacks.

riderchop posted:guess we see him in a year I'm not sure what would happen if a high school student showed up at their prom with a college student as their date but I sort of feel like it wouldn't be "nothing." Haifisch posted:1979 comics Oh okay, yes, so the solution was something that was literally never in the strip whatsoever. We never saw the question Encyclopedia asked, so there's no way to know he didn't say "Scoops' typewriter was stolen from his basement, do you know anything?"

Twelve by Pies posted:Oh boy this got really lovely because it comes way too close to a parallel of a trans person getting discovered by their partner and their partner getting angry over it. Considering how much he loves species as race/lbgt metaphors it really makes this one similar to the "if you don't come out to your parents it would be lying and bad" moment from the current FOOB arc, treating someone as in the wrong for being hesitant to come out to someone they know it would be unsafe to come out to. In this case too it's entirely because the snake is a designated "antagonistic" character. His role is to be a Mildly Bad character to be foil to the protagonist crew adjacent mouse, so anything that he does or happen to him is either his fault or not a big deal because he is not a chosen Good character.

Alvin: "You know, maybe if our names had been said in the comic, even once, revealing the name of Theodore in code might have been more impressive." Simon: "Yeah, you asked us the same questions, twice." Theodore: "Honestly, I didn't memorize my cipher. Why would you think I'd recognize my own name in it? I slipped in that detail about the basement because you were taking so drat long."

You know, does anyone else just read Pooch Cafe and hear Daria's dad screaming, Why don't they just put Marmaduke to sleep!?!? Bucky is an rear end in a top hat cat but we see him, once in a while, like Calvin, be sweet. Is Poncho ever, to his humans?
