Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!

I have a weird love of outdated current affairs jokes, so I just want to say I'm loving these. They turn into a minor puzzle where you have to step back and try to decipher what the joke might've been.

Remember John Edwards, where joking that he might be gay was apparently a big part of the presidential campaign? Yeah, that sounds dumb as hell after a whole affair scandal cropped up a few years later, but you probably don't remember that super well either!

Bil was a cool guy as well. I think he gave consent to the existential family circus or whatever it was back in the 00s as well, a kind of pre-Garfield Without Garfield blessed by the creator.

Bil himself was cool with the Dysfunctional Family Circus site (though not with all the cussing) but either his lawyer or the syndicate lawyers put their foot down and were ready to argue that Internet weirdos writing their own captions under copyrighted art wasn't fair use.

Vater und Sohn: Charity and consequence (19/1937)



A stack of 1000 Mark bills; I've mentioned that it's tough to say exactly how much a Reichsmark is worth, but one bill would probably be roughly equivalent to $250.

Great, Rivera is going to put in some educational material about comics being more that guys and gals with implausible physiques in tights. Which is true, but in Rivera's hands this is going to be stiff as a board.

You forgot about a loving mountain, Jenny?

It's ridiculously poor flight planning to forget about a mountain on your route, but one of the nice things about planes is that they can turn around and fly in different directions. If there is a mountain on your route that you won't be able to climb over, you should turn around and fly some other direction.

Also, fun fact: the FAA has no problem with you dumping things out of your plane as long as it isn't obviously dangerous (explosives, poison, etc) and you make sure no people or property on the ground comes to harm. Want to toss a bag of flour into the desert? The FAA at least has no problem with it.
