Giant Ethicist posted:No, it's the simple reason I'm pretty sure. Ghost stories give you chills! (Not that your reading couldn't be right though - but he calls himself "obake" rather than "yuurei", which would obfuscate the "rei" pun a bit.) That's what I was wondering since there are several words for "ghost" it could have been!

Hostile V posted:High School Football in America is a death cult with some really manipulative coaches who can try and insert themselves into a position of parental authority in your life sometimes. Not all the time but like a substantially more than nonzero amount of times. Death cult I could get, but they just seem weirdly whiny. It's behavior that would be more in place with an elementary school age soccer team. Which I suspect is where Holbrook was getting his motivation.

This is bizarrely explicit for Luann. Using the words "turned on"? And showing an (exceedingly mild) kink? What has got into Evans today?

Some Guy TT posted:I appreciate, EasyEW, that you're doing multiple posts a day now. More comics are great, but I often read or skip a whole page at a time and the longer the page is the more likely I am to skip in the middle of it. Not doing it all in one sitting makes it feel like less work somehow. That's a psychological hack I was counting on, to be honest. Also, just to give you an idea of how unkillable Our Boarding House once it got its legs under it, it might be worth mentioning that the grand finale of the strip involved a character selling a Middle Eastern emirate on solar energy. The only reason I'm telling you that now is we're half a century and some change away from that storyline. It's going to take us some time to catch up. (November 7-9, 1921, when you were lucky to have an electric refrigerator.)    Toonerville Folks (February 3-5, 1919)    Dok's "All Hands On Deck" Duck (January 31, 1914, and it's a shame I haven't figured out who the guy with the Dream Book is supposed to be.)  Little Lefty, featuring some more of that draftsmanship that reminds you Comrade Del was destined for bigger things outside of the Party. (June 8-10, 1936)    Apart from being an evocative turn of phrase, Bughouse Fables was one of Billy DeBeck's non-Barney Google projects. It was basically Opposite Day: The Newspaper Cartoon. Blondie (From Zero), in which jeez, Irma really turned a dubious corner, didn't she? (December 14-16, 1931)

Bobbins John Allison posted:Friends help friends, especially drunk friends, and I am sure there will be no repercussions from today’s comic. Bruceski posted:This one's fun trying to read the guy's voice as either "doesn't realize they pulled a racism on him" or "knows exactly what they were doing and is mocking them with dark sarcasm" (I mean the character's perspective, the author/reader's is pretty clear). I'm inclined toward the latter, and it's having me rethink some other Bootie strips where I read characters as clueless. I remember the dollop did an episode on the US government getting increasingly frustrated that people living around DC (mostly Virginia, IIRC) kept being racist to actual foreign dignitaries from the newly decolonised African countries. I wonder if that had anything to do with this strip.

Samovar posted:Wouldn't mind hearing that myself. Any chance of remembering the exact episode? I remember it too and am looking for it. When the UN convened in New York, diplomats from non-white countries were consistently denied services. There was a State Dept. brouhaha and restaurants, etc settled down. If memory serves, some local folks read of this, and found it useful to claim to be an African diplomat to obtain service - apparently it worked.

Vargo posted:Wallace the Brave God, I love Wallace the Brave. Spud is having the time of his life, instead of being distraught. That's a sort of wholesome community that is very rare, especially when combined with actual humor instead of a cloying, saccharine demand that you, dear reader, feel a part of it, too.

Wow, an actually relatable Crankshaft. TAXONOMY IS HORSESHIT. 90% OF VEGETABLES ARE JUST THE SAME BASIC GROWTH FORM loving AROUND, IT'S ALL loving BRASSICA BABEY. PRETTY MUCH ALL CITRUS FRUITS ARE IN AN INCESTUOUS ORGY OF THREE CULTIVARS RUNNING A PERPETUAL TRAIN ON EACH OTHER AND LOVIN' IT. TREES ARE BULLSHIT. DON'T GET ME STARTED ON ANIMALS, WE ALL KNOW "DOG" IS JUST A GENETIC SHAPE THAT GETS SQUEEZED AROUND.

Popcorn is good Look at the panel. The sugar, fat, and sodium levels are huge so it's obviously one of those super flavored caramel butter corn concoctions.
