Dustin still has the bookstore job and is actually performing his duties instead of sleeping? Maybe that customer will get him fired for being rude to him and not letting him eat.

Samovar posted:And... that's the end of this adventure! And... I also think I will be taking a break from uploading these for a while. Please note, this is not me saying I'm giving up - it's just that this story was the longest of the bunch, and I burned through my back-log doing it. As anyone else who does translation work for this thread will note, translation work is not easy... and this comic is pretty darn prolix. Thank you for all you've posted, and take your time! You're a comics thread MVP

Yvonmukluk posted:Bad Machinery Hooray, time for Part Two of my lecture on selkies! Grampa Joe's version is a little simple, but he has the basic idea. Selkies need their seal pelts to live in the water; take the pelt, you take a hostage. Generally the story is that a man spies on a selkie in her human form, decides to take her as a wife, and steals her seal skin. The selkie will track down the thief, and agrees to marry him since she's stuck on land and has no options. As long as the man hides the pelt from his wife, she can't return to the water. Eventually they have kids, the selkie is a good mother and wife and seems vaguely content, but eventually she finds her skin and disappears to the ocean, never seen again. Meanwhile, the selkie's menfolk are looking for her, and they are angry. Her father, brothers, husband, sons, come out in force to harass boats, whip up rough waters, and scare fish away from fishermen. The female selkies gather up seaweed to withhold it from people for fertilizer and help drown sailors. Sometimes a selkie will fall in love with a human, as all fairy folk do. She sets her pelt aside by choice, and stays on land with her human, mortal family until her husband dies, or she's bored of the human life. (Fairies often don't do well with human life stuff like "behaving in church" and "not abandoning your family," despite their best intentions.) Life is pretty good for the husband of a selkie who marries of her own free will: he doesn't incur their wrath, and if he's a fisherman or sailor, his in-laws offer their protection on the water and might guide him to good fishing grounds. Mama Selkie sometimes hangs around her descendants after she's returned to the ocean; there are stories here and there of men chatting with their selkie great granny, she in the water and he on his boat. Whatever the circumstances of her marriage, selkies are loving mothers to her half-human babies; at worst, she'll be a little negligent and it's best to have a good support network of humans to help when the children are young. (They don't remain helpless infants or vulnerable toddlers for very long, so some selkies don't quite understand human babies.) The children inherit their mother's fondness for swimming; some also inherit parts of her seal form, such as pelt-like body hair or webbed toes. The Seal Woman is a common story in folklore of Arctic and sub-Arctic peoples. There are some variations, but the woman is always a large sea mammal, always requires her pelt to live in the water, and pretty much always marries unwillingly. I haven't read any versions about male selkies marrying human women

Selachian posted:Get Fuzzy 6/23/02 I like Get Fuzzy a lot but I kind of don't like these ones that end with Satchel just going "Ha ha you sure did get one over on Bucky!" It doesn't really add anything to the joke, and while I know that Satchel's character is being kind of dumb it still kind of hurts the punchline. Even if it's on purpose as some sort of meta thing, it's still bad, like if a guy doing standup explains the punchline to the joke and then says "I'm doing it to show how bad explaining punchlines is!" like, so what, it's still bad and annoying. Again not saying Get Fuzzy is bad, I really do like it, just not a fan of this particular thing the strip does. Malachite_Dragon posted:I'll be the first to admit I don't know a lot about Boondocks history, political talk from the characters aside, but when they aren't talking politics they just kinda seem like... assholes. Yes, assault the mall Santa, he's not just a dude working for a paycheck to get by same as everyone else, he's totally in on the capitalism orgy. Well the kid doing the assaulting in this strip is Riley, who's the "thug life" brother of Huey and doesn't care about politics or capitalism or anything, he just wants to be a badass dude that everyone else fears and respects.

My guess is "Stuart will subtly change the arrangement so that he only has to tell what he knows about the person who's sending the bouquets, then reveal he doesn't know who it is after Marla agrees to work his shift." Either that, or "Stuart is wrong about who is sending them."
