CzarChasm posted:If you can put yourself in the position of Ed, what is Dustin? If you pay attention to the reactions of the women he tries to pick up at the bar, apparently he is supposed to be ugly. He's not drawn ugly or with terrible fashion sense, but the women react like he's at least one, sometimes both, of those.

The Bloop posted:Do people really struggle to assemble IKEA furniture? Why is this such a trope? *traumatic flashbacks to the time my mom went IKEA-crazy and spent thousands and thousands of dollars on furniture for the whole house, which took most of a week to fully assemble* still using the desk more than two decades later though

It's too bad that ikea furniture doesn't have some kind of universally recognisable tool, so the artist had to resort to drawing a generic hammer and nails.

Our Boarding House (May 29-31, 1922; spoilered for the "magic" word used in reference to a Chinese-American laundry proprietor. ("Magic" because if you're dumb enough to use it now it makes your good reputation disappear.))   Toonerville Folks (August 14-16, 1919)    R. Norris Williams, American tennis champion and Titanic survivor. "Shortly after the collision, Williams freed a trapped passenger from a cabin by breaking down a door. He was reprimanded by a steward, who threatened to fine him for damaging White Star Line property, an event that inspired a scene in James Cameron's film Titanic (1997). Williams remained on the doomed liner almost until the very end. At one point Williams' father tried to get a steward to fill his flask. The flask was given to Williams and remains in the Williams family." Dok's Dippy Emergency Contingency (April 1, 1914)  Little Lefty (December 31, 1936-January 3, 1937)  And yeah, that's the same Art Young who's been sending us to Hell in Life Magazine. He'd been feeding work to the Worker on a regular basis throughout the 1920s    This strip slid in under the first Sunday Lefty of '37, and although it had been going since the beginning of the Sunday Worker, it kinda popped at me this time around.  Blondie (From Zero) now continues its search for America's next Dagwood. (June 16-18, 1932)

Vargo posted:Curtis I think that it's because he's had to grow up too fast, and it comes out with him being very direct with the parents/adults & jokes about quasi-adult things. Every time he says something, Curtis looks like he's about to choke.

Kavak posted:Have we seen any commentary on American Indian issues or characters in Little Lefty? We saw a single native at one of the rallies in the early going, and they seemed happy to have him, but another time we also saw Uncle John seem to back manifest destiny. It's...kind of a mixed bag. Mutts  Sally Forth, in which Hillary takes a honey of a wrong turn.  Peanuts (July 12, 1975)  To be fair, he was retrieving a man down behind enemy lines. Priorities, Patty... In case you didn't know that the BSS Discord is still alive, a bunch of us spent yesterday afternoon unpacking Funky Winkerbean for a new arrival, specifically why it'd be stashed in a folder titled "Newspaper Comics Hall of Shame". Just unspooling all those headache-inducing storylines off the tops of our heads was a good time, and the repeated responses of "you have to be making this poo poo up" was deeply gratifying. but that piece of our brains could've been dedicated to learning a trade. And yeah, I know "professional snarker" is a job description now, but come on... And we didn't even get to Les Moore's Oscar for Best Actress.  Crankshaft  One thing I learned from watching too many shows like Billy the Exterminator is that if you have bees in your eaves, you better check your eaves for a hive before you stuff up the the drat cracks. Those guys dug out a lot of hidden honeycombs. One more subtle way that Ed is dooming his daughter's family. Mutt and Jeff  Rip Haywire  Thimble Theater (February 8, 1939)  Out Our Way, in which Goldfixer (or is it Slim now?) watches the finger on his personal monkey's paw curl down. (April 17-19, 1939)

EasyEW posted:Crankshaft I made this mistake once. ONCE. Wasp nest somewhere inside a hole in the siding on the house. Stuffing up the hole seems like such a reasonable thing to do after spraying in the wasp foam -- they'll be stuck in there with the poison and will die faster, right? Ask me about my kitchen full of confused, angry, and/or dying wasps.

If anybody still has the old Mark Trail Sassy panel, the one where it's a closeup of Sassy and it just says SASSY! next to her, it would be a service to the thread to dig it out of storage and post it.
