I like the subtle implication that Stuart thinks Cooper should have driven an hour and used his own gas to drive another x hours there and then those hours back for free. It's so management-brain and it pairs perfectly with the upfront jokes we're given. :allears:

Zelda is super weird to look at. I don't know how such a talented artist produces something so visually boring.

I was about to say I kinda liked someone who didn't give a gently caress and held it by the bulb, but then I saw that she swapped which hand held the glass in question twice and now I'm annoyed.

I mean you're supposed to hold a wine glass by the bowl for reds and by the stem for whites.

(I hold all wines by the bowl because I have a tremor, and holding a glass by the stem is a dicey situation. I did exclusively use stemless glasses until I broke them all, gotta make a trip to Crate & Barrel soon.)

I drink wine almost exclusively out of coffee mugs (though not because of kids and pets, but just because I'm a clumsy oaf), and the elaborate shock my Wine Friends always react to the news with is worth the price of admission.

Haraiso Days

That style of uniform is worn at junior high schools and high schools these days, but traditionally (like 1910-1930 or so) it was worn at universities (and the line between what we now call high schools and universities was pretty blurry as well). Which is why the Kimetsu no Yaiba demon hunters wear them too, being set in that era.

Mark Trail

This has been a relatively competent Mark Trail story so far, making it a standout, but I appreciate the tiny incompetence of hastily drawing a patch of grass in a thought bubble to demonstrate that when Mark said he thinks somebody who owns a lawn would use weed killer, he imagined and showed this to the audience in case we didn't know what a lawn is or we couldn't wait for panel four, a nice illustration of a lawn.

I dunno, it's just such a goofy little touch. :allears:

Oops, claw hand on Cherry in panel 1. And man, the flat single color(or sometimes.. TWO) backgrounds are kinda dull. Especially when that panel 4 pops nicely.

KUOW described Profanity Hill as "the one-time seat of the King County Courthouse and a hill so steep it supposedly had attorneys and judges cursing left and right by the time they reached the top." Which makes it the perfect fit for Our Hero.
