'Cuz it's KILLIN' ME!
Was Arnold ever collected into a book? Seeing it posted is bringing back memories of buying it at a thrift store and completely hating it, even as a small child. But I may be totally making that up.

There was no book. I would've bought used copies if it had.

That's because Family Circus is made by and for people who haven't been on a plane since 1987. And who think kids wear vests.

It makes me wonder when this strip originally ran. I would imagine it's from the 70s or 80s, but I'm not sure if having a skateboard would fit into that (it could also be a later addition).

I spent years flying for work and saw people skateboard to get around terminals more than once. Less annoying to walk around than those golf cart things.

You're right. That was a bad translation on my part. So I switched to something more contextually accurate despite being farther away from the literal meaning of the line. Translation's fun!

It's just as bad the other two where he hugs dustin or whatever and it's always centered around Ed's feelings and even here this is just because Ed feels bad about himself and isn't about making his wife or his children feel good. It's completely self-centered.

How is Summer 2: Electric Boogaloo the best season? Clearly winter is the best season because it's the only one where you can actually do things outside without dealing with heat exhaustion.

For now, anyway.


Although it wasn't retail, I did factory work for a while and on the second day I got a verbal warning for clocking out early from my shift the night before.

The shift ended at 7 PM, you see, and I had clocked out at 6:58.

The only thing about winter for me (aside from frigid temperatures) is driving in the snow. I'm south of the Mason-Dixon line and the stereotypes of southerners who don't know how to drive in snow is pretty much right on the money.
