Twelve by Pies posted:Like in one of the Our Boarding Houses when one character called another "gay boy," which wasn't even really an insult. It looks bad to our modern culture because that's just how the word has changed, but it wasn't weird or out of place then.

As always the ability of Luann to take the story in the dumbest direction possible is incredible. Is it even "love trauma" if you've never gotten to the point of dating? I'd consider love trauma to involve at least a break up!

Doomykins posted:As always the ability of Luann to take the story in the dumbest direction possible is incredible. I will give a pass on this. When you are 13-17 and you are blinded by hormones, you don't have the mechanisms for dealing with reality, especially when it comes crashing into your romantic fantasy/intense crush. So every imagined slight (because they are all imagined, because literally nothing is happening) is the end of your world. Every love letter you attempted to write. The one you actually wrote. Slipping it into their locker. Getting let down easy. Getting a hard "no". Getting an "Ew". Getting laughed at. Getting no response at all. That all hurts, and at no point did even one date take place. I'm not saying Luann is good or even all that relatable. They're just not wrong. This time.

I was always confused by the idea that self-sacrifice was a tenet of satanism. Even the satanic panic nuts claimed that satanists were out to sacrifice innocent people, not themselves Of course, the joke is based on a court case where Judas Priest was sued for allegedly having pro-suicidal subliminal messages. It turned out to be nonsense. https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/judas-priest-suicide-lawsuit-subliminal-messages/

Solver: Green Door John Allison's Patreon John Allison's Gumroad store Forward Slash Scare website for Allison's side comics John Allison posted:What a beautiful kimono. That’s Dean Thompson style, then and now. Lottie is far too young for the X-Files, but this fascination will be explored in the next Solver story. Tura Satana was a Japanese-American actress who is probably best known for her role in the exploitation film Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!. Here's a photo from her Wikipedia page:

Wikipedia posted:Satana was born Tura Luna Pascual Yamaguchi in Hokkaidō, Japan.[2] Her father was a Japanese silent movie actor of Filipino descent, and her mother was a circus performer of Native American (Cheyenne) and Scots-Irish background Also. Just read the following paragraph on that article. Jesus Christ. Her childhood was basically 'I spit on your grave" Hippocrass fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Aug 24, 2022 |

EasyEW posted:It's an all-mother Tuesday in today's Out Our Way! (August 28-30, 1939) It's been said before, but OOW really is remarkable. It ran for so long, and its art is closely-observed enough that you can watch the changing standard of living for an American family. Like, that bathroom's got tiles, and that neighbour has a mantel piece w/ a clock on it! Fancy! You barely got indoor plumbing when the strip started.

Green Intern posted:I think it's the part about Rabbits Being Good At Fuckin, which in the K&K universe is actually true and is often used as a punchline by Holbrook. Also, re: Dustin, even if Dustin's Dad In Blackface And Drag was correct, they're at a temp agency and thus the events described would never happen even without the making GBS threads On Dustin part. He'd be long gone to another job before he could have a chance to "impress the boss" or whatever the writer think happens.

I imagine it's because they're about to spend a storyline riffing on MtG whereas pokemon was only used for single reference piece of contextual set dressing.
