These old comics seem to have a lot of people proposing marriage within days of meeting each other.

This strip in particular always cracks me up, because there's a lot in the comic as a whole to suggest that Calvin is a genius. Not talking about his speech patterns that Watterson used as a deliberately joke, but there's several places that show he grasps concepts quite easy once he's given an incentive to care, and his troubles in school are very typical of those faced by kids that are much smarter than their peers.

Yeah, people didn't beat around the bush about marriage and kids, you had to finalize your life plans by the first weekend into dating.

There's a couple of of the And He Did! comics where the first panel is just some guy going "well I guess I'll go find a wife" like it's a decision you give no more thought to than what to have for dinner. This sort of thing maybe helps explain why there are also so many "married life is terrible!" strips. Vintage Valiant (Dec. 07, 1952)

It's the point score system they used to determine who would return from deployment first. The guy had a kid (who he might barely have seen) and having children got you points.

Hostile V posted:I believe the joke is that the 2000 election season is underway and due to the fact most of these people are involved in tech, news or culture, they no longer want to deal with the election cycle and are happy to just be on an island away from it all. I agree that's it's election-related, but interpret it as JJ wanting to send these folks to an island without hope of rescue.

Yeah, that's definitely how I read it since one of them at the end is pointing out that they're supposed to be voted off, but they actually seem to have been abandoned there.

kidcoelacanth posted:i simply cannot read arnold because i find the art so utterly repellant. it might have to best writing in the world but i refuse to give in This is true. It also describes a lot of strips, like Our Boarding House and Life in Hell and a bunch of others, that beg the question of whether they would be better as short stories instead of a lot of blather hanging over a static picture. All that talk can be well written, but if the art could be made with a stamp every time, half the job is a failure.

We did that once, "Well, I can fix it for a $1k, but I'll be back out here next year telling you the fix gave out and it'll cost you $6k to replace it. Or we can replace it this week for $6k." The fix gave out after about 6 months and there we were.
