I can't think of many people in this thread's comics who I would want to play roleplaying games with; probably Wallace and his friends or the kids from Crabgrass because they'd have a good drive to do stuff and interact with the game and kids in general like to have fun but directly contrast them with the Family Circus kids and I'd rather nail a hammer into my foot than play tabletop games with Jeffy, Billy, Dolly and PJ.

Yeesh, can you imagine trying to play D&D with the Luann crew? (Don't actually try to imagine that; I would hate to be responsible for anyone's fall into despair)

Honestly I'm just glad that Tombat didn't decide to shout to the heavens and papers of record "I AM GOING TO DO SOMETHING IMPORTANT! THERE SHALL BE...A TRANS!" This just has the same weight and interest of Disney's fifteenth first queer character.

That said love of god Tombat don't try to write about The Trans Experience and use this as a jumping-off point.
He starts a story about a trans woman and it evolves into being about old white cis men dealing with age discrimination as she gradually fades into background.

It's always nice to see modern Garfield remember its roots and draw something new and entertaining. :allears: That reminds me, didn't we have somebody posting 80s-90s Garfield? I've not noticed it in awhile and it's genuinely a top tier comic.

And seems Funky might be dragging this out past the one strip. Batiuk is like the ball player who takes his time walking to base, that's out!
