"Prejudice would go away if we all looked the same. But we don't all look the same and that's awesome. So I guess don't have prejudice"

Okay, so like... prejudice isn't just about outward appearance though. There's still sexual/gender prejudices, religious prejudices, territorial ones, etc...

But even if it was, this doesn't do anything because NOT EVERYONE LOOKS THE SAME NOW. People all still have differences, they just now have bigger teeth and ears! There are three different skin tones right in the second panel!!!

I guess it means "since everyone looks the same (as Joe) prejudice and ridicule were ended (for Joe)" but that's not how it works or how it reads!

Even without those factors prejudice would still exist because it’s the primary way class-based hierarchies are justified while also serving as a useful tool to push the naturally occurring negative outcomes of capitalism/colonialism/society in general/etc away from the upper classes and towards the “right” people. In other words, if you need to do something lovely to a large group of people it’s usually a good strategy to characterize them as fundamentally deficient in some way so that the general public doesn’t feel a need to get involved. Removing the surface level attributes used to justify these actions post-hoc would do nothing to prevent this.

Please please please, let it be that Ed misread without his glasses and he's signed up for a pole dance class (b/c who the gently caress has ever heard of pole vault classes in adult ed :wtc:). I'd forgive this comic at least a few of its sins if it made Ed extremely uncomfortable for a week run.

1. I need to find a way to work "Good jumpin' jizzywitches!" into a conversation someday.
2. What's with "Bock is back"? Bock beer was originally a seasonal drink, sold in the spring. In the days before the Coorsmillerbud monolith, people got their suds from local breweries, who would run ads letting bock fans know when it was available. Those ads usually included pictures of goats, because Bock means "billy goat" in German.

“Let ‘er rock” in 1946? I know rock as a genre predates 1955, but I’m surprised to see this. I’m not sure when an Archies rock band was introduced.

These are the first interesting Pogos, too. Giving every character the same irritating fakey accent makes it rough at times.

Dollars to donuts Kelley is either going through a rough fourth divorce or all of his ex-wives are coming back to him for alimony or something. Boomer chud cartoonists project all of their problems and every perceived slight against them straight into their work.

Ah, that nice sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.

So is Jerry going to snitch on Marla for being at that trade show or is this when Stuart gets promoted and Marla has to bury her risky dream to take the sure money? Of course since Retail is very accurate and well written about the horror of the retail worker experience I think that second option is most likely. :(

I don't know either, for the record, but my assumption based on my knowledge of RETAILS FROM THE FUTURE is that she has to ditch the whole plan when she finds out she's pregnant and needs her health insurance.
