iirc the storyline kicks off with the dad getting ready to buy a new car and offering the old car to jeremy on condition of the van being sold to make room

Yeah the only reason it's being sold was because there was already a new (old) one on deck.

I think Jeremy specifically being blaise about it now, despite all the hemming & hawing of before, is probably just a joke about being getting over things quickly sometimes. And probably meant to take the sting out of the van being comically flattened over as the punchline.

Honestly while it was long in the tooth I didn't hate the van selling story as much as some people did.

Breaking Cat News

From the Instagram

quote:

The �Fruit box cat bed tower� from today�s strip is very real! Here are some pictures. You have likely already seen it in my other photos, shot from above. A maroon cat bed is on the top layer in real life.

It�s the daily afternoon napping spot for Puck, with assorted guests. There is artwork from the Girl inside and out, along with inspirational messages for the cats. The Girl asked me to point out that while the Boy taped it together, it was actually her who decided it needed pillows and put them in. (I got that part wrong in the re-telling. 😅 It�s a whole new experience now that the Girl and Boy can read along with all of us! 🤣❤️) This tower has been standing strong since June and we�ve never had a more loved cat bed. They do sleep in the bottom too, but I could not find any photos of them in there. I will try to catch some! (And despite the one cute photo of the Boy hugging Ora Zella, the kids stay off this to keep it safe and standing for the cats.)

The little chickie Elvis is sleeping with in the last picture is from Matt Tarpley�s �Cat�s Cafe� comic. (You can find it on @gocomics and on @catscafecomics on Instagram! It�s great!) The Girl and I are big fans, and there are a few plushies in the house. Elvis keeps stealing this little chickie to play and nap with. 🤣❤️ Between this toy and clucky chicken, Elvis loves a little chicken for some reason!

The van selling story is the same as Curtis gets a new hat story - meaningful for the author but not as meaningful for any reader as the author thinks it will be.

"Yorrocks, Yorrocks!" is probably a mangled reference to the Jorrocks stories, which are humorous tales about an avid fox hunter. Similarly, "view halloo" is what you're supposed to yell when you spot the fox leaving cover.

Archie 4/1-3/46

I think the implication here is that Archie lost a bet and has to buy Jughead a soda?

what an odd use of the term screaming meemies. It's certainly from GI slang of WW2 referring to the Nebelwerfer rockets. Made a huge racket, considered very disturbing.

It was also used in WWI and became associated with those of "nervous disposition" due to, you know, all the soldiers using it as a nickname for the artillery that was shelling them having come back from the war with then-unrecognised PTSD.

If I tried to write a Ballard Street strip, it would be mere monkeycheese randomness and would be totally unworthy of the name.

I have never figured out just what it is that makes Ballard Street so magical, but it's there in every drat strip.

On another topic, while quoting this I noticed that your filenames are all "Screen-Shot-xxxx", so I'm guessing you're doing screenshots because GoComics blocks right-click save-image-as. Public service announcement for anyone doing the same thing: that's really easy to get around. Install a browser add-on called Stylus (Firefox, Chrome), which lets you make changes to the way your browser renders various sites. In this case, you can use it to turn off the silly right-click block. In the settings for the Stylus add-on, create a new style, name it something like "GoComics right-click" (or anything that strikes your fancy), and paste in these lines in the big code window:
code:
.item-comic-link-disabled, .js-item-comic-link, .item-comic-image {
    pointer-events: auto !important;
    cursor: default !important;
}
You are now free to right-click and download all the comic images you like.

I had been getting into GoComics using a bookmark that disabled the rightclick blocker thing and it had been working fine, though it was an extra step. I just tried this and it works. Thank you, thank you.

2018 Spiderman

And that's the end of this glorious, stupid strip. As much as I love NSM, I'm posting a billion more comics than I did when I first started posting reruns from 1999 onward, and that includes another timeline of NSM. So as much fun as it'd be to start from the 'beginning' again, I'm gonna let it rest for a bit.

An archive of Spiderman strips from 1999 to 2017 can be found in the OP of the Newspaper Spiderman thread, and strips from later years are posted throughout it(mostly by Synthbuttrange). Modern reruns are still being posted there, so check it out if you need more :spidey:

One thing, among many many many things, that bug me about this hellshitworld of his, is how everyone are loving 24/7/365 obsessed with food! Who the gently caress wants a bunch of food as christmas presents for instance? And everyone in this dumb strip ought be so obese that they have to use mobility scooters.
