As a parent of school-aged kids, I can't tell you how much better it is for this change and field day just becoming a big outdoor activity party vs races and all the bigger kids getting stuck on tug-of-war. That all sucked! It's better now!

The sweet little ESL girl who showed up a month ago gets as many valentines with her name on them as everyone else! So does the kid with emotional difficulties who throws chairs and nobody feels comfortable around! You know what? That kid in my daughter's class 3 years ago got his meds sorted out and is just fine now! You know what he would definitely remember? Nobody giving him a loving valentine in 2nd grade when he was going through a hard time.

Being a kid can be so hard, man. Jesus. Just be nice and let the world be loving soft for like, a few extra years.

So did Dik Browne!



Matter of fact, when Dik Browne played with his kids he'd often come roaring down the stairs in a mock rage and they'd scatter going "watch out, here comes Hagar the Terrible" and that's where we got the name if not the strip altogether.

For reference, I grew up in suburban Pennsylvania in the early 70's adjacent to areas that later became chud epicenters, and -- big surprise -- we had to give valentine's cards to everyone back in 1972, so this notion of "they are now making us do <whatever> in 2023 not like the old days" can go gently caress right off. I was there in the old days, it was exactly the same.

"From Gator Cove to left field!"

An idea out of left field is an idea that is surprising and unexpected, but generally in a weird, not entirely applicable way. Like if Mark concluded that all the gators hanging around there must be due to alien visitors from outer space, yeah, that would be out of left field. Climate change is a perfectly reasonable explanation for an observed animal behavioral change. The captions are annoying because Jules is trying to be clever but the captions always miss, going right past banal and straight to nonsensical.

I skimmed past Dustin until I saw Huxley's post. Similarly, I spent most of my elementary school years attending a tiny-rear end, extremely rural school, and "Everybody gives everybody else a Valentine" was the standard in my class. This was THIRTY gosh-darn YEARS AGO at a school where some of my teachers had no issue routinely introducing BIBLE STORIES into our lessons plans. Kelley is bitching about poo poo that was already the norm in the heart of MAGA Country when Operation Desert Storm was being cheered on the nightly news.

Bitching about everyone getting a Valentine seems like a spinoff of the classic "participation trophy" Boomer bogeyman. Only a completely out of touch old guy would possibly give a poo poo about something like that, which is why it's a topic in Dustin.

As you should, and this is definitely true. My parents made sure my sister and I always had valentine's for everyone in the class. I was both the kid with be emotional issues (the brain damage was still pretty fresh at the time) and the fat kid, go ahead and guess how many I ever got back.
