Vargo posted:Once again, I do not understand what point Curtis is trying to make. Curtis' dad rightly points out that not everybody necessarily needs to pursue a traditional college education (and get ensnared in the trap of being saddled with 6-figure debt before they're 20 years old) and may be better suited for a trade school or, hell, just getting a job and learning from work experience. Clearly he is unfulfilled in his chosen profession - which requires a degree - which is also one that barely allows him to support the family paycheck to paycheck. I went to college (on my parents' dime and scholarships, no loan burden on me.) I work in higher education now. I'm not willing to go all in on "College is a scam," but I'm also not going to refute the argument entirely. davidspackage posted:

I suspect that's whichever one of the Agony sisters has the sinus problems -- that's a nasal spray, not perfume. The puff of air coming out of her ear is a joke implying she's empty-headed.

howe_sam posted:I dunno, giving up your boyfriend seems like it would make you eligible for the noble prize Not as far behind as usual so this seems like a good time to mention my theory based on FUTURE BAD MACHINERY comics that in this timeline Shauna's parents stayed together which is why she lives in a nicer house and is less neurotic in general which it makes it that much sadder that she doesn't even realize what she's giving up for Mr. Beckwith.

Steeple 16: Hell on Wheels Part 1 John Allison's Patreon John Allison's Gumroad store Steeple website John Allison posted:A new story begins and it begins with a visual reference designed to tantalise the mind. The whole issue is up as a PDF on my Patreon for $3+ subscribers and rather than the normal 22 pages of story, there are 23 because "someone" had to cut a page in half and make it into two pages and that page was this page. Value!

A hack writer would've had Spud say something they thought was hilarious and only undercut the emotional core set by the scene, or something.Professor Wayne posted:Hagar the Horrible Hagar remains my low-key favorite strip because of stuff like this. A lot of newspaper comics have the dad be a lovely father and lousy husband, but Hagar here loves his family a lot.

Clearly he is unfulfilled in his chosen profession - which requires a degree - which is also one that barely allows him to support the family paycheck to paycheck. What's interesting is that we know where Curtis' dad works; the Department of Motor Vehicles. Furthermore, whenever Greg talks about his day at work, he gives the impression he deals directly with the public. Based on what I could find on the NYDMV's website, it would appear that he might be a Motor Vehicle Representative, which according to this page, doesn't require a college degree (I'm assuming Curtis takes place in NYC, although I've also read that it could be set in Baltimore or Washington DC, but I had a harder time finding info about DMV jobs in those areas). All of the positions that do require a degree seem to deal with behind the scenes work that would not have Greg interacting with the public as part of his job (as well as higher salaries). Of course it's possible that Greg does have a degree but is in a position that doesn't require one. In short Greg Wilkins is probably in a position that he is overqualified for, which bolsters his argument of not everyone needing college. I have also spent too much time thinking about this, but that's just one of the hazards of this thread I guess.

Possibly, although note that we do see Humphrey in this timeline, who is Ella's son by Dan Finster, which would suggest that Ella and Glenn Hughes parted ways as they did in the regular timeline.

It's A Sketchy Life for May 26, 1927! The theme is THE FUTURE, and it looks like Fred G. Cooper got around to seeing Metropolis. He also demonstrates what represents "the future" to a 1927 cartoonist with his ear to the ground and an eye on the gallery.  Actually, there's a lot of that going around this week. (unsigned)  Emilio Amero (maybe):  I wasn't entirely sure about that last one until I turned the page and found A.X. Peña:  Charles Baskerville:  Nate Collier (who is strictly for squares this time around):  Fun's fun, but Sanford Tousey knows the score.
