I wonder if this was around the point where Lynn suspected her husband was having an affair and so had comic-dad start being a creep? That, or Lynn just wrote the dad thinking teenage girls are beautiful without putting any thought into how creepy that is.

Eh, my dad used to make jokes like this to pretend he was trying to be cool. Sometimes he even pantomimed driving off on a motorcycle

I remember when My Friend's Dad turned into My Friend's Creepy Dad. I was about the same age as these two and I spent a lot less time at her place after that.

no, they hurriedly booked a vacation way too late and at too high a price after finding out about Ted's mom giving them some money, because one of Hil's friends suggested it was a good idea to do

There�s no greater pleasure than drawing the inside of a car and trying to arrange comic characters within it, from a series of angles. It�s easy and that�s why everybody does it all the time.

I like the detail of Billie's eye in the rear-view mirror in the third panel.

As a small addendum to this, in Finnish we use the term "needs" as a polite euphemism for pees and poops. You can say "someone is taking care of their needs" to indicate someone is in the bathroom or that someone's dog is pooping on your lawn or whatever.

In fishing, at least, trolling is moving slowly across a body of water dragging lines (ie, a trolling motor on your jon boat); trawling is commercial fishing boats dragging nets (literally trawls, pulled by trawlers).

Arlo is trolling, because he's moving slowly trying and to catch something.

e: In fact, the modern usage of trolling (at least according to the wiki) has its roots in the fishing term, and "someone who habitually trolls" being a troll and "troll" being a mythical creature/rear end in a top hat aren't linked. (At least not outside the term probably catching on in the first place because the coincidence is so good.)

Definitely not too early. The first definition of "troll" on Urban Dictionary is from 2002, so it was certainly in reasonably common use online by then and the cartoonist does seem pretty online

Hippocrass posted:

Google gives me this as the first result:

Trawling seems like a regional equivalent of the second definition.

Thanks for the input everyone. I had only ever heard of fisher trawlers trawling to get fish. Never even considered 'trolling' as a variation on it (then again, I do come from Scotland, so maybe vowel pronunciation there is more distinct?)
