Everything these characters have been saying sounds absolutely insane. Mermaids are running a fishing scam to trick humans into becoming immortal fish-people, with the implication they've been doing this to expand their dwindling gene pool. In any other situation, they'd be considered the baddies, so I guess it's no wonder they get along so well with DNA Wizard here.

I had to reread it several times, including once out loud, to make sure it was saying what I thought it was saying. I don't remember this bit about people saving mermaids turning them into one?

That's what I mean, yeah, Barry's nonsense in his books (the one that comes to mind is a bunch of made-up Americana stuff presented as fact from an "expert") was part of the jokes and I read Adams's "I am so much better than my co-workers" stuff in a similar vein because I got into them at the same time.
I've said this before, but I think the easiest way to understand Scott Adams is to (1) take him at his word when he said Dogbert said everything he wished he could say without getting punched; and (2) take him as only ever being half-kidding at BEST whenever he says something over-the-top about how everyone's dumb, because that's basically the gateway he opens to the magical land of 'well who's to say what ANYTHING really ever means, that's just like, a bunch of idiot's opinions, man' which is a very handy stance to take when everything else you say is easily refuted by knowing anything about anything.
Okay, I've tried putting both strips in separate tabs and swapping between them rapidly and even that isn't getting me any detectible difference. I give up and admit defeat. Tell me your secrets.

As a former Dilbert fan(decades ago) it's a shame that he went insane, though he always thought he was a genuine 200 IQ better person. Easier to hide it when people only see your cartoon collection blurbs every few years, though he had an e-mail mailing list/newsletter that was apparently psychopathic even 20 years ago. He's the kind of guy who thought he invented self actualization.

I understand how a guy who became a millionaire on the back of a handful of once mildly clever workplace barbs(the 5-10 years after he'd actually seen an office) paired with really bad art would think they are in fact a super genius who cracked the code of life. Like poo poo, at least Jim Davis was clearly good at cartooning with 80s Garfields being a visual treat, Dilbert must've felt like a total fluke at the time. "Oh, that's it? I won at life? I must be luck... special and talented."

I'm not sure if I'm disappointed that the car isn't legit haunted, but I'll never say no to Transformers. Using Cliffjumper seems a little on the nose, though. (I think it's Cliffjumper, anyway; I can't remember any other Autobot with horns, but they're the wrong color)

The way Team Evans is handling this is so weird. Like, there's nothing bad about wanting to check out a hot boy. Tiff could just walk out there and casually ask him how he's doing. But having Tiff spy from her room and say she's a creep for it is just Team Evans conflating someone being horny with being a creep.

Both scenes are equally good. :3: I can see Allison changing the page because he wanted Mr. Goater to say goodbye to the trio since they all deserve equal credit for their help in the case.

bumblebee also had the horns, being the same toy. kup is the right colour but doesn't have the horns, but maybe that's just because he wasn't undercover on earth at the time? maybe it's brand new character pessimus novissime!

I guess it depends on how many people you split it between? I imagine that thing is for sharing. Even then though using it for more concentrated drinks seems like tempting fate to me.

Global warming is hitting Finland extremely hard, since traditionally our buildings are built to retain heat at all costs, because traditionally our summer have been short and cold, and our winters long and properly cold. In my flat, where the windows face south and I get sun all day, the inside temperatures reach ~36 degrees on sunny days, and it's impossible to get rid of the heat. Just the walls heating up and storing heat will be enough to keep the place uncomfortably hot for a long, long time.

So in short... would.

Bonus!

Otsikkoaika ("headline time") is a new comic by Samuli "Samson" Lintula of Dark Side of the Horse. The premise appears to be that he takes an actual news headline from somewhere and reinterprets them. Right now there's only this one strip, only on social media, only in finnish. If there's more of them and it's within my power to translate them, maybe I will do so.
