Haifisch posted:Dick Tracy I am really confused about this storyline. All the flights were being held for no reason before they found out the radar was out? Apparently no radio contact either (since the guy thought it was clear skies) and nobody thought that was odd? The guy running the place is told to shape up and now there's bulldozers on the runway?! This isn't miscommunication and organization issues, whatever's actually going on here is way too bizarre for anyone to think it's not sabotage. But in that case why is the guy being blamed for the disorder and not for letting them be targeted?

Malachite_Dragon posted:"Is stealing really wrong? I mean, it's not my stuff being stolen, so who is to say I agree completely. On an unrelated note I once backhanded an infant for not having object permanence. Joking aside, I think what’s actually happening here is that the pikachu doll in bird kid’s lair belongs to one of the human children and now pajama kid is on the fence about whether or not to try and steal it back. Hence the pondering on the nature of theft.

Doomykins posted:I think we're hitting the point where new Popeye strips have gone from expanding the B cast to being entirely about the B cast who are all pretty generic, especially compared to the weird mutant sailor we like. Strictly speaking, weekday Popeye is Olive & Popeye by Shadia Amin and Randy Milholland, and has mostly been about Olive Oyl and co.

They both do it, as in hindsight the five weeks of Ham and Dregs on Sunday Popeye was pretty bad. Olive and Popeye feels like Shadia wanted to write a story about a team of ghost hunters but couldn't actually sell that anywhere so just bolted it onto an unrelated IP? Just more fuel for my bitter, goofy theories about new artists getting drafted to old IPs. And Olive as a shitkicker on par with Popeye is great, works well in Thimble itself. Extending the family, giving some love to B and C listers? Sure. But I look back at months of this now and nobody's told a single good Popeye story in half a year.  I think we all expected this Olive and Ghosts arc to end with the last feel good strip so continuing it with this clunker... ehhhh.

Fingerpori The joke is pretty simple, but translating it was slightly cumbersome. "lääkkeeksi vain" = "just for medicinal use"; I haven't heard this before, but I assume it's basically "for health", i.e. a small amount of alcohol to promote good health, that kind of thing.

catlord posted:
Yeah, I've mentioned a couple of times that it isn't clear what time period it is. It felt like the 19th century to me, as there wasn't cars or other late technology, but some outfits felt a bit more modern and the 1920s Finnish countryside was still quite underdeveloped, so I couldn't rule that out. Some of the tropes are close to romanticized view of the 19th century outlaws, who were somewhat common subject in the popular culture at the time. However at the beginning of this current story, there's a text box about bringing Into closer to "our time", which was 1953. Kennel fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Aug 8, 2023 |

why is Buck such an rear end in a top hat about this "Hey, I'm here to apologize to you." "Couldn't you have E-MAILED ME?" "No, I came to apologize to you face to face to show how important this is to me." "UGH, do you WANT something from ME?" "I want to apologize to you."

Ugly seething regret that this talented musician saved his career after I torched his rear end for sneaking into headlining at a dive bar. Then again Buck swearing a lifelong grudge over maybe $1000 in managing fees at most is pretty funny while Mud trips into big money.

So Dustin is pure poo poo and all but I want to say that at both the tattoo parlors I've been to, the person running the check-in desk is usually an intern/tat artist in training just working check-in in between helping the artists. And they always have piercings or tattoos. IE the woman chatting with Dustin probably assumes he has full sleeves at the least and they're in healing mode. Otherwise most artists want to show their poo poo off.

I really don't think the artist behind Dustin has even considered that, much less been inside a tattoo parlor to find out.

Also I am sad to see someone's finally edited the Dustin wikipedia page away from the truth that one of us wrote back ten-fifteen years ago. *date out of excessive generosity, it's likely some point in the mid-1970s.

Green Intern posted:Yeah, no poo poo she wants to play the deathsport she was recruited to play. Somehow this is being shallow. On the one hand, this is a baffling leap of logic from Holbrook to make Fiona 'learn' she's being shallow. On the other hand, it's nice to see Fiona getting some form of comeuppance. After all, it hasn't been all that long since she was being an rear end in a top hat and threw that tantrum at Rudy for daring to voice his disappointment that he didn't get a deathsport scholarship. Murdstone posted:Mark Trail So they're just gonna wait out the cops looking for them, again, like it's GTA? It's hilarious how Jules inadvertently wrote a 'lesson' that people can just keep getting away with anything and suffer no consequences for it. Doomykins posted:Ugly seething regret that this talented musician saved his career after I torched his rear end for sneaking into headlining at a dive bar. Then again Buck swearing a lifelong grudge over maybe $1000 in managing fees at most is pretty funny while Mud trips into big money. Is Buck the Les Moore of Rex Morgan? It's baffling how the comic keeps coming back to him and his boring-rear end problems.
