Rerun week continues. Also in bad news:

JJ posted:

There are a lot of new members in this group, because Gannett Co., Inc. cut a deal with the distributors of newspaper comics to purchase a package of about 30 features which will be used by the approximately 200 newspapers in their chain. Any feature not on the list is pretty much out in the cold, and that includes A&J. I know this is quaint, but if you enjoy A&J and have seen it dropped from your newspaper, complain to the editor! He has no power, really, but perhaps enough complaints will filter upward to Gannett headquarters. And when you are reading A&J in your local newspaper, again, you can still come back here for the fun. It ain't over till it's over!

Kinda relieved Wilbur didn't slug his wife and I can pretend this is a consenting adult roleplay relationship, even knowing the times it was published in. Oh well!

This is referencing the norwegian fairy tale the Boy Who Had an Eating Contest With the Troll.
Basically it's a boy sent to a forest to chop some wood. A troll arrives and is like "hey, this my forest, what the gently caress?" The boy then squeezes a cheese and says if the troll tries anything he will gently caress him up as easily as he's squeezing the cheese he's pretending is a rock. The troll falls for this lie and invites the boy to his home to eat some porridge. Realizing how loving stupid the troll is, the boy challenges the troll to an eating contest. After a while the troll is up to his ears in porridge and is ready to admit defeat, not happy with simply winning the contest the boy tricks the troll to slice open his stomach to make room for more porridge. The troll does this, dies and the boy then steals all his poo poo.

She wants to stick it to "the man". Nobody in the MWverse is prepared for anything edgier than politely shuffling your feet in discomfort about "the man". (and even that's pushing it)

i wonder if the original idea was for mud to incorporate the method into the cartoon and then someone read the script and went "uh, are you really suggesting mirakle method tv indoctrination?" so it had to be rewritten to take the cartoon out of the picture

No, she ran off like a moron before hearing whether he was actually interested in her or not. It was supposed to be a cute story of Papagoras being visited by someone he loves; I still can't believe how badly this story went down. :psyduck:
