We've seen the coach be racist toward Fiona before, so this just comes across as the university doing one of those diversity hires to make them look good and progressive.


Did Team Evans find this thread or something? Because this is giving off the same vibe as that time James Allen used Mark Trail to complain about how people are so mean to him online. Because this entire thing with Bets has always been about how you can never trust anything you find from going online, what with Gunther finding her when Luann made him a dating profile on not-Tindr.

But the real question is which SA goon will they decide is their nemesis and insert into the comic? :allears:

Man, that last panel really says a lot about how Lynn thinks. It's not like Foob mom is going, "maybe I should trust my daughter and give her a chance." What she's actually thinking is, "maybe we should get a puppy because I think it's a good idea."

The joke's in the final panel - the blonde one agrees that you shouldn't call people names, and the people who do it are dweebs.
Also, she sat and read 125 COMMENTS? ON INSTAGRAM? (or whatever) AND SHE COUNTED THEM ALL?

This one has the feel of a long-held grudge. Something a teacher actually said to her at some point (the first three panels) and she's either just remembered it or just thought of a punchline to put in the comic.

Little Nemo(September 29, 1907)



I'll remember this comic until the day I die, because Neil Gaiman quotes the line "these people ought to know who we are and tell that we are here" in one of his short story collections and credits it to the book In the Shadow of No Towers. That line struck me when I first read it, and I sought out that book mistakenly thinking that it was a collection of Little Nemo stories. Instead, it was a completely schmaltzy tribute to the fallen World Trade Center buildings that included just this one comic.

What the gently caress, Neil? Credit the original source!

I dunno if he updated the intro at some point, but I have a copy of Fragile Things (the book he originally intended to call "These People Ought to Know Who We Are and Tell That We Are Here") to hand, and in the introduction he credits the line to

quote:

a panel from a Little Nemo Sunday page (oddly enough, you can now find a beautiful reproduction of the page in Art Spiegelman's book In the Shadow of No Towers)
The panel itself is includeded and fully referenced as Little Nemo in Slumberland, Winsor McCay, New York Herald, September 29, 1907.

I'd guess No Towers was just where he'd most recently seen a good version of it in a mass market publication.

Peanuts (November 12, 1976)


Victory at Sea is an interesting cultural artifact. A producer at NBC thought about the enormous pile of newsreel and military stock footage taken during WWII and, in the spirit of Ed Wood, decided he could make a whole TV series with that. So he hired a team of archivists to sort it all out into a narrative, got the most bombastic narrator that ever walked the earth to narrate it, and the composer Richard Rodgers (from Rodgers and Hammerstein) to write some music for it, and produced a 13 hour / 26 episode long musical montage of the US's naval war during WWII.

The show was a hit and so was the album of Richard Rodgers' score for the show. Richard Nixon was reportedly obsessed with it.

We've had a few creators turn up in the thread -- most gloriously, over a decade ago, Richard Thompson of Cul de Sac briefly appeared. It's plausible there are a few more of them lurking, maybe even undercover posting. After all, there aren't that many places on the Interwebs dedicated to this particular art form, so if they want to take the pulse of their readership, we're one of the few options.

So, to any creators who are reading this: Hi there! :wave: Even if we regularly savage your strip, I'm still glad you're making it. (Unless you're Brooke McEldowney.)
