Murdstone posted:Mark Trail It's not a dad joke, it's just an old joke told badly. The whole point of that joke is, the set-up sounds like you're talking about directions to the location of Carnegie Hall, the twist is: no, I was talking about performing there! Ha-ho! But in this case, the lady was talking about performing in the first place. So what's the joke??  That fucken squirrel or whatever it is understands my rage. quote:Mary Worth "...You said the n-word so many times!"

Murdstone posted:Mary Worth In any other scenario, this would just be two people who haven't seen each other in decades reconnecting by bonding over the things they liked. But this is explicitly Keith inviting his ex-girlfriend to an activity that he suggested so he can try winning her over and have an 'in' with his kid who doesn't want anything to do with him. So all the compliments to Kitty and reminiscing over how much fun they had, how great they were together, feels a bit... manipulative.

It's apparently just a smart AI (because of course it is) acting as the GPS. Ignore the fact that it's asking things it's not programmed to do, or the weird coincidence that it's named after Rudy's half-brother who got shuffled away from the strip ages ago.

Crabgrass Big Nate  Blind Alley     And that's it for Blind Alley year 2. The strip is currently on hiatus until spring but in the meantime Adam has a new short comic called Brambles running on Patreon which is pretty cute imo.

It's loving stupid is what it is. I didn't know about the car being a brain-clone of Rudy because it copied his phone data. I've no clue why the hell Holbrook keep portraying technology being super invasive into someone's privacy as a good thing.

everything has to talk in holbrook land. animals talk, trees talk, houses talk, computers talk, the individual programs on those computers talk to each other. mars, the planet, the pile of rock in space, talks and has an identity. you could make a bigger deal out of it like you could with the constant rolling marriages and pregnancies, though i'm inclined to err on the side of that's just how soap operas work. not sure how to explain "everything talks" in a convenient narrative way though

i was just about to scream this at my monitor, thank you. also, IF YOU DO EXTRA WITHOUT ASKING/WORK WITHOUT PAY, THEY WILL REWARD YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE A GREAT WORKER. reminds me of an ex-friend who 'worked' at her friend's new game store. Now she had left her normal job some time back and was "working" for him. Including all the setup, painting the walls, retiling the floor, stocking, running the cash register. She wasn't paid in money but did get a few games once in a while. And she insisted this was super special and important because she wanted the store to succeed! And her dad was super mean for wanting her to get a soulless cashier job again! And she would rather be "working" 10 hour days at this game store instead of being at home or being forced to get a real job. edit: Val, Aleta, damnit, stop being stupid!

I don't really enjoy defending For Better or for Worse but I have the urge to keep the hate readers honest now and again - There has been an ongoing story for months about her having been laid off and her inability to get another job, more or less precisely about how "just walk into a store and ask for a job!" doesn't work, at least not for a middle-aged woman, and this is more about her noticing and jumping on a coincidental opportunity when she sees it.

AP did a writeup today on McDonnell's decision to let Guard Dog free with this storyline: https://apnews.com/article/mutts-guard-dog-free-comics-d831d5fe301ca92bb4e0e45631dda8b0 Some choice quotes: quote:Patrick McDonnell, the cartoonist who draws the popular strip, is freeing his character Guard Dog, liberating an animal who has become for decades a symbol of the cruelty of dog chaining. quote:Guard Dog was added about a year after launch as McDonnell explored the idea of having an antagonist for his heroes. quote:Fans of Guard Dog would regularly plead with McDonnell to free the mutt but the artist was also lobbied by animal welfare groups to keep the dog chained as a way to increase the spotlight on the issue. I've always been a fan of Mutts, it's rarely actually funny but it's always (usually) cute and good for a soft smile, which is all I can ask. McConnell seems like a great, thoughtful, guy. I respect him for stuff like the "tragic figure" quote, it shows that he actually cares and puts thought into his silly little kitten comics, and that's why this storyline is hitting the notes he wants it to. Compare it to other gag strips taking serious stances and it's a work of art. McConnell has his passion projects, he stays in his lane, and that makes everything feel sincere and not Batiuk-style clout-chasing.
