Crankshaft just rocketing past all sensible objections after all. The last strip was literally Funky laughing in Dopey Pete's face about the idea of having free time. His poor socially entrapped fiancee is all smiles now. Mmm mmm, sunk cost fallacy.

amigolupus posted: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. The kid really is the third wheel in this plot. She only exists at all to provide a means for Keith and Kitty and reconnect. But her whole existence, and the reason why that existence is significant, is just being glossed over as no big deal. Even if we ignore the ethical question of why a woman wouldn't tell a man that she'd had his child, so far that kid's whole motivation has just been to play junior detective over her biological father and then get angry when she finds out that he's a cop, something that she somehow didn't already know when she already had enough information to find his new address. And I'm not at all sure how that angle of the plot is supposed to resolve short of her just arbitrarily deciding that his being a cop isn't so bad, since her mom thinks Keith is fuckable. Except that her mom thinking Keith is fuckable was literally the only thing she already knew about him before all this got started! edit: the only way I can think of for this to get worse is that the daughter contrived this entire situation to try and get her mother a boyfriend. Which is so stupid that I'm now halfway convinced that this is what's actually going to happen. Some Guy TT fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Dec 4, 2023 |

Professor Wayne posted:Pickles Okay, I cackled more at that than at any Pluggers joke. I've had those "gotta get around to it sometime" chores. That said, you have to write it down before you go to the store! A furnace filter needs to fit right. Flash Gordon There's a lot to love about this comic but what I keep noticing is how dynamic the trio is with each other. It's Flash's comic, he gets the spotlight, but the others aren't just doing nothing. Contrast with, say, Mandrake.

don Jaime posted:Could this, or Krazy’s gender fluidity in general, be influenced by Herriman’s passing as white? I’ve never seen a Krazy Kat strip where the kat changes color before. Harriman had some suspicions of his heritage, but it does not seem to have been something that was known within his family. quote:Herriman's ethnic heritage was unknown to his colleagues. Fellow cartoonist Tad Dorgan nicknamed him "the Greek", a label which stuck and was taken up by his biographers and the press, who called him the son of a Greek baker.[81] At other times, he was identified as French, Irish, and Turkish.[82] He told a friend that he was Creole, and speculated that he may have "Negro blood" in him, as he had "kinky hair".[2] The friend said that Herriman wore a hat to hide his hair,[81] which may have been an attempt to pass as white.[83] Herriman said that he dreamed of being reborn a Navajo.[82] On his death certificate, he was listed as "Caucasian",[74] and his daughter Mabel had his father's birthplace listed as Paris and his mother's as Alsace-Lorraine.[2] quote:Sociologist Arthur Asa Berger made Herriman's mixed-race heritage known in 1971. While researching for Herriman's entry for the Dictionary of American Biography, Berger discovered the cartoonist's race was listed as "colored" on his birth certificate obtained from the New Orleans Board of Health. The 1880 census for New Orleans listed his parents as "mulatto".[84 Interestingly, his very first recurring strip played into the 'passing' moral panic of the day. quote:His success with these syndicated strips convinced Herriman to give up on magazine submissions.[13] For the Pulitzer papers on February 16, 1902, he began his first strip that had a continuing character, Musical Mose. The strip featured an African-American musician who impersonated other ethnicities, only to suffer the consequences when discovered by his audience. He seems to have only made three Musical Mose strips before moving on. There will be other instances of playing with race in Krazy Kat. Also, interestingly: quote:In 2012, IDW began issuing a three-volume Baron Bean reprinting,[131] and Fantagraphics will release George Herriman's Stumble Inn.[132] Fantagraphics has also announced plans to collect the complete Krazy Kat dailies at an unspecified time.[130] Hippocrass fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Dec 4, 2023 |

You were not permitted to ask anyone to leave, your shift just extended late into the night until all the fuckers got out of the store. How did that work with overtime and whatnot? My first retail job the store was pretty consistently staffed, so overtime basically didn't happen. 2nd one, they made sure it didn't happen. I know home office doesn't like to be shown conflicts in their logic, and it probably didn't come up often, but if my store had to pay an hour of overtime to at least 1 person (manager usually salaried, so they don't count) questions would be raised.

Honestly, I'm not sure any of us were given enough hours to get overtime. Maybe some of the long-timers, but as a summer seasonal worker, I was min-wagers at 35 hours a week tops. I never had enough hours to get OT.

A day late due to circumstances, but it's the Christmas number of A Sketchy Life!

His poor socially entrapped fiancee is all smiles now. What's pathetic is that Crankshaft the character's reason for being here was to voice objections about this risky business venture. So not only did he steal what was supposed to be Mindy's role (because St. Lisa forbid a woman ever do anything in this comic), he didn't even do his loving job.
