Powered Descent posted:Isn't Milo a little old for a car seat and sippy cup? He goes to school and does math homework. It's a booster seat. NHTSA recommends you keep a kid in one until they're big enough to fit in an adult seatbelt properly, which they suggest is between ages 8 and 12 but will vary from kid to kid depending on their size.

Just wanna take a moment to really appreciate the storytelling in Thimble Theater. The story is usually very predictable, you could honestly call Popeye the first shonen manga protagonist, he will go to a place on adventure meet a bad guy and punch him really hard. Here we see a lot of effort to really give some mystery and gravitas to the Sea Hag. I am also big enough to admit that's a very good Luann with a solid joke, understanding of SOME GIZMO and playful character dynamic. And speaking of laughs holy hell I'm loving Lil Abner. A LOVE PIRATE. JUDGE I DUN GONE TO SCHOOL, I BEEN IN THE SECOND GRADE FER NINE YEARS! A GUN! AT FIFTEEN! WELL SHUCKS I GOT A FISHIN' LICENSE. HMMM I STILL THINK LEM IS A GOOD FELLA AT HEART.

Doesn't need batteries, works anywhere, just toss it in the trunk along with a couple of liters of water and you can forget they're there until suddenly you need them. Might not have saved my rear end, but certainly made things easier a few times in my life.

Official Prediction (as a friend of mine often says): This Dustin stoyline is going to be a combination of sad (really explaining some of the 'whys' of Dustin) and infuriating (his lovely family not understanding or nourishing him at all) in equal parts.

The ending is either going to be a traditional feel good story (before immediately returning to the status quo) or Dustin just going "Hell yeah, I love being lazy" and the ghosts give up.

It would be genuinely funny if Dustin fell asleep in the middle of the visitations, so of course that won't happen.

Darthemed posted:It would be genuinely funny if Dustin fell asleep in the middle of the visitations, so of course that won't happen. It'd also require the writers to realize they've been writing Dustin with undiagnosed narcolepsy rather than just being vaguely "lazy". (I mean he is also portrayed as being lazy, but "falling asleep unintentionally at work" is different from napping on purpose, and he's been shown to do the former.)

Always hilarious when a comic strip makes fun of people who read comics, especially when the writer is a Boomer co-opting Dickens in order to justify constantly making GBS threads all over the lead character. Get hosed sideways with barbed wire, Kelley.

Yvonmukluk posted:Bad Machinery So I thought GoComics might have screwed up, since this takes place at the beginning of the comic in my collected edition, but a commentator on the GoComics site by the name of John Campbell (who may be the same person a Jim Campbell, who did the lettering on the early Steeple comics) set the record straight. John Campbell posted:This strip originally had a banner across the top reading “THREE WEEKS EARLIER”. The published version removed the banner, but moved the strip to where it fits chronologically in the story, between the strip where Sonny and Grandpa Joe look at the cursed scooter (which ran here on July 27th, 2023), and the next strip where the boys come back for it and find it gone (July 28th). GoComics, however, has the strip back where it originally appeared, but it’s still missing the banner that indicates that it’s a flashback, so it’s just generally confusing.

What makes this Dustin extra stupid is that Dustin is socially well adjusted. The strip demonstrates it constantly. He gets along well with his family(he loves and supports them, it's Ed who is Ed and his sister who is an acid-tongued rear end in a top hat), non-boss coworkers, big brothers to a random kid and always makes first approaches to ladies while out at bars with his best friend. What holds him back is that his author is an enormous shithead and he exists in a setting where people can smell the Designated Loser on him and are huge pieces of poo poo to him all the time. Of course his author is an enormous shithead so it's the holiday Dustin Is A Loser storyline but written poorly even for Dustin.

No one in Dustin has a personality, just whatever markers Kelley thinks the people in the punchline have. Dustin reads comics because that's a thing Kelley thinks rotten kids do. Dustin falls asleep because Kelley can't think of anything else slackers do at work. Dustin gets rejected by women because Kelley thinks women are a yardstick for a man's worth and not beings with individual wants and interests.
