actually, has Dustin ever been nasty or unsupportive to anyone in his family? or at all?

I’m sure it has happened but in general he’s remarkably chill and nice to his surroundings considering how much spiteful poo poo he’s bombarded with for no discernible reason.

I'm neither, but I tried doing a little research. The wikipedia article on the peso does give some information, but only has pictures for the most recent series of banknotes which came out in the 2000's or so, while the Mexikid stories take place in the 1970's, so I don't know if the colors have changed.

Yeah I went to Wikipedia first and was shocked to learn that they didn't have a complete visual breakdown of 70's Mexican banknotes. But now I know, he was probably handing over fistfuls of 20s to his siblings for an uneven exchange of larger bills.


Lord help me, I laughed at a Luann, but probably not in the way they intended for me to laugh (Tiff's pitches in the middle panel are just so blunt and unoriginal.)

When my brother was about 4 years old we were visiting some people and he discovered 1) they had a "kegerator" (refrigerated keg) in their garage, and 2) he really liked the taste of beer. The end result was exactly this.

Some reading on the subject:
https://lithub.com/charles-dickens-really-really-hated-his-fanboy-hans-christian-andersen/

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/sep/10/charles-dickens-hans-christian-andersen-letters-correspondence-auction

quote:

On his return to Denmark, Andersen, noted for his social awkwardness, appears to have become a little obsessed with the dashing English author. For nine years he sent him regular fan letters, along with books for review. When the Dane came to stay in July 1857, it was not during a good time for Dickens, who was considering leaving his wife. His serialisation of Little Dorrit had not gone down well either and he was also feverishly rehearsing his acting role in Wilkie Collins’ The Frozen Deep.

For his part, Andersen found Gad’s Hill, in Higham, Dickens’s country home, too cold, a biographer has noted. And he was also upset that no one was available to shave him in the morning.

Soon his mood swings also became a problem. He lay down on the lawn and wept after receiving a bad review and then cried again when he finally left Gad’s Hill on 15 July.

Dickens was less glum on his guest’s departure, writing on the mirror in the guest room: “Hans Andersen slept in this room for five weeks — which seemed to the family AGES!” The author is already known to have written to his friend William Jerdan six days later complaining about Andersen’s oddness.

“Whenever he got to London, he got into wild entanglements of Cabs and Sherry, and never seemed to get out of them again until he came back here, and cut out paper into all sorts of patterns, and gathered the strangest little nosegays in the woods,” he wrote.

The correspondence between the pair died out soon afterwards. But the brief relationship may not have proved entirely fruitless. Some scholars have suggested that Andersen, later described by Dickens’s daughter Kate as “a bony bore”, could have inspired the character of the toadying Uriah Heep in David Copperfield.

At least since the 80s, and probably earlier, good guy(face) wrestlers made a significant amount of money from selling 8 x 10 pictures of themselves, especially if they were hot. Think Shawn Michaels, the Von Erich brothers, the Rock n Roll Express, prime Jeff Hardy, Jungle Boy.
Ok, so he may have been a more tough-guy face like Bruno Sanmarito, the Road Warriors, or Steve Austin. They still shared a locker room with the hot faces, and still sold photos. Unphotogenic Mick Foley still sold photos of himself.
