When the robots had a Sunday strip, I felt empathy for them.

I do not feel empathy for this guy.

The strip doesn't even address the true terror: the smell...
I live in NC, and I know the pollen. My black car turns a lovely shade of yellow. But I don't know anything about the smell, because my allergies get so bad I can't smell anything.

Re: today’s crankshaft. You know Dinkle, it’s funny. I would imagine the reason why you didn’t sell many books is because everyone in your town of like 10 thousand people knows you and knows all your experiences, because you won’t shut the gently caress up about them. ‘Here’s my secret to selling band fundraising turkeys…’ ‘I don’t need to learn that, you loving strong arm me into buying one every single loving year!’

No one is buying a book they are the victim of

I get that the sentiment is supposed to be the husband being kind and understanding and saying she doesn't need to change, but it's undercut by how we've never seen this guy helping with any of the household chores or raising the kids. Though it's hard to tell whether dumping all the chores on the wife is just because the comic's from the 80s and it has outdated ideas, or if Lynn exaggerating how much work her self-insert does to garner sympathy.

Okay the thing is, in this age of social media and whatnot, your brand is how you are presented to others, and why they follow/pay attention to you. If you're just a blank slate, full of potential, why should I pay attention to that? You'll end up being something. Good for you. Of course Luann likely doesn't care about that, but that's the thing, you don't need to worry about your "brand" if you're not seeking popularity/views/interactions/etc.

Of course Luann also wants to be a writer so maybe she should start thinking about getting a brand. Why will people read the writing of a "blank slate"?

TL,DR: This plotline sucks, it's not funny, it's not leading to anything, nuke the site from orbit it's the only way to be sure, etc.

I mean, letter writing used to be a big deal when phone calls were still expensive and there was no such thing as the internet. Sitting down and writing back to all your various friends and family members used to be a thing people would absolutely set aside time for.

Yeah I meant it as "That's a neat look at a different time" not so much in a snarky way.

But still it feels to me a little old fashioned even for the 80s. I don't remember my mom writing a bunch of letters, but I might just not have seen that.

I do remember she always wanted me to write thank you notes for Christmas/birthday gifts and I hated it.

Also, keeping in touch with the extended family was considered part of the housewife's job (and is still something that women, generally, put more effort into than guys). That meant putting time in writing letters and on the phone.
