Pro tip: US Marines generally don't like to be called "soldiers", as traditionally the term refers to the Army. Still, they know the word has a broader meaning outside the service, so they generally won't be too offended when a civilian uses it. (Unless they're looking for a reason to pick a fight.)

Scary Go Round (September 22-25, 2003)

John Allison posted:

This was a tricky story to work on. Every time I thought I had tricked the readers, someone would guess what I was about to do, so I changed the story again. In the end I settled Natalie's fate on the toss of a coin, which may seem brutal, probably because it was.

The Natalie story was also another outing for Ryan Beckwith, a man whose grip on the rudiments of life is both slack in ill-informed. Living in depressing squalor well into his middle twenties, he is perhaps the most vulnerable character in Scary Go Round.

Naturally with a story of this type, it is hard to keep your chin up through-out the creative process. After nine weeks I was drinking six bottles of gin a day and had to stop. Fortunately for you (the reader), it finishes some thirty pages later!

This is not to say that your adventures with the gamine and delightful Natalie won't be full of philosophical French fun. Au contraire.

Do you see what I did there?

I took the kids to the Taylor Swift Eras concert movie last night, and we had a blast! I told them to wear whatever makes them happiest and the Girl showed up in a Halloween squirrel costume.; If you went to the Regal Cinema in Everett, WA and ended up with any of these bracelets, it was nice to meet you! If you love Taylor Swift and have a chance to go, GO! We danced in the aisles, sang our hearts out, and traded friendship bracelets for three hours. SO fun!

We’re getting reports of a kibble spill in the kitchen this morning! I may have thought the Tupperware container could hold more than it can… 😅🧡 Thankfully I found five volunteers to lend a paw! What a helpful crew! 🤣

This is such a terrible thing to say considering how Rudy has Domestication and it's treated as a disability/stand-in for being queer.

gently caress you, Lindesfarne.

The comic loves to pin all the blame on Angelique, but this specific thing was entirely Kevin's fault. Angelique wanted them to adopt a herbivore, but Kevin's the one who picked an insectivore from the orphanage. Kevin left the matter of feeding the insectivore baby to someone who had no experience hunting. When Angelique let out how much the difficulty of hunting insects was stressing her out, Kevin doesn't step up to help and their solution was to raise Lindesfarne as a plant-eater. Even when Angelique left them, Kevin still didn't think to tell his daughter he lied to her and she's actually an insectivore.

quote:

She was adopted by Kevin and Angelique Kindle as a baby and emigrated and naturalized to the United States. Angelique refused to feed her bugs, so she changed Lindesfarne to a vegetarian diet and had her reclassified as a porcupine.

quote:

Although traditionally classified in the now abandoned order Insectivora, hedgehogs are omnivorous. They feed on insects, snails, frogs and toads, snakes, bird eggs, carrion, mushrooms, grass roots, berries, melons and watermelons.[5]

As absolutely on target as you are about the commercialized world's mercenary nature when it comes to the weakest targets, it's an interesting direction to take a "moms' night out sharing of experiences" strip.
