BlankIsBeautiful posted:RE teachatte, I'm a coffee drinker, and only drink tea when I'm out of coffee. However, several years ago, my sister in law (who is Malaysian) left a "box" of tea at the place we spend some summer weekends at. We had no coffee at the time, and so I decided I'd drink that in place. The tea was in little paper envelopes, and I judged each "envelope" would make one pot. I believe it was oolong, but the box, and envelopes, were basically covered in Asian text, so I honestly had no idea what I was drinking. Regardless, I made a pot. Holy loving poo poo did that stuff have a kick! I was vibrating like a loving tuning fork! Usually tea (for some unknown reason) has barely an effect on me, but this stuff was like crack. I did like its sort of "smokey" flavor too. Alas, over a period of several weekends, I drank it all, and never found out what it was exactly. I would love to have some more. That might have been lapsang souchong, but that's not "sort of" a smoky flavor, it's usually an unmistakably strong smoke flavor. Keemun often has a subtle smokiness to it, and is closer to oolongs in flavor. If you're feeling particularly daring, get yourself a little pu-erh; some people like it, but the only pu-erh I've had tasted like old shellfish that had been dug up from a bog.

BlankIsBeautiful posted:What the gently caress is wrong with these people? Are they brain damaged or something? "Rose is Rose" takes place in a universe where the worst thing that can possibly happen, ever, is garlic breath. It's so fundamentally divorced from reality that everything in it rings false to a healthy-minded reader. If "Oh Baby" is a war crime, then "Rose is Rose" collections are WMDs, and anyone purchasing them should be prosecuted commensurately.

Aardmania posted:9 Chickweed Lane Is this overblown poo poo still in newspapers, and, if so, how. No one knows what is going on in this strip. Everyone in it is ugly, brain-damaged, or both (usually both). There have been multiple storylines involving Nazis, because apparently we all traveled seventy years back in time and that crumb-bum Hitler still needs to be knocked down a peg. This one is actually better than average, partly because there's no awful dialogue, and partly because it looks like someone is holding a gun on a small, surprised puppet in the first panel. In conclusion, Brooke McEldowney is a weird old man and probably smells.

Also when I volunteered at a hospital, I was made to watch a video that was basically that Mary Worth cartoon except the scenario was bookended by "DON'T EVER DO THIS, YOU WILL BE KILLED AND FED TO HIGHLY-PAID LAWYERS" notices in huge red letters. I guess VCRs are too new a technology for Maryworld. Still, at least they're not wearing frigging nurses' caps a la Frank Bolle.

"Emmy Lou" was created by a woman (Marty Links) who just plain stunk at drawing human beings. I mean, ha ha, yeah they're gawky teenage girls, I get it, but there's a limit. Everybody's got gross stump arms and crazy spindle legs attached at random points to a ketchup-bottle-shaped torso, their crudely scribbled bodies only made even more jarring by the neat, confident lines of the furnishings.  e: Great, I'm literally Comic Book Guy saying the penciling is sub-Ziggy and the main character is off-model in every frame.
