But "lolz" isn't itself an acronym, it's a terrible Internet conjugation of the acronym for "laugh out loud." The hell does the Z stand for? Or maybe I'm not up to date with Muir's hip lingo, perhaps "LOLZ" stands for something else entirely. Probably about Zed. Or maybe he hosed up his own joke, who knows? Also, lolz or lulz is a (plurale tantum) noun, not a verb.

The joke would even run better if he just split up the first two parts like so, instead of giving Boehner a pointless extra line: Elephant: Congratulations Mr. Speaker. Here's a little token of our admiration. Boehner: A spine? (Of course, as noted, the best option would be to draw the spine recognizably in the first place.)

Wales Grey posted:I'm fairly certain Ramirez has never drawn a Martin B-12 for a political cartoon. In the cartoon you're thinking of, Ramirez drew a Boeing B-29 in exacting detail, even getting the arrangement of the glass panels on the nose correct. B-29s are what dropped the atomic bombs, B-10/12/13/14 is only really noteworthy for being the first mass-produced bomber the USAF used that was faster than contemporary USAF fighters. It didn't do much before being displaced by the B-17 and B-18, however. This is a great post

This was the entire Day By Day miscarriage storyline that people were talking about on the last page: May 9, 2011 ...then there was an unrelated strip hoping that Sarah Palin would run for president in 2012... May 11, 2011 ...then there were two unrelated strips about (1) Obama EPA regulations destroying the economy and (2) the Personal Localized Alerting Network proposal... May 14, 2011 ...then there were four unrelated strips about (1) Obama reading The Post-American World, (2) the Barnes v. Indiana court case, (3) further hope that Sarah Palin would run for president, and (4) Obama allegedly creating public-sector jobs and destroying private-sector jobs... May 19, 2011 ...then there were three unrelated strips about (1) liberals being racist against Herman Cain and Allen West, (2) Obama trying to destroy Israel by pushing for the 1967 borders, and (3) Sarah Palin sneaking in to Obama's Roman imperial court to threaten his reign as emperor. Then we reached the days-long "Sam and Jan getting drunk together" storyline, and only at the end of it do we realize they were drinking to forget the miscarriage: May 23-28, 2011 From there the strip went straight on to making fun of Anthony Weiner, complete with Sam accidentally sending a nude photo of herself to everyone she knows, and then the infamous "transparent dress at the opera" storyline.

Samurai Sanders posted:I had to look up "mitsuzukeru" and I guess it's to gaze at...but what? I googled for "o mi tsudzukeru" and found a bunch of transliterated anime lyrics containing the phrase "yume o mi tsudzukeru", which presumably should be "yume o mitsuzukeru" (literally "continue looking at that dream", but in English we would say "keep dreaming that dream"). Maybe Muir stumbled on that "o mi tsudzukeru" construction and thought it meant "continue doing [something]" because he didn't get that the "mi" part was supposed to be part of the verb, and he substituted "sore" ("that") in an attempt to have the mom say "continue doing that" (i.e. the breast pumping that Skye is sick of doing).

Gravel Gravy posted:I am guessing he means "dead to rights" which basically means "spot on" or in Cousin Vinny terms "dead-on balls accurate". Similarly, I think the "it calls it" means that the sign (identifying their location as the Double D Ranch) "calls it like it sees it", which then lets Muir do some poker call wordplay, but I was flummoxed by the abbreviated phrase "it calls it" at first. And I'm still not certain that I'm interpreting it right. For those confused by giving the ranch a name like "Double D", I should note that there's some cultural resonance to using "Double [some letter]" in ranch names because it describes what the cattle brand looks like. For example, beloved mid-20th-century singin' TV cowboy Roy Rogers had the "Double R Bar Ranch", whose name indicated that the cattle brand was two Rs together with a horizontal bar at the bottom:

"It's cold here in the states, Sam" -- a woman who has just arrived in Brewster County, Texas (where it got up to 69°F/21°C today) from Buenos Aires (where it's 79°F/26°C right now). Jan must be more temperature sensitive than I'd guessed. (Granted, it's colder in Brewster County at nighttime because that's how the desert works, but it's clearly daytime in that strip.)
