This is beautiful. It's so much fun to see a white guy try to awkwardly stand up for the legacy of MLK and not bring up anything potentially racist. "Umm, yeah, his birthday isn't always on a Monday. Legitimate complaint."

I always felt this strip walked a bit too close to the line of "Is Hobbes real?" It's supposed to be open-ended and up for interpretation, as Watterson intended. And while Calvin could have easily made that (he shows a lot of potential for sculpture with his snowmen), he is adamant he didn't make that tiger. So either Hobbes is real or Calvin has some clear issues to work through. This comment brought to you by Thinking Too Hard About Calvin & Hobbes

root posted:Oh yeah... I'd forgotten how he'd won Rosa's heart by accidentally hitting some guy with his backpack. Gunther exists in a sort of sine wave of character development. Everything about him shows him to be a whiny, uninteresting little poo poo with no backbone, and the comic puts this front and center until the Evanses realize they've done nothing but poo poo on him for a while so they throw him a bone, either out of pity or some failed attempt at developing his character beyond that (and yet always revert back).

Celebrity Ghost posted:Rand is Rand This is inspired. And you know Evans just used Tripadvisor to find touristy things slightly further down the list to sound marginally more legitimate. I hate when people get all uppity about doing touristy things while on a trip. I live right next to Disneyland, and if you wanted to do non-touristy things here your options are "wait in line for a donut at 9:00 pm" or "visit a hipster food court".

Evil Mastermind posted:Working Daze is...uh, what? Wow. It's like they are going for a world record of missing a joke here. If you don't get the reference, then the Google reps are just robot things. This is not funny. If you do get the reference, then Google reps are being compared to space Nazis. Has Google done anything recently to deserve being compared to a space Nazi? No? Then there is no joke and this is not funny. We are left with two options: 1. The entire "joke" is a reference to a nerd thing. But unlike even low-brow nerd reference humor like Big Bang Theory or even this very strip at times, there's no attempt to make it clever or relevant. Like if they were security or Comcast representatives or something where the common understanding was they are unhelpful or unfriendly, then at least you are making your reference relevant, even if it's not funny. 2. The idea of a Google rep being a space Nazi is based off a specific experience, either by that of the writer or from a story he heard. This lacks universality and makes the joke even more confusing, because it's a personal reference that can only be understood once it's explained, and explanation is typically a joke killer. So congratulations Working Daze. You made yourself so unnecessarily esoteric that when asked to tell a joke you effectively shouted the name of a TV show and smiled expectantly.

Title Guy's Luann titles remind me of the bad pun teasers at the end of the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons. So I'm guessing this guy grew up with Rocky and Bullwinkle in its original run and is therefore retired and has nothing better to do with his time or grew up with the show on Cartoon Network like I did and is therefore my age and therefore frighteningly enthusiastic about those daily titles. Then again I spend parts of my day getting angry at a goddamned comic strip for being so terrible so who am I to judge?

Simian_Prime posted:Anyone else willing to send pics of Intelligent Life to Seth MacFarland and hope Reddick gets a C&D letter sent to him? MacFarlane himself has basically said his whole style was aped from Hannah-Barbara (whom he worked with for a number of years) which was created due to the necessities of cheap animation. Since its been posted here, Riddick also seems to have slowly slimmed Skip down and adjusted the shapes of faces. It's still similar, but unfortunately not enough to warrant legal action. It's content though...maybe we can get him tried for crimes against humanity.

So is it confirmed that Fred Basset is intended solely for very, very old people who see a picture of a cartoon dog and are satisfied with their enjoyment. It isn't humorous or absurdist or cute or...anything. It is a nothing strip and it baffles me to no end.

It's a verbal contract with no goods involved. The payback timeline can be reasonably inferred without needing to be stated. Use of white Monopoly money is not reasonable substitute and is evidence of breach of contract. (Studying for the CPA exam has broken my brain. I don't even know if what I said is accurate anymore)
