Has the overwhelmingly negative reaction caused the Evanses to rethink the whole 9/11 wedding thing?

As someone with a firefighter buddy, I can tell you that the captain denying vacation time is pure horseshit. My friend can routinely string together a month off every year because of the way their schedules work; you're on for 24 hours, off for 48. On the ninth or tenth cycle, you're off for the 24 you're supposed to be on. But you can trade days with other firefighters and stack massive amounts of time off with no one batting an eye. And on way less notice than what Brad and Toni are giving.

The stakes for this comic are always so drat low; how does it engender more rage in me than all the others combined? :bang:

Karen Evans: Eight months lead time isn't enough for wedding strips.
Greg Evans: Why not just give some bullshit reason to push it back another two months?
K: Perfect! Now we can do some back story on Piro's hair cut, too.

Do you seriously not know the directions to the place where you work? Is that how you start the commute every day? Is something like take route # in <direction> too difficult? Maybe it's different in America but I have NEVER seen a mall that didn't have huge signs and billboards directing you when you get to the closest off ramp or intersections.

I am angry. Angry about lovely comics.

Maybe if the caller had been kind enough to offer his starting point instead of requesting vague direction-finding, poor Donny could give a more satisfying answer. :colbert:

Heading into a new story this week, we peer into the alternate universe where video game arcades haven't vanished. Anyone know of any around that aren't a Dave and Buster's?

According to the primary source above, there is one called GameKablam. :colbert:

Is...is there a reason that Reno fact is noteworthy? Is it a thing in pop culture that Reno is West of L.A.?

It blew my mind.

Wait until you hear that people on the west coast have to fly east to travel to the Gal�pagos Islands.

But... but not south, right? :magical:

Speaking of, here's a blog post from the new Phantom artist, Mike Manley. Should be interesting to see if he ever gets Judge Parker and Phantom mixed up..

Can you let someone else take over Intelligent Life so I can block you and all the rest of the comics you decided to test out this week?

I know, but there's still no way a kid's going to ask for seafood instead of a steak or a burger or pizza though.

Gil lives in Rhode Island on a diet of microwaveable meals served to him by a single mom. You think that kid doesn't eat burgers and pizza six nights a week? Some fried shrimp is probably all he lives for.

Didn't Bernice seek out Tiffany's help for a makeover - and didn't Tiffany do it?

Yes. Yes she did:

Tell me again how this is selfish and manipulative?

...his thought balloon in the last panel is literally the text we see right on the window.

That's some good writing, that is.

e: that short sci-fi movie written by predictive text software has more natural dialog than this comic.

Just a reminder that this comic has been running for over three months and the only thing to happen is the main character got up and walked to work.

Anyways, for the record. I would hate to lose Joe Giella as the artist because the kind of crappy art of MW is part of what I like about it.

Mary Worth

Just a reminder that this is a 19-year-old college student.

There are, but that's not an ATM. That's a pneumatic tube for a drive through. There are drive-up ATMs, but I don't know of any that use those tubes.

Try living in 1986 like the rest of us. :smug:

Gonna double up today and tomorrow, as I go on vacation after that for a week. Sorry to go on hiatus so soon after starting, it's just I really hate Fort Knox.
