Did they ever explain why Pru is sticking around? I thought she lived and worked in NYC.

I think she moved there full time because the people are so lovable and she gets to spend time with her friend's ex.

I like that the Sally Forth characters all work through and resolve their problems in a good, realistic fashion. In stark contrast to the Luann cast.

You seem to be under the impression that the Luann characters are ever wrong about their problems. They're perfect.

That's... I don't know, this comic just has a way of dialog that makes no sense. It seems that the author WANTS to tell a joke, or something resembling one. But has no idea of subtlely, art or nuance.

Wife: Here, standing husband, I will give you 10 dollars for no reason.
Daughter: I will take those ten dollars from you.

I think the inclusion of full keyboards on phones instead of the awful keypad texting from the 90's has made people able to type as well as they normally do.

They still use stupid internet slang, but nothing seen here. "b/c" maybe.

Any real person would just call it the Konami code, but no, Zakour thinks he has to show off his nerd cred and torpedo the joke by saying the whole sequence. "Konami code" is quick and to the point. You read it, you get it, you roll your eyes at the nerds and move on. Spelling out the whole sequence just makes you wonder how the hell this guy is supposed to have entered it into an ATM keypad.

It's infuriating because he thinks he has to explain the joke to people who don't get it, but he does so by explaining the wrong thing.


"See Roy, I told you entering the Konami Code wouldn't get you unlimited funds. The ATM is not Contra."

"I am a hideous manbaby."

I forget where FOOB takes place. Northern Ontario or Manitoba? If so he's absolutely right about there being no ideal seasons. The weather is basically frigid punctuated by horseflies.

It's strange. Winnipeg has been pretty much bug free this summer.

It's still super hot and humid, but I can live with that.
