I truly don't want to be the one to defend Gilchrist on much of anything, but... that particular song was written in response to King's (and Bobby Kennedy's) assassination. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_I_Can_Dream Still, I don't know how many readers would know that if they weren't there at the time.

Manuel Calavera posted:That's literally it, yes. No other particular lasting reason has been given. Besides being vaguely "mean." I said this a bunch of threads ago (and I'm embarrassed that I even remember it) - but a whole bunch of years ago, Tiffany was actually written as a high school mean girl. She was shown as doing things like taking pictures of Luann in the locker room and posting them online; cheating and lying about her own accomplishments and those of others; bullying and belittling people she thought were competition; and other standard mean girl stuff. The fact that she hasn't been shown to do anything like that whatsoever since then, doesn't seem to have percolated into the author's brain. He's still punishing her for the stuff he wrote way long ago, and expecting readers to understand it. Bleah.

Simian_Prime posted:Confession time: When I was 8 I did this to my babysitter after reading the comic. Kids don't change. I babysat a group of hellions that did this to me over a decade before Watterson started writing C&H. Another pair of little jerks locked themselves in their parents' bedroom and took the extension phone off the hook so that I couldn't call for help. Of course there were a lot of kids who were no problem and actually nice to sit for, but the point is, some kids just don't have impulse control or any idea what the results of their behavior could be; they just think pranking the babysitter is funny. In that regard I think C&H hits the mark pretty well.

Actual things that might go wrong on this cruise: - Rogue wave hits, Mary overboard! Wilbur rushes home to interview her for his survivor stories or whatever it is he's doing. - Engine fire, ship disabled and the buffet runs out. - Everybody gets norovirus! - Guy in random couple caught smoking. Wife miffed. (It'll be that last one, b/c prime meddling opportunity.)

...and the pitch! posted:That will never be canon but it does make a lot more sense than they are just buddies. They do kind of present those strips like young parent strips. Something sticks in my mind that the strip has alluded to Dustin being the kid's Big Brother. Dustin as his dad makes a lot of sense, though.

Ghostlight posted:OH WOW SKIP I THOUGHT YOU WERE KIND OF A POINTLESS PIECE OF poo poo THIS WHOLE TIME I think that the writer expects us to remember a strip a long time ago where Gwen basically friendzones Skip and shuts him down with an "I don't date people at work." Wouldn't be the first/only writer to expect audiences to have that much recall (I'm looking at you, Evans and Batiuk) I wonder if it is ever a reasonable expectation. (As to why I do remember that strip, I have no idea, but I remember backstories for FW, LuAnn and JP and others too, so I'm not showing favorites here.)

Selachian posted:I am finding it very hard to imagine Dashiell Hammett, who was a high school dropout, ever using a sentence like "The writing begins when those story parts come together in my subconscious like some kind of colorful tapestry." (It gets darkly hilarious, although certainly not in the way Batiuk intended, when you know that Hammett struggled endlessly with writer's block for the last couple decades of his life.) Yeah, it is weird. It's a stitched-together quote from Barry Longyear's "Science Fiction Writer's Workshop - I: An Introduction to Fiction Mechanics." Except Longyear says "...like some kind of great puzzle." (Not "colorful tapestry.") (Chapter 8: Where to Start.)
