Julet Esqu posted:Hey, Ed. The man is just trying to do his job. Go gently caress yourself. Kelley probably thinks he's getting in sick burns on those drat idiot lazy millenials or whatever, but the actual audience probably mostly views Ed more like we do. quote:Ed Kudlick, Dustin's father, is an angry, bitter lawyer who despises Dustin's apparent laziness and is the strip's main antagonist. Ed is never supportive in any way, and always seeks to crush Dustin's attempts to find meaning and useful employment, ceaselessly mocking his son and putting him down, yet the only thing they have in common is their love of golf.

catlord posted:You know, I always assumed that the Noodle Incident was that report on the brain that he did. Watterson stated in the 10th anniversary book that other than that one allusion, there are no specifics about what the Noodle Incident actually was. Much like the particulars of Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooey, he felt it was better left to the readers' imaginations to fill in the blanks.

My Lovely Horse posted:I am in utter disbelief that I ever liked Garfield. Even as a kid. Yeah. I used to love Garfield and owned a ton of his books. Having revisited it via this thread, I cannot comprehend what it was that I found so humorous. I mean there's not even the baseline "huh huh, butts" level stuff that all kids tend to laugh at.

It may surprise you to learn this, but Brooke is a creepy weirdo with only the vaguest understanding of how actual living humans interact with one another in literally any way at all.

This came up in the politoons thread in D&D and I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me out: several years ago there was at least one Beetle Bailey edit that ended with the punchline of "you know we all died at Inchon, right?" or something very similar, but I can't for the life of me find it anywhere. If anyone still has it, I'd be appreciative if they'd post it. The original from which the edit was made was this:

That's one of them, thanks guys. I think there was a second that's a little more involved, but that'll do just fine.

Slammy posted:Feiffer (1973, click for big) In case anyone's wondering, this isn't just general satire but rather specifically aimed at Operation Homecoming, a glitzy, heavily-managed affair the Nixon administration ginned up to cash in on POW repatriation as much as they could. Returning POWs were very carefully handled and massaged to only speak positively of how the government had handled matters/the war, and those that didn't want to play along got sidelined and not put up in front of cameras. In a real sense, Nixon treated the whole affair as an ersatz victory parade for Vietnam and validation of his handling of the war.

goatface posted:It's an old thing people used to do. Probably to do with cooling it down faster. My Lovely Horse posted:It used to be done either to cool down hot drinks, or to remove grounds from coffee brewed without a filter. But it also makes me want to slap the saucer out of his hand, so I reckon it's mostly Chester Gould being really good at giving his villains quirks. This story is better than anything the current team can dream up. I wish Coffyhead had been in the movie. It was also thought to be uncouth behavior, and evidence of one's lower social standing. Orwell comments on it as a notable class marker in The Road to Wigan Pier.

Chuck Buried Treasure posted:She stopped him from doing some kind of war-related organizing/volunteering, but there's a strip where he says that he's past the age limit to enlist. I don't know what it was in 1917 but nowadays federal law says no one older than 42 can enlist and each branch sets their own limits lower than that--the US Army won't take anyone over 35 (normally, there's waivers and exceptions and stuff) and the Marines won't take anyone over 28. I think Everett's supposed to be well into middle age. The Selective Aervice Act of 1917 required all men 21 to 30 to register for the draft, which Congress modified in 1918 to 18 to 45, respectively. As to voluntary enlistments, those were governed by the 1916 National Defense Act, which similarly set the ceiling at 45, with a very few narrow exceptions allowable (largely for technical requirements the services might have trouble filling otherwise). I also don't much care for the Jingoistic True arc, as it's as considerable odds with the character as previously written.
