Shouldn't he have known this before marrying her? Even if they were still dating, I think the fact that she has a company would come up.

TJ is being massively creepy with his "You guys are married now, so I know what you do with each other. Let me remind you at every turn" bit. Not only does he probably have cameras in the room but he will probably press his ear against the wall every time they're alone in there.

It's an edit. The original is '"Love is when two people who care for each other get confused." - Bob Schneider'. I have no idea what that means though.

The most amusing part of these Crankshaft crossovers is how the FW characters very pointedly never refer to him by name even though everybody in the main cast has had extensive interactions with him. But they either can't say the name or don't remember it. Y'know, the way self-involved assholes do.

Or maybe they're afraid of a Bloody Mary situation, and saying "Ed Crankshaft" out loud is all it'll take for him to rise out of his retirement home bed to give them cancer. Or at least an ulcer.

Mike is a grown man that must be reminded to brush his teeth. Sever the relationship, Skip. It's not worth it.

On an unrelated note, could someone help with the timeline of Funky Winkerbean and Crankshaft? They take place in the same universe but Crankshaft takes place today while FW takes place ten years from now? Do I have that right? Or does Crankshaft take place ten years ago while FW takes place today? It's just all so stupid.

The thing about when Gilchrist puts old comic characters in his strip is that it's just nostalgia bait. All he's doing is saying "hey, remember this?" and that's it. It's just lovely "reference humor" in that the :airquote:joke is just the reference and that's it.

I like the Calvin & Hobbes where he gets the beanie with the little propeller on top, after waiting weeks and imagining himself flying through the air. Of course he's extremely mad and disappointed when it doesn't make him fly but it turns out OK because he and Hobbes play with the box.

I guess the closest thing I have to that disappointment was when I ordered Sea Monkeys and finally got them. They're just brine shrimp. Boring. No, I didn't think they would wear clothes and read the paper in the water, but I figured they would be better than brine shrimp.

There are a lot of comics I really dislike, but I reserve a special hate for Dustin. I had a lot of difficulty finding a job after graduating college, and it was a very stressful and depressing situation. If my Dad had treated me with the contempt that Ed Kudlick shows his son I probably would have killed myself. It seriously makes me angry thinking about what a terrible father he is.

Dustin probably already feels like poo poo about not being able to find a permanent job and being able to move out. Boomer Dad doesn't need to pour acid on the wound any further, which is something Bitch Sister also does. Yeah, he's a real piece of poo poo who expects everybody to feel sorry for him when he can't put down the food to lose weight but has no sympathy for anybody else.

Does anybody know what Dustin has a college degree for, if any?
