I started keeping up with this thread last year so I am not privy to reruns. Snails is my kind of wacky gangster. :allears:

Hey I don't really do this but can I borrow your RV? I just had a major drain on my finances and I don't do this stuff anyway but I wanted to be in charge of a big expensive machine.

We aren't even polite neighbor friends and I do not trust you.

Come onnnnn.

Well OK. Let me tell you your responsibilities. Don't wreck my RV. I'll make you pay for it.

I will not wreck your RV.

I AM WRECKING YOUR RV!!!!!!! across 6 strips.

It is unusually insufferable for Sally Forth, I'll say that much.

Holy poo poo Snails might be the most ruthless guy in all of Tracydom. Did he recruit Sludge just to plant his body in the cab as a patsy? Did he just want somebody extra to kill? God drat. And that third panel in Dustin is a crime against comedy.

Keep running In Security to harvest pain from the thread tia.

The most amazing part of Snails' rampage is he did it without being seen by guys in a helicopter actively watching him. What a pro!

It's an integral part of the retail experience for management to act like the sky is falling to maintain low key dread at all times. But don't worry, you can fight the fear back if you just push the store credit card more frequently.

C&H has the parents cool down a little later on, especially in a weekly arc where Hobbes gets lost in the woods and Calvin's Mom actually calls for him by name. Stuff like Calvin's Dad spinning kid-friendly lies to yank Calvin's chain are great too. There's just a lot more "Calvin causes legitimate property damage" strips that'd make anyone stressful.

I'll forgive Luann if it becomes Tara and we just watch a sane person go around town telling idiots to get bent.

A cunning ploy. To prove Tara was quoting the professor's original hot air I would have to reread Luann and the author knows I won't do that.

I don't want anyone to miss Rex Morgan actually getting a sensible chuckle today. It soothes the rage from Luann.

This thread has honestly had a biiiiiit of a hair trigger lately as far as thinking that comic creators are gleefully malicious by including conflict in their stories. Not that the Evanses haven't unreasonably piled on Tiffany in the past, but we're clearly supposed to feel bad for her here, and a week of "Tiffany has a nice Thanksgiving with her dad" strips would be boring as sin.

A week of "Tiffany establishes respectful boundaries about her dad's abusive girlfriend" would work.

I think everyone feels bad for Tiff in spite of anything the Evanses planned because "abusive step parent" is a pretty wide net that hits deep in the gut. She's usually played for laughs, even her entry into a business program was after Bernie ratted out her side hustle and was portrayed as the decision of an excitable fool. I see your point but I think a traditional long running work would include some back and forth, hardships and growth, conflicts and resolutions. Aside from Luann's habit of never committing to any storyline long enough for a satisfying conclusion before cutting away to another, Tiffany has been in a downward spiral since exposing Ann's counterfeit lingerie sales. It'd be nice to see Tiff become roommates with her business economics friend and stop associating with people who hurt or tear her down.

In most stores adding new registers would be a matter of architecture and a remodel of the entire section.

So, a friend of mine at work and I were going looking through old animation studios from the 30s and 40s looking at random shorts, when I noticed that in 1936 Van Beuren Studios made three Toonerville Folks shorts. They're quite fun to watch when you know the characters! All three feature The Skipper and Powerful Katrinka, and two also feature the ever-tempermental Mr. Bang! These were some of the last shorts the studio made before their distributor, RKO pictures, dropped them for Disney and are quite well done!

At the end of the decade Working Daze spirals into a black hole, collapsing and winking out of existence. A good cartoon.
