What the gently caress, Holbrook.

Also Tauhid Bondia is a name that I haven’t heard in a long while. Can’t recall what webcomic it was that he wrote though.

It’s kinda hosed up how closely Shannon’s artwork is to the “real life” Brad and Toni, but it is intended to be childish-looking. The Evanses are kinda shafted by their art style here.

I think this arc is interesting - and throwing some readers - because we're used to seeing A & J as cool, progressive people (which they are!) but here they're being parents, and specifically parents of a teenage boy, with all that implies. It seems Gene broke a couple of rules: he wasn't supposed to have been gone as long as he was, and he definitely wasn't supposed to be alone with a teenage girl. Gene tried to play it cool in front of Mary Lou ("I sort of come and go as I please") but, yeah, nope.

I think it's clear that they're not mad at Mary Lou; they're worried about her. And I think they're also worried about their kid falling for a pregnant girl who lives in another city and making her problems his own on a longer-term and more serious basis than one would as "just a friend," probably because they're both romantics and could see that happening to themselves at that age.

I mean, from where we're sitting now, we can see the irony, but that future is a long way from the summer of '97.

I think you pretty much nailed it. Like anyone, A&J thought they had a handle on things, and now they’ve been thrown for a loop. They’re being reactionary as a form of course correction.

One of the through lines of A&J is how much the pair has become more reserved and conservative from when they were younger. They both try to push against it in different ways, but they both have their own angst over age.

Dick Tracy team, have you ever noticed how Star Wars doesn't just cut to a shot of Darth Vader's unmasked face in the middle of The Empire Strikes Back, or how The Dark Knight avoids simply showing us upfront what Harvey Dent looks like after the fire, or how the Joker in Burton's Batman is revealed during a speech and steps out of the shadows right at the climax?

I feel terrible for old beardo here. He's so starved for attention and conversation in his marriage that he's taking any scrap of interest he can get from his students. No wonder he thinks this kid is charming and bright.

Also, these guys were presumably hired to film the normal show, but they don’t have any kind of tripod or hard camera setup. It’s going to be a shaky mess.

Then I remembered that this award mini-arc started with an implication that Bull or others were involved with a crime rape.

They're definitely fully clothed and 100% were not getting busy. Even if they smooched, it was not in such a way as to make anybody's hair, face, or clothing messy. There was zero reason, when Les got home, not to be like, "Hi Les, Luann's still here, we were chit-chatting." Or even just tell him you were boning. Who gives a gently caress?

What if his mom found out that he'd found a new woman in his life? Poor Gunther.
