I rewatched the 1991 Addam’s Family movie at Halloween and I think it holds up pretty well. It’s funny how many nods to the Monster Rally strips there are. (Also how much they got out of Gomez and Morticia just being extremely horny for each other)

I saw the second one recently. I love how Morticia nearly always has one of those 50s(?) focus lights on her eyes.

It's bizarre to think that there's a comic themed around its cartoonishly goth protagonist, but it's actually like a propaganda piece about how bosses are our lord and master

While ago I had missed a payment (due to carelessness) and got a call from a collection agency. Afterwards I got a standard customer service feedback message: "Would you recommend us to your friends?"

"Oh yeah, hey buddy, stop paying your bills and a nice lady will call and ask if you need more time to handle it"

(that must be pretty depressing job if you are not a sadist)

My boss's son backed out on some package deal with a driving school, which then immediately sicced a collection agency on him. Cue my boss's wife googling them and pointing out all the one star reviews of the collection agency as proof they were thugs.

Like, sending a collection agency after someone after one day of missing payment is illegal (in the Netherlands at least) but are you really expecting positive reviews on a collection agency?

edit: I suppose people who hire them might be content. But they're going to be massively outnumbered every time.

When I was young, my father took our dog out and shot it so he wouldn't 'lose' him in the divorce. He said it took him a while to think over which of us he loved more and couldn't stand to lose. He picked the dog.

This was the 70s so the cops pretty much just wagged fingers at him and told him 'somebody could have gotten hurt, next time do it in the basement'.

But I don't like, LEAD with that when telling people about my childhood, so I can kinda understand burying that.

Jesus, how horrible. My sympathies.

I'm amused that there seemed to be no reason for Axa to lose her top again. It just seemed to be gone when she was thrown into the arena, like the artist got bored of not dotting nipples.

There's something haunting about the desperate faces of Foob characters, coupled with nearly every strip having at least one character spreading their hands, as if to say "nothing we do matters, every day is hell"

This may have been pointed out before, but Labradors are way bigger than that. Even when they're pups, they have big, thick paws and grow really fast.

I remember thinking it was strange that boat dude just died unceremoniously when their boat ran into those mermen and he jumped into the ocean to try and save Axa. I don't know if he would've turned out to be an rear end in a top hat, but he probably would've been an okay companion rather than Jason.

Axa just has the incredibly unfortunate habit of shacking up with assholes.

Who gave a strangely recurring habit of ending their lines in ellipses, like smouldering dime store romance novel guys, Axa...

Just attached to nerve endings, surely? They're stiff so that the sensation travels down the whisker to the nerves? Though I imagine cutting them would be very uncomfortable still. Note: I have never cut my cat's whiskers.

... so if I understand this correctly, Everett believes that wristwatches are so self-evidently feminine that any man wearing one should be a) addressed as 'her' , and b) beaten for doing so?

I really hope that Condo intended for this to be "look, Everett can be a piece of poo poo too".

I'm mainly puzzled on why Everett seems to think he needs to hit a woman with his umbrella. He seems to disapprove of even a woman wearing a wristwatch, cause if he wanted to ask the time, surely he'd... just... ask?

Also goddamn On The Fasttrack is awful because the boss never seems to get any comeuppance, at best Dethany just does things outside of her knowledge, like a cartoon mouse sneaking crumbs out of the kitchen.
