There's something very fitting about the first punch of Jules Rivera's tenure at Mark Trail is his own father. Symbolic, really.

It probably says something about where I am in my life that my reaction to the ongoing Sally Forth storyline isn't Poor Hilary and Faye, friends ripped apart by forces beyond their adolescent control!, but more So where are Faye and her mom moving to? Because apparently they aren't just downsizing to smaller quarters, but leaving town. That's a big undertaking; will this sale net them enough to cover moving expenses and deposits for wherever they end up? Are they moving in with family? What's the game plan here? I have so many annoying adult questions!

ukonvasara posted:That's not quite right: Funky Winkerbean jumped 10 years ahead of the contemporarily-set Crankshaft but didn't change anything else, resulting in a situation in which FW is set in the present, and Crankshaft is set 10 years earlier, in the present. It all makes perfect sense if you think hard enough abou-

Doomykins posted:Really surprised Val and Aleta don't kill each other to end the strip, they're up about 3 tragedies and a double digit body count on two trips to Misty Isles. It does make the upcoming relationship pretty intriguing since we've had modern Val Sundays in the thread. I'm really glad this stretch of classic Val is finally getting posted, because it's a wild ride.

Mikl posted:Edit: ^^ Mercury Hat posted:She says right there that it's bad luck if it's the same lot number, sheesh! Julet Esqu posted:Like really though! If we're complaining about annoying customer behavior it would make a lot more sense to have a customer insist they get all the same lot number (and call another store if they have to) because that's a thing that actually would happen! (And rightfully so. No-dye-lot yarn exists, but for the most part you really want to be sure those lot numbers match. I can see why it would be irritating for the employee who has to help, though.) I think the implication is that the customer is not only needy, but possibly mentally ill. I remember a customer who used to come in, invariably about 30 minutes before close, and she would want an associate to hand-hold her through a series of complicated orders and returns, with coupons and rewards, all the while telling you the no-filter story of the latest thing to go wrong in her life. It wasn't that she needed the stuff (hence the returns - there was always a return). She just wanted to be the center of someone's attention. It always made us sad, because we realized why she was doing, but it was also infuriating. Fighting Trousers fucked around with this message at 20:06 on May 16, 2021 |

Mikl posted:Also, adding my voice to the "adults living with parents" thing: over here (Italy) it's completely normal for adults to live with their parents until they get married, which coincides with moving into a home you share with your partner. Lately it's becoming more common for people to live together even before marriage (and it's becoming more common to not get married at all), but someone well into their thirties still living in their parents' home doesn't raise any eyebrows at all. Continuing "adult children at home" chat - it's also important to remember that's Ed's lovely attitude is ahistorical for the United States as well. Living in the family home until marriage was the norm here in the US until after WWII, and in fact continued to be the norm for most Americans well into the 60s and 70s, when (you guessed it) the Baby Boomers started to reach adulthood. And in their haste to go to college and get out of the homes of their Depression and war traumatized parents, a whole new social expectation was born.
