This is the absolute best thread, and so much work goes into it from so many people. I'm just grateful. Thank you, posters!

Deduction of points for having a star inside the crescent moon, a thing I never noticed until someone pointed it out, and now it drives me insane every time I see it.

Absolutely brokenhearted at being unable to reach getseniorsonline.org this morning. Googling the phrase takes you to a Facebook group that has seen one update since 2013. The link off the group won't respond, and neither will going directly there.

I love you news paper comics thread. Where else on the same page can you get a quiet rumination on ageing, memory, and the endurance of women and also a fireworks barge blowing a police helicopter out of the sky.

I once bought a Jr Bacon for a dude sitting on a corner with my preschool-aged daughter in the car, and I received so much praise for it that I definitely recognize that, even years later, I'm more likely to do it when she's with me than when she isn't. So I reckon I get it.

JethroMcB posted:The other day I drafted a post criticizing Heathcliff, saying that it is a strip you can safely scroll past because, for as "crazy" as it is is, most of the time it's just something like Heathcliff and the kid watching a pug driving a Go-kart with a pug's face on the front, and the kid says "Pug-Kart." And that's it. Then, two weeks later, you'd see the exact same visual gag but now there would be two pugs driving and the caption would be "Go-Pugs." The strip isn't just lazy, it's repetitive. At least when they flipped the artwork, they flipped BACK the diplomas. e: actually, I don't think it's flipped! The therapist's leg and arm interact differently with the chair. I think completely redrawing it, but copy/pasting a punchline, almost loops back around to charming again. Huxley fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Jan 27, 2021 |

Green Intern posted:Imagine being married for 20+ years and still being so completely insecure with your spouse. The cool thing about being honest is, if you're willing to tell your partner, "You know I love you and how you look, but those pants do not flatter you at all, sorry," they'll actually believe you when you tell them they look nice! Like, not breaking it out every time they come down in PJ pants or whatever. But if they ask your opinion, it's safe to give it!

Also, notably, Jan 26 and Jan 28 were both, "The Cat Burglar strikes again." I think the gag may have gone double meta on us. Monday: Let's talk about robots. Tuesday: The cat burglar strikes again. (swinging rope) Wednesday: Let's talk about chihuahuas. Thursday: The can burglar strikes again. (helicopter escape) Friday: Let's talk about ham. Saturday: ???

Green Intern posted:My diabetic father in law still keeps bowls of candy around his house and loves to eat swedish fish by the handful in between meals of pasta and beer. The guy is too stubborn and fatalistic to actually eat healthier. So this little arc is basically real for me. My papa was that way, but he was also of the generation where he did no grocery shopping or pantry stocking. So between his house and my aunts' houses, he spent his last 15 years eating sugar-free diabetic candy everywhere he went without even knowing it. Granny probably squeezed another 5 years out of him. e: taking a moment today to reflect on the people working to keep me alive forever, and showing a little god drat gratitude.

FrumpleOrz posted:I still remember when the Tinkersons was considered a bad strip by most of the thread. It's nuts how that's shifted over time. It's probably one of my favorites now. I still think Tinkersons does the whole Community (the TV show) "Family are the people you are meanest to for some reason, and that's good and normal" schtick that drives me nuts. But I admit the alternative is probably a harder comic to write.

My preacher growing up was a HUGE Zits fan, and he hung at least two sermons a year on an anecdote from the strip. I know for a fact I've heard at least 2-3 that mentioned Chad, and it being the late 90s there wasn't a lot of resources for me to chase those strips down. In retrospect, it's pretty funny how small a throwaway gag the whole character is, relative to my imagination growing up.

Twelve by Pies posted:I didn't get this as a kid and I'm not ashamed to admit I still don't get it now. The boy frog is showing an appreciation of all the things that make girl frogs appealing, in reference to a lady frog who, to us, doesn't appear to have very many physical differences. It's ironic because the boy frog would probably not understand what a boy human sees different enough in a girl human to be worth all the trouble, either.

Manuel Calavera posted:Family Circus Tendales posted:What Until they were old enough to know the real names for things, somehow my girls came to call their bottoms their "butts" and their privates their "butt butts." I would imagine a family with a less permissive atmosphere would have shut that down in favor of something else, and those kids would be endlessly amused by the idea of getting to say butt so often. e: Oh god what a snipe. Also, discounting the discussion of what age is the right age to know the real names for things, which is obviously "it's OK to know the proper names for body parts right off the bat, because they're not bad parts and it's not bad to have them." But also, your kid saying "butt butt" is funny so you let it slide. Huxley fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Apr 9, 2021 |

What do you do someone tries walking out the door with a huge TV? Would that rise to actually calling the police? Just mark the time down and let surveillance cameras in the store and parking lot do the work? If the guys at Lowe's aren't allowed to physically confront me, what If I show up to the riding mowers outside with bolt cutters and a can of gas and try driving one off?
