I AM GRANDO posted:Why have I been on the edge of my seat for each day's Mary Worth post for days in a row now? I know in my heart that Wilbur is unlikely to be dead, but I have to know. Everyone's excited to see how they write their way into Wilbur not being dead.

Mr. Squishy posted:In a year, the strip will be called Mary Worth and Wilbur. Like Blondie, it'll be 95% about Wilbur eating sandwiches. I remember cutting my great grandma's grass growing up, and afterward I'd go sit with her. She always had me a diet sprite and we always watched Days of our Lives together, to the point that I scheduled my entire day around finishing up the grass around the time Days came on. She would sit and endlessly complain about how stupid the characters and the stories were, but she also spent the commercials filling me in on what I'd missed since the last time I was over. Anyway, when I woke up this morning I was prepared to support a thread death penalty for Mary Worth for bringing this stupid into my life, but ... upon reflection I guess being mad about it is at least half the fun.

Powered Descent posted:(For those who don't recognize the name, Art Frahm was a pin-up artist who, decades after his death, gained a bit of Internet fame for his slightly odd fetish. Namely, his favorite subject was a woman carrying grocery bags exactly like Daddy is here, so she don't have a free hand to pull up her underwear which has somehow fallen to her ankles. As far as I know, this link is what first brought Frahm to the Internet's attention -- it's very tame stuff by modern standards but I'm going to tag it lol quote:This one comes from Frahm's Hopper period.

Selachian posted:Forget '80s Flash Gordon, how many folks in this thread have any idea who Dobie Gillis was, or could recognize Maynard G. Krebs by sight? They were names I recall having heard in passing. If you'd asked me yesterday who Maynard G Krebs was, there's a 75% chance I would have said "Old TV character" and a 25% chance I would have guessed, "an under secretary of state from the 60s who did war crimes."

Powered Descent posted:And now I'm in that weird spot of being sad to hear that someone has died, even though it happened many years before I was even born. (Is there a word for that?) It goes in that same category of discovering from their obit a new artist or writer you end up loving. Like, "I'm glad we're both here now. I wish I had arrived sooner, and under different circumstances." Huxley fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Jan 19, 2022 |

I don't know if Ballard Street was capable of soaring to the same heights as "Bummer of a birthmark, Hal" or "Midvale School for the Gifted" But by god, I think the average Ballard Street might be just as good as the average Far Side.

Dad's got to have mom's back there, though. You can't be the parent swooping in to save the day once the other has made the call. Disagree all you want, but you have to take it up backstage and talk about how to handle it next time. You're much better off with a united front. One overblown (safe, normal) punishment isn't going to affect anything long-term, but showing the kid they can run to one parent for help when the other lays down the law is going to get really messy really quickly.

Presto posted:The dad made this exact argument just the other day when they punished Michael for missing his exit off the highway. Yeah, heh, I had already forgotten how that story ended. Having gone back, I now assume the comic is making my point ahead of me not just being pointlessly contradictory.

Powered Descent posted:When did subways stop using physical tokens? A couple of decades ago? It's interesting to see how the intersection of "has used a subway token," "could even begin to explain Bitcoin at the most basic level," overlaps with "the right age to have been posting on SA for 10+ years." e: Computoon is an arrow pointed directly at our hearts. Undisputed voice of the millennial generation.

There's an all-you-can-eat conveyor belt sushi place near us that not only survived the pandemic but expanded twice. I have absolutely no clue how. Maybe they're a secret mafia front like Long John Silvers/Mattress Firm.

Nostalgamus posted:Storm P I'm not usually an "I'm in this and I don't like it" guy but yeesh. I am horrible about being 2 minutes into small talk with a person I'll never see again and deciding to start divulging embarrassing information or going on long tangents by myself about like, Mary Worth or something. Reminds me of a tweet I read once along the lines of, "They haven't thought twice about the thing you said that you thought was awkward. They're thinking about the awkward thing you said that you didn't even clock."

Cool! I don't want to jump anyone's claim or anything, but A+J is the best comic here and we are midway through a ~lore~ storyline so I figured I'd pick it up a bit unless there's objections. Arlo and Janis       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassandra

I think it's easy to forget how wondrous and magical so much of the early internet was before Facebook/Google etc came along and decided what it was actually going to be. Your first time with a search engine, or a chat program, or RealPlayer really was like magic, probably a lot like what it felt like to see a light bulb for the first time as a teenager.
