Green Intern posted:This shouldn’t be such a big deal. The car wasn’t damaged. Michael was clearly upset that he got lost and was late. Foobdad just has awful boomer parenting skills. Ah well you see, the dad is angry, and his anger is justified and valid. Michael is afraid, upset, and ashamed, which are defects in character and invalid. Honest mistake? New driver's inexperience? All excuses, totally avoidable if Michael had not been a willfully disobedient boy. It's possible that in the next few days of strips the dad will see the error of his ways here, but we've seen enough instances of the kids and parents being upset at each other in FOOB with no resolution or reconciliation (just someone staring frazzled into the middle distance with the strip's punchline in their though bubble as the other person walks away) that I don't have my hopes up.

Hostile V posted:Honestly I'm just glad that Tombat didn't decide to shout to the heavens and papers of record "I AM GOING TO DO SOMETHING IMPORTANT! THERE SHALL BE...A TRANS!" This just has the same weight and interest of Disney's fifteenth first queer character. I'm not sure whose wish it is but I can feel the finger on a monkey's paw curling inward.

Can we start a petition to bring back staring into the camera with an upset squiggly line mouth in place of the constant Funky Smirking?

CommonShore posted:explain the most recent one It seems likely that, given the title of the strip and the 1939 copyright date, the reaction that we are seeing from the mother is one typical of mothers in 1909. To an audience in 1939, this reaction would seem quaint or anachronistic. The "Born 30 Years Too Soon" strips aren't nonsense. They rely on a set of cultural cachet that is extremely foreign to us here, eighty years after the strip's publication. They are nostalgia for a time in which none of us were alive, from a time in which none of us were alive. We can find this curious and strange, but to write it off as the strip's "bazinga" does the strip a disservice.

I enjoy Out Our Way and am glad it gets posted. It's an interesting view at a time that's so very foreign to us, an era of Americana that isn't as fetishized as later decades would become. Occasionally not understanding it is a small price to pay for a glimpse into a forgotten time.

Definitely keep on posting what you post. If there's something I really don't like I can just keep scrolling, and sometimes stuff that I ignored will catch my eye and I'll become a loyal follower of it.
