Libby is definitely sending nightmares to Estelle. That's a cat power we don't talk about.

Oprah is responsible for Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil, so maybe suing her for things is the right course of action.

See you in the funny pages (but not in, like, a mean or dismissive way)

I am curious to see how the strip handles this since she *does* take a lot of inspiration from real-life happenings.

"We saw this drunk jackass fall off the boat. That was about 20 miles behind us, so it's best to assume he got eaten by a shark."

Cruise ships are required too be equipped with a minimum of two rescue boats, however, said boats only move at 6 knots, much slower than the cruise ship (~20 knots as mentioned a few pages back), so I assume turning the ship around to get to Wilbur's approximate location then using the rescue boats to find and rescue him is relatively normal operation.

Not that it matters, assuming he survived a multiple story fall into the water, can tread water for a good hour, and didn't get eaten by sharks, they're still trying to find a needle in a haystack.

I'd rather read a random Jaimes Nancy than a random Gilchrist one, but reading it every day ain't great. Sunday strips are usually pretty clever, though.

$400 in 1975 is roughly $2100 in 2022.

In-state tuition at Auburn this year is $12 grand.

Universities of California were free for residents until 1966.

I'll give you three guesses who was governor at that time, but two don't count.

They really found the most perfunctory way to wrap up that Luann storyline, didn't they?

"Oh wait this dog is missing!" "Oh wait it's Luann's dog! Guess that solves that."

Writer got bored QUICK with that one.

I did appreciate the gag at the end, though.

To be fair to Beeman, that horny old crank, before Regan and Co. started tearing the tax code to shreds there were a lot more tax brackets that scaled to significantly higher rates than anybody pays today. Here's the tax brackets for calendar year 1959 - seems to me that if you were sitting at the high end of a bracket and you got a modest raise, your tax rate could jump enough that it would not only negate the raise itself but eat into your previous take-home amount.

Barring some extremely specific circumstances (e.g. you use a means-tested tax deduction or credit you'd lose access to making more money), no this is not how tax brackets work.

You know, I think I always assumed Toby was Ian's student at some point but I don't know if that's ever been established.

There are two types of driving dads: road trip adventurers and max-efficiency death-marchers.

Mine was the latter. 14 hour days with breaks for gas and meals and that was about it unless there was a very specific site to see. If we were lucky, we'd at least take a scenic route rather than a highway.

I played a loooooooot of Game Boy.

I'm very much inclined to that. I tried to enforce a strict "no liquids 1 hour before departure; no drinks in the car" rule but gave up when I caught everyone sneaking behind my back. Three girls, we just pee whenever someone yells and every hour in the car takes 90 minutes. It's torture, but only on me so whatever.

My mom's dad took them on a cross-country tour to the west coast full of 10-12 hour days in the car and literally yelled, "the grand canyon is about an hour that way, if we were going!" and just kept on trucking. It's not a happy memory for her, so I try to have some give.

Mine wasn't quite that bad, but also I was a grumpy kid and probably wouldn't have appreciated the Grand Canyon had we gone that way. I didn't appreciate the Badlands back then.

I had a roommate who would only use paper plates so that he wouldn't have to clean. Personally, I found it kind of childish and dumb.

Every Reddit food sub is like dozens of pictures of incredible-looking food that clearly took a good amount of effort to make, served on a paper plate. I don't get it.
