I sometimes wonder how you train for pole vaulting. Seems like something you can't meaningfully work your way up.

Some Guy TT posted:I'm extremely irritated that this is basically the only time we've ever seen Ed express a sincere, spontaneous interest in physical fitness and his wife is making GBS threads all over him because she believes, simultaneously, that pole vaulting is disproportionately dangerous compared to other physical activities and also that it's a dumb sport for babies.

Murdstone posted:She needs a writer. These narration boxes are annoying. One thing I've been chewing on for a while: the bassigator is not a very good faux cryptid. They don't tend to be "two animals mashed together". Unless Rusty actually isn't into cryptids but into [/i]folksy tales[/i] like the jackalope or Jersey devil.

I think it makes more sense to keep spoiler tags reserved for the most outrageous holy-gently caress-that's-racist material, if that, rather than as a general "better safe than sorry" catch-all measure for anything that could possibly offend. Not as a value judgment, just in practical terms: if 9 times out of 10 the tags hide nothing worse than the phrase "cannibals in Africa" then I'm likely to think oh huh, it's not so shocking what's behind the spoilers, I can have a peek pretty much every time, and then when the 10th time it's a full on golliwog that's gonna be right in my face. e: a while ago I was at a boardgame exhibition and they had games from the time of colonialist Germany themed around travelling the world (i.e. the colonies), and they had content warnings on those too. But some were "just" colonialist in that captions referenced colonies and colonial trade and the illustrations depicted, by and large, relatively innocent-seeming common life scenes, while one was actively super racist with game events and illustrations centered around superstitious natives and their funny dances and what have you. They all had the same kind of warning on them, and I thought that was weird, that one wasn't categorized as worse than the other.

I always wanted to post Hagar from the beginning but could never be arsed to dig up a sorce. Read a ton of it as a kid, though, it was one of those strips that were marketed in book form on these shores, like Garfield and Peanuts.

Professor Wayne posted:I saw in a GBS thread, of all places, that Chris Browne of Hagar the Horrible recently died. Here's nice a write-up on him. Turns out the dude kind of rocked the Hagar look  Matter of fact, when Dik Browne played with his kids he'd often come roaring down the stairs in a mock rage and they'd scatter going "watch out, here comes Hagar the Terrible" and that's where we got the name if not the strip altogether.

I've become somewhat enamored with Scarlet O'Hara's weird Golden Age energy, particularly the fact that she seems to be a drifter with no agenda of her own apart from accidentally getting involved in things. She might as well be a ghost apart from the 2-3 perfunctory strips per arc where she is actually visible and it's kind of neat. e: O'Neil. Gosh, cultural priming, huh
