Why not? Wasn't this a fishing trip for dudes to talk out their marital problems? I'd think on a trip like that you might find at least one or two dudes with marital problems.

Yes he's a total jerk to Susie and he's locked Rosalyn out of the house, plus I'm probably forgetting some stuff, but the way I've seen some people react on this forum to the comic he may as well have fed Susie her parents.

Speaking as a person who frequently wishes violence on the characters in the comics I post, we like to be dramatic in here.

Bats again.

Bats are an important part of the ecosystem and are having a rough time due to habitat loss and human fear and are actually pretty cool little dudes, but it's cool Jules. Keep telling us about how they all have rabies and are just out hunting for unsuspecting humans to infect.

(Yeah, they can carry rabies, so bat safety is important, especially if they're rolling around on the ground in the daytime like this one was, but this is the second character to TOTALLY GET RABIES FROM A BAT in the last couple of days (strip time) and it's a bit weird and alarmist.)

Mercury Hat posted:

Yeah, the average person isn't likely to encounter a bat unless A: it's out in daylight like this which would mean it's ill or B: there's an established colony in your house and one gets through to your living space. The latter is a big risk because bat bites are so small, you can't always tell if one's bitten you or another person while asleep. It's not always a "get rabies vaccines immediately" problem, but you should consult with a doctor if you come in contact with one (or any unexpected wildlife encounter, really).

Bats do have a higher risk of carrying rabies than some other animals in the United States, even if the inverse (most bats aren't rabid) is also true. https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/animals/bats/index.html

If this story beat where a man finds a bat in the daylight and gets bit was the first time we'd heard about bats in a good long while I'd have no beef with it. It's good to know not to mess around with bats. But we just came back from the hospital where a man, admittedly while being a dumbass, just got mauled by a bat colony. It's the multiple incidents in quick succession that makes it start to feel like Jules just loving hates bats. Like next week is a bat going to break into Professor Bee Sharp's house and turn him into a vampire? It's a bit much.

Basically the opposite advice that any bat or wildlife expert gives on what to do if you find a sick bat. Cool educational strip, Jules!

Luann


Ah, I see. The week of Bernice being an rear end in a top hat was so that when Gunther inevitably returned to stink up the place again the emotion we'd feel was relief.

Weakheart was Dinky Doodle's dog in another Walter Lantz series for the Bray Studio. The name was a rib on Strongheart (born Etzel von Oeringen), a German shepherd film star who preceded Rin Tin Tin by a few years.

I feel like just yelling "NO REALLY THIS IS TOTALLY STEAMBOAT WILLIE MICKEY AND NOT NORMAL MICKEY" without any other signifiers to differentiate him might not be enough to keep it in the public domain, but what do I know? I'm not a copyright lawyer.

Then again I enjoy timing myself with how fast I can get in and out of Costco. I need X, Y, Z, and some Q. I know usually where they are. Costco is not a 2-3 hour trip of exploring every aisle.

I used to want to get out of Costco ASAP when I was dragged along with my folks, but now I too am a Plugger and gotta go up and down all the aisles, just in case.

I don't know, maybe you should keep reading and then you'll find out.

If you ever feel like we get to hyper-critical about some of the hate reads in this thread, remember that the Go Comics readers are far, far, worse about theirs. Damning us with faint praise, I know.

The username bummed me out, but then I thought, "Yeah, he probably does shout his befuddlement to the world in general every time a plot development happens in a movie."

She made herself boring because Gunther was always whining whenever she wanted to do anything besides sit and watch TV. Now that she's sitting and watching TV he's whining about that. And somehow it's her fault.

I don't think the guy getting punched yesterday was Coach Kaz, but a different coach we don't know yet. (Kaz has earrings.) The guy who punched him is one of his players who was pissed off he didn't get enough play time.

He wanted to go gently caress around on the beach with his friends and all the courtiers following him around were cramping his style, so he gave the throne to the baby. He still has Thule as a backup throne.

It's hilarious that she's been getting paid for this snooping and meddling by working as that guy's model the whole time.

And even more hilarious that he's known the whole time that she's there to snoop and meddle but he's like, "She's got really good legs though."
