Willo567 posted:I guess I just ask because, at least in my mind, Calvin hasn't done anything totally heinous. 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. a few of the ways in which he's a jerk kinda hit different when you're not also a kid/in the modern day/when you can see him as the mouthpiece for Waterson's views, imo but like... it's a comic strip, so basically everything Sultus Maximus said. viewing Calvin through the lens of "a six year old" at all is sort of approaching it from the wrong angle

Also he was randomly magic. And named 'Gunk'. the curtis wikipedia article (lol) says that gunk is an initialism for "Gladimus Umfred Nostradamus Klaustauvicke", so that's, a fun fact

theironjef posted:So I remember when Rose is Rose was first being discussed before being brought in there was a lot of discussion about it being unpleasant in a sort of 9 Chickweed Lane Way. Is that something that happens later? Right now it just seems to be an artist that can only draw ballet poses and untroubled people and if those two things cannot reach a punchline well gently caress you they're syndicated anyhow. it's never been anywhere near 9CWL levels of bad in its entire history. the original artist was just very obviously into fat women and there were some strips with the thinner Rose compared negatively to her larger mother, stuff about her needing to eat more/feeding her stuff, that gave off some seriously horny vibes (in that repressed Catholic way it does all emotions, anyway)

Zamboni Rodeo posted:"Confimistic"??? I had surgery earlier today and I'm on some good drugs right now so I'm stupider than usual, but what the gently caress is this even supposed to mean? At least I can make sense of Crankshaft's aphasic malapropisms.They're not funny, but they're understandable. This is just goddamn nonsense. it's a portmanteau of confident and optimistic it's also terrible, but that's expected from crankshaft

I had no idea it was a weekly strip with storylines and characters and stuff, I just saw it in the color funnies and was like "oh boy the cool animal facts comic " it was a better time

I feel like the landscape and the kind of games available on a tablet are different from the kind of things available on PCs in the early 90s, but also I learned to read and type extremely early, and I can only imagine the edutainment software I grew up with (from about 2, just like this kid) was a benefit in that regard parenting is complicated!
