Does this mean Rene will wake up and not be a con artist anymore? Being hit by a bus meant the little girl lost her genius.

The Flash Gordon reminds me of that goon Photoshop of Jane's World where one of the girls went back on a time-jump to try and save some historical hottie and ended up with her time-machine destroyed, which rippled through reality and wrecked a bunch of stuff. It was actually done really well and with just the comic panels out of order.

My cat Autolycus passed away today, a nine-year-old clown prince who had baseball mitts for paws and made friends with everyone he met. He had advanced kidney disease but was a fighter; he lived three years longer than anyone thought he would. Last month before Christmas he relapsed and my wife and I turned our home into a cat hospice. His vet gave him three days and he grabbed three weeks instead, and we made those three weeks as comfortable for him as possible. He was himself right up to the end, which came mercifully quickly when it did. We love the little guy, always will, and miss him terribly, achingly, completely.

I've had a very long day involving a lot of veterinary logistics and crying, and just now checked SA.

Oh, Lupin.

I concur, if you are shopping with another person, and they're up to play Dora the Explorer up and down the aisles, it is a fun time. Hitting a reptile show pre-Covid with my mom was fun. Hitting any other store was hell because she'd want to check half the aisles no matter where we were.

Then again we know how it would play out with Dustin and Ed.

Val: I mean on one hand I want to do more killing.

Flash Gordon is pretty drat amazing but yeah, stupid as gently caress to leave your angry drunk brother who thinks the throne is his alive and free.

edit: best thing to do is kill him, of course, but Good Guys don't do that. so find him some nice island with a ton of sexy servants/guards and whatever he wants, alcohol, games, etc, and give him a life of leisure so he never wants to leave it.

I'm not sure what Angelique did to deserve such a meanspirited and weirdly personal punishment. Kell's the one who made a deal with RL for her own financial gain, which she immediately reneged on to rat him out to the authorities. Angelique both doesn't know and doesn't care that Kell double-crossed her husband. I'd understand the extent of the Good Guys' actions if Angelique was targeting rabbits out of vengeance, but hers was purely just an impersonal decision made for the sake of profit.


because she is a Bad Person unlike Perfect Kell and her family. And she is married to Bad Dude who does the same poo poo Kell does. And she used to be a rabbit and is now a mouse which makes her bad too, I guess, especially when Bruno went from dog/wolf to sheep and everyone good accepts him.

I imagine Kell's company also hunts rabbits but, you know, Holbrook.

That's pretty forward of Val to say that. Especially for fiction written in the late 50's/early 60's about a medieval prince.

I'm really enjoying Vintage Valiant. I had had no contact whatsoever with this character and Foster's work until I started to pay attention to these threads and I thank you for that.

i think Val has realized by now sometimes you can't overkill on your problems.

Jughead remains the GOAT.

And hahaha yea for K and K, abusing and loving with someone they know! That is illegal, and they are guilty also because that is totally against how prey animals can defend themselves! And predators like Kell can't try to kill someone they know, like Angelique!

Also, lots of animals are not straight rear end vegans. My mice eat all kinds of poo poo, including veges like carrots and lettuce. Deer and horses can and do eat baby mice. If this was a recent story, I'd be tempted (no I will not touch the DNA poop) to email Holbrook and ask why he's anti-trans in regards to Angelique but if anyone calls Bruno a wolf (note, just calls, doesn't rip his fur off or try to steal his ruminant stomachs), they must be punished!

Guys, maybe we look at Holbrook wrong. Maybe he's actually being held prisoner by some of his characters, like Kell and Dethany( FROM ON THE FASTRACK) or that annoying Lindesfarne/Samantha and they force him to make three strips every day, all day, if he wants a drink of water.

Every night he begs for some good reader to read the HELP ME symbols he's crammed into the comics, into every other comic not to rouse suspicion.

lol, and while I'm at it, lmao to say that it takes any "skill" or "experience" to be a retail manager like Josh.

if anything Josh would be promoted to assistant manager, and then manager at the next new opening, not because he is good at his job, but, Lesson of Life, he has sucked up to the DM and is a good simp to him.

had Retail not ended, at some point he would have become DM over Marla while Stuart moved up in corporate. unless Josh got there first.

it was probably different it being Japan and pre 2004, but when I nannied and the baby needed formula, it took like 2 minutes to make the poo poo up, and that includes shaking the poo poo up. Thawing frozen breastmilk took longer. And sometimes when mom was home to nurse, it took the longest because the baby couldn't get comfy, kept getting distracted, etc.

But of course WAR has the stance that breast is the only good thing.

and what kind of mom would our protag be if she didn't judge her because "she didn't even try to watch my baby for me" and "formula takes so long to make?" and "everyone else was breastfeeding?" Like good moms should! Feels like something FOOB Mom would mutter under her breath.

I shouldn't be so hard on her. At least she's actually at the doctor, even if she will write off most of what she's told because "mom knows best." And yeah doctors get it wrong, they're not perfect, but after Covid, and gently caress, even before, the surge of anti-vax when it comes to measles and mumps because "vaccines cause autism!" bullshit, I have low tolerance for it. Just as my coworker blames the Covid vaccine for another coworker getting Covid; never mind he never masks and is a loving Uber driver and has had a cough/hacking up his lungs for weeks.

Breast is not best, formula is not best, FED IS BEST.





on the other hand, double ugh to Mary Worth. He's really going to get a paternity test swap done on a can of root beer, isn't he.
