      If Becky’s a furry, that adds a whole new dimension to her awkward journey of self discovery.

                  Seems that about half of these assume that you’re using too many blankets. And another one assumes you’re sharing your bed with a loved one. And another one assumes that you PJ up strangely early.

                  I’ll give it the twisted shirt thing though. I have specific processes in place just to avoid that.

            I just remembered that Lana’s mom called it “sky clad” in a recent episode of Archer.

            Then I remembered Keith David and the writers in that same episode for the slick, non-obscene reference to a Mantan Moreland dick joke.

        Buuuuuuuut Becky has seen just as much Hymmel as Joyce, and you just know that Joyce spent a decent time of their childhood gushing about that cute little mouse boy. I just wait for Becky to go “…you look kinda familiar” followed by an epic FREAKOUT from both Joyce and Walky.

          Generally speaking, I agree with you wholeheartedly.

          But, I’m going to give Jason a pass here anyhow. He saw her home safely (despite having to practically drag her there) and offered to help her into get into her bunk (although Sal declined). Their relationship is pretty volatile, so I don’t think it’s fair to expect much more than that from him.

    I’m not sure I understand Becky’s dialogue. Is she saying there was a D&MM character that was a sensitive person with clairvoyant powers (so like, an emotion scanner?), who was hardcore? Okay, I guess that makes sense, it’s a person with empathetic powers who is not necessarily a sweet and empathetic person. Is that referencing something specific from IW! or is it just a random trope-y thing that Willis randomly decided on to give Becky dialogue in that panel?

    Becky is still holding a torch for Chastity Churchmouse. Dream on Becky – you will find that key one day.

    Jason, the least you could have done was to put Sal back in her chair. Poor girl could have used a nights sleep.

          Arikel is implying that only rebellious counterculture teenagers would describe themselves as being pagan. Of course, this isn’t really true. That said, though, paganism isn’t one religion but a whole bunch of not really related at all religions, so someone who actually belongs to one of them probably wouldn’t just say that they’re “pagan.”

          • Urukak
            Urukak
            March 24, 2015 at 1:24 pm | #

            To elaborate, paganism today essentially means “anything that’s not Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or I guess Shintoism.” Of course, this is actually more specific than its meaning in ancient times, which is just “anything that’s not Judaism.”

              http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_paganism is what you’re thinking of.
              Modern/Neo paganism specifically refers to modern representations of historical European religious cultures, and as such ‘Pagan’ in this day and age tends to refer specifically to that.
              But, even so, you’re nevertheless right- to quote the linked article: “Although they do share commonalities, contemporary Pagan religious movements are diverse and no single set of beliefs, practices, or texts are shared by them all.”

              Which, of course, is why they’re so associated with ‘the rebellious teenage counterculture’- Choose Your Own Paganism has its appeal in that regard.

              So, to summarize, since these modern religious cultures aren’t based on any firm singular historical faith, everyone I’ve ever met that adheres to some form of Neo-Paganism does indeed refer to themselves as ‘Pagan’.

              This is NOT true for people who follow contemporary/non-European Pagan religions- of which, as you noted, basically every major non-Abrahamic religion falls under.

NEW: “Former LA Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Plead Guilty to Threatening to Bomb City Hall Last Year” Sounds like the deputy mayor called in a fake bomb threat in an attempt to set up pro-Palestine organizers. Wonder what the city attorney's role is in all of this: www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr...
Former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Agrees to Plead Guilty to Threatening to Bomb L.A. City Hall Last Year
Approximately 10 minutes later, Williams sent a text message to the Los Angeles Mayor and several high-ranking city officials in the Mayor’s office and falsely reported, “Bomb threat: I received phone call on my city cell at 10:48 am this morning. The male caller stated that ‘he was tired of the city support of Israel, and he has decided to place a bomb in City Hall. It might be in the rotunda.’ I immediately contacted the chief of staff of LAPD, they are going to send a number of officers over to do a search of the building and to determine if anyone else received a threat.” In fact, Williams had not received such a call.

Excerpt from a Comicsbeat article by E.B. Hutchins about Alex Graham's racist ass comic:  

Is there somewhere in this article where I could talk about the very real feeling of jealousy and how it can make even the nicest people into assholes? No, that’s not this article. It’s not this article because we’ve let appealing to white people’s comfort get in the way of progress to the point where our culture, democracy, and future is at stake. Appealing to white people’s comfort is how we got to where BIPOC and LGBT people are being erased from history all together because the dark history of this country makes white people uncomfortable.

UPDATE: UnitedHealth deliberately changed patients to "do not resuscitate' so that they would be left to die in any medical emergency as they considered especially critically ill patients to be 'a waste of money' regardless of patient's desire to live.

Finally I created a perfect blend of Popeye and Donald Duck:
A blend of Popeye and Donald Duck with Popeye's face and skin colour and Donald Duck's body shape and clothing.  He looks great.

"Calarts Style" is the "woke" of shitty cartoonists Doesn't really mean anything other than "I don't like it, but I'm going to pretend my objection is moral/cultural to make it feel important"

i wake up everything's calarts style this rug is calarts style your face is calarts style the sky is calarts style the increasing crescendo of calarts style from beneath the floorboards, i can hear its symphony whispering to me its awful refrain: "get something real to hate"

This shirt where the inked Marvel profile character arts are recolored in cartoon colors is an abomination.
