        Yes, but Becky is still probably justregretting that choice and/or agreeing to help her at all

        I can’t imagine being in her situation and NOT taking the opportunity to actually pursue the career she wants, but I also can’t imagine it’d be easy to not feel guilty

          Actually, most politicians do try to keep their campaign promises.

          The problem is that they tend to promise things they know they can’t make happen, and deliver a watered down unsatisfying version of the same; or just fail to get enough people to agree with even the watered down version.

          • thejeff
            thejeff
            April 27, 2019 at 9:25 am | #

            The other side of the problem is that people tend to vote for politicians who promise wild fantasies that aren’t going to happen and ignore anyone talking more realistically.

            That said, there’s a difference between the common failure to meet campaign promises and the shift from campaigning on LGBTQ right and a 90% marginal rate on the rich back to GOP status quo of tax cuts for the rich and the religious freedom to discriminate.
            Swings like that aren’t at all common.

        …would she, though?

        We haven’t exactly seen much of anything about Robin’s actual, you know, personal beliefs. She comes off more as a parody of the traditionally cynical view of politicians, that their main political philosophy is “whatever lets me be an elected politician”.

        That’s why Becky was hired: Because Becky’s tweets were making Robin more popular, regardless of what they actually said.

        Granted, Robin might remain just a rank and file “do whatever the party leader says’ Republican, but if she can be convinced that being a, you know, not awful person is good for re-election, maybe she will make the good votes instead of the bad ones.

            Robin’s also said she’s not going to hurt anybody voting on anti-LGBT policies. Maybe Robin sometimes means what she says, is what I’m saying. She’s an unfocused immature jackass, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t mean things she says. I have no problem believing she insisted on two conditions.

        It being suddenly anywhere is a reason for concern. But if you look at Becky’s expression in panels four and six, you’ll see she isn’t fearful. Neither is she feeling judged by Blowjob Cat. Rather she finds its presence comforting.

      I didn’t know there was a Stevie Nicks cover. It’s great.

      Bonus question for music majors, past or present: Is “Crash Into Me” a passacaglia, or a chaconne? Discuss.

      • Kalirren
        Kalirren
        April 27, 2019 at 11:01 am | #

        Both passacaglias and chaconnes are based on dances in triple meter over repeating bass; some musicians try to split a hair over whether an actual bass line or just the harmony repeats, or whether the melody itself is in the bass. But out of the mists of history, the dance significance has been preserved, too, and it’s much more meaningful: If it’s a lone man dancing it’s probably a passacaglia. If it’s a woman or a couple, it’s probably a chaconne. Both dances come out of 17th century Spain, and Spain even now has a very strong tradition of gendered dances, especially for men.

        Since “Crash into Me” consists of a lone man singing about a wet dream in common time, I’d call it a passacaglia in four.

    And then Becky does a rad political assassination and gets her own spin-off where she goes on the run and has to evade the authorities while also hustling up enough cash to keep her phone topped up so she can text Dina.

          I’m busy trying to determine if, in fact, the location *WAS* formerly an addiction center as Roz stated in yesterday’s panel.  The fact that it’s located across the street from a school, however, makes me doubt it….

            Someone on Patreon checked it out on Google Street View, as did I after they pointed it out. As of July 2018, the building that would have this view of Blowjob Cat has a sign on it saying “Recovery Engagement Center.” The windows don’t match but everything else does.

            Edited to add …. it is.  Robin’s apartment/flophouse is on the 7th Street side of the building, and a ‘Recovery Engagement Center’ called “Centerstone” is on the other end of the building on the Rogers Street side (do a Google search for “218 N Rogers Street Bloomington IN” to bring up a map; click on the map and do ‘street view’ to see the buiilding — and if you move down the street you get a street-view of “Blowjob Cat”).

            This is the conclusion that I was coming to last night.

            Alternatively, it could be that Blowjob Cat’s gender identity is simply not known, and the plaque and the webpage merely represent the assumptions of their respective authors.

    While it’s unlikely, given that Robin collapses literally in the ground in a “realistic” series, I’m wondering if her rapid personality changes and episodes are a result of drug use.

    I’m not sure Willis is planning on taking us there, though.

            Not sure exactly what you’re asking. You can indeed see the building that Becky is presumably looking out from, even if the windows don’t match. I am not that good with perspective, but Becky’s view looks like what I imagine the view would look like from a second-story window across the street.

            If you want to look for yourself, go to Google Street View and plug in 218 N Rogers St. in Bloomington, IN (the building that Becky is presumably in, apparently now remodeled). Rotate clockwise for Blowjob Cat.

    I drive past blowjob cat nearly every day and never noticed the plaque. I had realized that the addiction center was no longer open, but I had not realized (or at least have completely forgotten) that they were converted to apartments.

    Since you clearly did a little research in the area, do you know if the chimney swifts are still there on the school grounds? When they tore down the old school in order to build Fairfield Elementary (the school on whose grounds blowjob cat rests), they were legally forced to leave one of the chimneys of the old school standing in the back of the school grounds because of the endangered birds’ nest in the chimney. I was wondering if that nest is still occupied.

      Willis now lives in Ohio, so you may be the closest person on the ground. This page from the current Fairview Elementary website indicates that a chimney swift tower is still there.

      (I can’t tell if it’s an original chimney or a replacement tower — I’m betting the latter, as purpose-built chimney swift towers seem to be A Thing, especially in Bloomington.)

      You can see the chimney swift tower on Street View (319 N. Fairview St). It’s built to look like an actual chimney, but it’s too nice (and too structurally sound) to be original.

Eckleburg are blue and gigantic — their irises are one yard high. They look out of no face, but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a nonexistent nose. Evidently some wild wag of an oculist set them there to fatten his practice in the borough of Queens, and then sank down himself into eternal blindness, or forgot them and moved away. But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days, under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground”

My family legacy: my grandmother drew the Kenny Loggins Jesus
An illustration of white jesus looking a lot like Kenny Loggins. It’s. Worksheet with typed questions and written answers:
- Who is this man? “Kenny Loggins”
- How does his death help us? “No more bad songs.”
- Why is it important that we remember him? “Highway to the Danger Zone was ok.”

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.

A great episode that also just had to be like "Okay, for this one specific criminal, Metropolis has the death penalty so he can't reveal Superman's secret identity."

"The Late Mr. Kent" is damn good television. Probably one of the best-written episodes of television written in the 1990s. Not just animation. Television period.

Still researching old sleaze paperbacks and legitimately wondering if the book designer asked the author or editor what should be the tagline at the top and they mumbled out the above tagline and the book designer just...wrote it down.
