        Daniel here. I’ve had to do the whole hernia surgery thing myself, abdominal/pelvic region, keyhole surgery. Went well, slept longer than expected since I stayed up all night to prevent missing the appointment, went home that day, did NOT have working ab muscles for 3 weeks after!! I hope your recovery went as smooth as possible…

            Instead of cutting you open, they make a small incision and guide the tools with a camera. It heals quicker, apparently.

              Yea, the doctors were finding that standard abdominal surgery was getting too routine and boring, so they thought they would make it more challenging by doing it through a camara lense. But seriously, they just wanted to use some high tech shit.

          If the aftereffects were that bad, maybe you should’ve had a doctor do the surgery. I’m all for do-it-yourself, but some things are best left to the pros.

    Come to think of it, I’m more surprised that the Walkerton parents aren’t constantly checking in on their golden boy to see if he needs snacks and to inquire how his future presumed doctorhood-level grades are going.

      They do send care packages? But I think they assume his grades are good because they always have been…

        Needfuldoer
        September 26, 2019 at 2:13 am | #

        But they’re not entitled to see his grades automatically anymore, since he’s chronologically an adult. Linda would definitely pester him about them, though.

        Sal might get a fleeting “good job” from Charles, but that’s about it.

          That’s about what I’m expecting. A fleeting ‘oh, that’s nice dear’ or ‘good for you’ before focusing on Walky. And of course, it can’t be their golden boy’s fault so I’m sure they’ll come up with some sort of explanation.

      that’s why she made it a C, so it wouldn’t be as obvious. but yeah he maybe should at least have considered that she did.

        I think he’ll figure it out. He’s lazy and irresponsible, but not stupid.

        It’ll just probably happen at a more dramatic moment.

          Axel
          September 26, 2019 at 12:13 am | #

          But he also wasn’t looking at any of his grades for a while, I don’t think. It’s not totally unreasonable to think that maybe a couple quizzes (since he’s attended a couple times recently iirc) were scored really high and brought it from a fail to a very low pass.

          That’s not to say I don’t think he’ll notice, I just think it’s probably pretty close to 50/50, unless Joyce or someone who’s seen his scores mentions it.

          September 26, 2019 at 12:32 am | #

          He’s not stupid, but he’s also a big fan of denial.

        It’s “average.” Its not passing in grad school programs, but its just passing in undergrad. Passing grades for American undergrad programs are A+, A, B+, B, C+, C, and failing grades are D+, D, and F. There used to be minuses too, but they did away with those to spare feelings or something.

    I’ve had a hernia surgery myself. It was loads of fun. I slept on the couch for about half a week because I didn’t have it in me to go up the stairs.

    Of course, the real pain came when my insurance reversed course after the fact and decided not to pay for my surgery after all. Basically, they wanted me to have the surgery to prevent my health from going south in a way they’d be forced to pay for, but couldn’t resist smurfing me in the smurf. I had to pay out of pocket after negotiating a settlement. That sucked.

    Doing the minimum will always doom you. If you spent your whole life getting Cs or 70s, one small mistake will ruin your average and make you try to achieve something greater and end up as stressed as an animation student on the last two weeks of the semester. It isn’t funny.

    Okay, someone who knows comic-drawing please tell me what the hell is happening with Walky’s eyes in panels 1,3, and 4?

    I know it totally works. I didn’t notice anything was weird the first couple of times I read the comic, and those eyes totally convey the roller coaster of emotions that Walky is feeling.

    But I look at it with my analytical brain, and panel 1 Walky almost looks like he has cuttlefish eyes, with that classic w-shaped pupil. Panel 3 has…exclamation point pupils? And I can’t stop looking at the yin-yang shape in panel 4.

    I can’t draw for squat, and I can’t analyze drawing for squat. But I’ll bet someone out there has the answers.

      As far as I can make out, part of the black is the pupils of his eyes, part of the white is light reflecting from the pupils, the other part of the white is the whites of his eyes, and the other black is the shadows of his eyelids. I won’t swear to this in court, though.

    In between reading the previous strip and this one, about 24 hours passed during which I received the book containing the storyline in which Amber changed Walky’s grade … along with a dozen nifty magnets! Thank you Willis!

    first time commenter!!

    mainly because the constant foreshadowing here about ‘having a future’ and life’s berevity in the last three strips – ESPECIALLY when Walky is walking into view or being addressed- has been driving me fucking crazy, i HAVE to say something, i don’t care if it ends up being a red herring.

        Mommy Dearest wants him to do premed at some point so yeah, i assume it won’t be his choice to make after a while.

        Christ, Linda reminds me of my mother way too much for my comfort in that way. She was so eager to make sure I succeed in life, and it ended up causing me to burn out and fail catastrophically.

      Walky needs to find out how to study. That’s his real problem, he doesn’t know how to make himself learn things that don’t just click. Rereading the material doesn’t work for him.

    Okay I was trying not to be but I am a little irritated by this now. I think it would do Walky and Sal some good to know Walky’s not capable of just coasting by without effort. It would take him off that “the good” kid pedestal their parents kind of put him on. Walky can fuck up too!…Which he did…and got away with it…bleh.

        I’m sure it partly is, but it’s also got to be tempting. Especially since he still has no idea how to actually work on turning it around.

    Man, when this storyline started up I remember feeling exactly in Walky’s shoes when I was failing one of my first college math courses. Flash forward five years now that I’m done with school and lol, that kinda concern feels so far away and way more manageable by now.

It’s been awhile since I’ve more seriously read up on Ugaritic and Canaanite religions (alas, w/semi dated scholarship), but this is interesting, and not in a peaceful matriarchal fantasy kind of way.
theradr.bsky.social's user avatarRabbi Danya Ruttenberg @theradr.bsky.social ⋅ 20d
If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.

I will say for the umpteenth time that the Democratic establishment is terrible at understanding enthusiasm math. An energized base is crucial to winning fights-- electoral and otherwise-- because they will drag the low info folks out to vote and protest and engage. You NEED that energy.

It's not just that he and his policies are unpopular, there's a clear and demonstrated enthusiasm differential now. His base is energetically absent, ours is livid and out in the streets.

Turns out the guy was Chuck Ayers, a nationally recognized cartoonist and creator of Crankshaft. He had a lot to say but the thing that struck me was that when he talked about whats going on now, I could see he was holding back emotion. All this still hurts him to see 55 (!!) years later.

We can’t make the actual event at the capitol today, so you’ll find us with the kids on University with our signs (and I might bring the megaphone too). Even if you can’t make it to the capitol - come out in your own neighborhoods, even if it’s for a few minutes. Be seen. Be heard. #nokings
