          “Screw it, I’ll just GPS it.” – Said by me when visiting flatland.

          Compass directions are easy enough if the sun is out, and my last few cars have had built in compasses. But I still generally use terrain landmarks in day to day driving, and flatland just doesn’t have that.

            I narrowly missed an opportunity to work in a rural area of NJ that is just cornfields everywhere. Instead I ended up with a job two townships over from me that is nothing but hills.

            When going for interviews for the other job I got lost while using the gps twice because I forgot to turn and wound up walled in by the cornfields and cow pastures.

    Oh that is Definitely gonna depend on what part of Tennessee. Cuz on my end it’s flat as hell. Farther east you are, however. That’s where biking would be a challenge.

    So I guess we can narrow down what part of Tennessee her school was at

        The difference between the highest and lowest points in Indiana is roughly 900 feet. I would say that it might have some rolling hills, but it’s pretty dang flat overall, when compared to any mountainous region.

        For comparison, Pennsylvania has only middling-tall Appalachian mountains (far from the heights gained at either end of the range), and its height variation is over 3000 feet from highest to lowest point.

        Tennessee, on the other hand, has some of the tallest mountains in the greater Appalachian range, and has a height variation of more than 6000 feet.

        Therefore, from the perspective of someone used to mountains, Indiana’s hilliest areas are still going to be pretty dang flat.

          Seconded, but from someone who grew up in BC. The ‘mountains’ around Vancouver are oft considered ‘foothills’, lil’ bumps to practice on for when you want to really play. Now I live in great-lakes canuck land, and while not the prairies, it’s a joke what people call mountains and valleys around these parts. And I don’t *want* to be a snob about it. But when I want to hike a hill, I expect it to take more than 5 minutes.

    Oberlin College is so flat that, when they dug out a new swimming pool, we named the resulting pile of dirt Mt Oberlin and sledded down it on cafeteria trays.
    Before the swimming pool, Mt. Oberlin was the name of the pitcher’s mound.

          And yet they can’t pay the players because that would make them professionals, instead of students. Even when EA licenses their likenesses for a video game the money still goes to the sport’s governing body and/or school.

      People have mentioned Linda will be a point of contention, but Sal doesn’t seem like the type to share details of her personal life with Linda.

    Sal looks like Asher in 2nd panel.

    Bloomington does have some challenging inclines but you have to get off campus. To the north there’s a climb and then rapid descent to some reservoir.

    Mostly, what you need are the long slow murder hills of Oklahoma or the northern part of montana . Oh it looks flat…it’s uphill for 20 miles. 🙂 steady. Oh and 1 mile in town is nothing.

      I remember they used to have “Ski Turkey Mountain” T-Shirts . I also remember watching True Grit and realizing that those were the Rockies not the Ouachita.

    my first trip out to the midwest was to visit a friend who lived in Urbana, IL. I flew into Chicago at night, we drove down to Urbana. I marveled at how non-curvy the highway was. My friend took his hands off the wheel and we went for 32 miles before he had to touch the wheel again. This was 1983 or so, self-driving cars didn’t exist.

    The next day we went to the mall because I needed stuff. I got out of the car in the parking lot and as far as I could see in 360° around me, was flat Flat FLAT. An utterly impossible vista where I come from. It almost freaked me out, but I think my hangover kept me grounded.

    Also the same trip where I discovered White Castle for the first time. A bag of burgers? Really?

    I’m from the prairies, where the land around is flat, flat, flat…

    When I moved to Ontario in 2019, I was really confused one day when I entered a mall on the ground floor, went down a floor, then exited on the ground floor… wait…

    Takes a while to get used to non-level elevation lmao

We have two major problems in our party: We have a courage problem and we have a competition problem. Because we don't challenge the status quo or people who are in safer blue seats nearly enough, we [end up with certain] candidates who get really comfortable. [highlighted by me] And if there's anything that I've learned from activism and organizing, it's that comfortable people — especially politicians — do not change.

Me two weeks ago: Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, not to protect anyone, but because entering prison as the world's most illustrious pedophile makes that a logical decision. Conspiracy theories make less sense than the stated story. Me now: The Pee Tape was shot on Epstein Island.

I need more Muslim characters! Or at least more prominent ones who aren't Raidah. It is a huge giant hole in my strip that makes it suck. The current storyline would've been way better if they existed. But they don't, and no amount of throwing Asma in for three strips solves it.

Happy Nonbinary People's Day, you gemstones. A year or two back we introduced FLASH GORDON's first enby, the outlaw lawman Bones Malock. Having known and loved a lot of nonbinary people, I knew the truest way to represent you was as a unsettling desert pirate with a lightning sword
Flash Gordon's Bones Malock:
Bones Malock, under captions reading:
Bones Malock and Flash Gordon.

Flash: Okay... wait thirty seconds, then give me a distraction.

Bones: Got just the thing.

Flash: Do NOT blow the place up.

Bones: You're the boss.
