      Yes, when used “””in anger”””, the “””excessive””” application of “””air-quotes””” can prevent violence by keeping the hands “””occupied””” so they cannot “””throw””” punches. Myself, I am vibrating in “””rage””” at your “””abuse””” of them, since you did not properly “””close””” your “””air-quotes”””.

    With each strip it becomes more clear why Sarah never talks about her family. This is becoming a whole damn conversation and who wants that?

      To some degree, depends on the person. I’ve known people who are pretty open about their Complicated Family Issues, and apart from ‘my half-sister flirts with boys I like/am dating,’ most of what we currently know isn’t TOO complex, or particularly rare. (In that what we have confirmed is ‘parents split, Mom had subsequent relationship producing half-sibling, maybe Dad also had a subsequent relationship.’ By comparison, I had three maternal grandfathers and all of them had been married at least once aside from my grandmother, and had children from at least one other relationship. We’re in contact with people from every branch of the family. Explaining who’s who gets complicated fast.)

      However, Sarah’s a pretty private person, so I 100% see her not wanting to talk about her family in general beyond ‘I have a (half-)sister and my parents divorced when I was really young.’ Even if it weren’t A Thing, you must be Friendship Level 7 to hear Sarah’s Deepest Family Lore.

        Wait, forgot the Stepmoms comment already. To our knowledge, then, we have at least three relationships in play here among parents, most likely four. (Sarah and Liz’s Mom – Sarah’s Dad, Sarah and Liz’s Mom – Liz’s Dad, either Liz’s Dad or potentially depending on how close she was to Sarah growing up Sarah’s Dad – Stepmom. Possibly also Remaining Dad – Second Stepmom and/or Liz’s Dad – Stepmom 2.)

          The Stepmoms thing might only mean one stepmom because apparently using the plural when you mean the singular is a thing now. This hurts me but it does mean it could just be four parents: their Mom, Sarah’s Father, Liz’s Father and a Stepmom.

            Impossible. I demand a complicated family tree with so many stepmothers that Dorothy makes a family tree and there is still a mystery stepmother where she can’t find where she fits, she’s just there.

    Hey, masturbation is a great way to relieve stress and anger. It’s also recommended to do before you make decisions like “should I call my ex?” or “should I send my crush a picture?”

    Make sure your downstairs isn’t doing the thinking for you.

    …was thinking about the structure of Sarah’s and Liz’s family and it just hit me:

    Sarah was originally created, in the 90s, to be “a dumping ground for all the traits [Willis] thought were mockable, just to prop up Joyce as having hidden wisdom, or something“. And her last name is “Clinton.”

    Every time I think I find a Willis character whose name isn’t a joke…

      Ah, but considering the phrases a vibrator, and (back in that arc) I think my Nana gave me this one, there is more than one Other Male Liz can be referring to.

    Sooo… two ways to take that last sentence, that I can think of:

    1. Vibrator as a blunt object that is also kinda gross if it’s not your own, like flicking your boogers at someone.

    2. More alike the nervous husband who, returning home on his wife’s period day, opens the door just enough to throw a big chocolate bar through. Waits patiently for her to devour it, and only comes inside once it’s safe.

      “his wife’s period day”
      …
      _day_, … “Day”?! … I think I know why this husband is skittish at this time, if he thinks it’s only a day. Like, yeah, sure there are outliers, but that includes the other side, with some women where it can last a week (or more). And that’s just menstruation, not PMS + menstruation. Also, for dudes not in the know, a cycle is _typically_ ~28 days, but can vary a _lot_ between women, and for the same woman. Lastly, if he’s throwing chocolate at the ‘mysterious period monster’ his wife becomes, why the hell did she marry him? Dude seems to have no capacity to learn enough to be compassionate.

      I know this is absolutely unrelated to the point you were making. I just… I’m not a woman, but there was just so much material here.

      Also, throwing a vibrator at someone shouldn’t be gross. WASH your damn sex toys after you use them! people.

          Ex’s keep taking mine with them. Actually, that’d be a good ask reddit: when a couple separates, who gets the sex toys? Is it a thing that people only want to use new sex toys in a relationship? Because that sounds artificially hygenic (i.e., not really), and wasteful.

      No, it’s not. I mean it happens, and I think I see where you’re going here, but it’s not attributable to being sisters or female.

      To expand the point, “Stealing” partners is a thing shitty people do, and shitty partners participate in. It’s also a thing people do to get away from shitty partners (“letting” themselves be “stolen”). But it’s definitely not the case that a dude (or gal or other) lacks agency when confronted by strange pussy (or dick or other). If your partner can be “stolen” there is something wrong with them, you, the relationship, or d) some/all of the above. So you’re better off apart at that point anyways.

        It’s also a shitty thing to be a part of, (remember, whoever gets ‘stolen’ has agency).

        Again, gonna add the flip side here: sometimes cheating with or on, is someone’s escape route from a shitty situation. I’ve known people who where terribly abused, but could not see it until someone else came along and showed them they were deserving of feeling loved and lovable again.

            Oh agree 100%. Although if _safety_ is the issue, I’m hard pressed to see how cheating would make things safer, instead of just calling 911 and “ordering pizza”.

              Well, for one, it not being safe to leave isn’t necessarily the same as ‘never relatively safe in the moment’ – one of the most dangerous moments is when you try to leave. For another, the ordering pizza thing is hardly air tight. A lot of 911 operators don’t know what it is or wtf you’d be talking about. It’s not a real thing they’re trained on. A lot will be able to figure it out, but other’s are just going to assume it’s a prank or a mistake and may hang up.

                Fair enough. I have to second all this. I’m not female, and never been afraid of my partner like that. Whatever it takes to get out safely though, to whomever needs to do so, do it without guilt. And by that I don’t mean, “wait for a guilt free way” I mean “whatever it takes, and don’t feel guilty for looking out for yourself.”

    “That’s why guys like me better, I’m the fun one” is not a very nice thing to say right in front of your half-sister.

    I’ve a half-brother on my mother’s side. He’s 19 years younger than I am. The only time I ever refer to him as my half-brother is when I’m talking about our family situation. Other than that, I would never dream of doing what Sarah’s doing here. He’s my little brother! No matter how much of a brat he may be when he’s bored.

    (I also have a “full-sister” and 2 “half-sisters” on my dad’s side- Same difference, tho the half sisters live in another continent.)

      Hopefully your brother isn’t going around trying to steal your partners and saying he is more fun and therefore better liked. Because Liz be doing that to Sarah so it makes sense she’d want to reestablish distance from her when she basically brushes it off as not a big deal in the slightest and makes it more about how Sarah is cranky when it is something most people would be justifiably cranky about.

        Seeing as he’s only 10, I’d be very worried if he was trying to steal my partners.

    So…
    Based on all the context clues,
    Sarah and Liz’s mom:
    Had at least one kid in a relationship.
    Within one(point 5ish) year had another child with someone else.
    And is now currently married to a woman (assuming that Liz is not from in vitro while their mom was with her current.)

    I kinda want to know more about this woman.
    She sounds interesting.

"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.

Terrible news! The back of box render for the Classified Series Legacy Firefighter seems to imply Shipwreck's house caught on fire.
The back of box render for the GI Joe Classified Series Legacy Collection Firefighter. A firefighter in the foreground poses dramatically with the jaws of life. Another firefighter in the background sprays a wrecked car with foam. A third firefighter even further back escorts a man away from a burning house.

Every webcomic has two stories: the story the artist is telling and the meta story of watching an artist make creative choices over the course of many, many years. You get to watch art evolve and change in real time.
kyssimmee.com's user avatar🐊 @kyssimmee.com ⋅ 2d
not to wax poetic about webcomics but I think one of the best things about webcomics is that reading them forces you to confront the fact that artists evolve and change over time, and that "style" is a necessarily evolving thing
