Hi there Clif, howdy, say have we seen Demoted Oblivious lately?
(i havent paid as much attention for a couple weeks on account of i wasnt home & my phone is infuriatingly slow, but i get the feeling they’ve been gone a minute?)
yeah Demo if you read this, i hope you’re having too much fun irl; just nod if you can hear me? <3
The inside of Walky’s mind probably looks like an obstacle course full of tantalizing distractions. Every so often a thought makes it all the way through to the end.
Yes, I probably should have put “the plan” in airquotes. Lucy’s plan has gone off without a hitch, but Walky has failed to realize the game being played.
So in this universe, we have Walky trying and failing miserably to throw off Joyce’s presentation of a comic where thinly-veiled versions of herself and Dorothy have oodles of subtext
While in the other universe, we have Dorothy (posessed, but still) trying to throw off Joyce and Walky’s wedding with an army of crack pairing fankids (plus a couple of canon ones)
I tried reading through the Walkyverese once from the beginning, and couldn’t do it. But this section looks like a fun read, and I’m glad I know it exists now so I can follow along. Thanks Rassilon!
strong offensive maneuver, i take it joyce read sun tzu in bible study? …or whatever the christian version is? did they cover fighting tactics in veggie tales?
God is an everything god, it’s highly unusual!
Harvest, justice, ethics, sheep, mountains, protection, war… you name it, God’s the first one-stop shop in the middle east.
Pretty sure that’s a side effect of dispatching holy troops to wander around converting or killing the other gods’ followers and stealing the cool bits from their religions.
Yahweh *officially* became all-powerful (or an “everything god”, as you describe him), only after the Babylonian captivity, for the sole purpose of the military leaders of the Kingdom of Israel saving face.
Specifically, these absolutist rulers rationalized that Yahweh was all-powerful and controlled all their enemies including the Babylonians (“stiffened their hearts”) to overpower their kingdom as punishment for breaking their covenant.
And this god who created everything in the universe is somehow not responsible for creating the Serpent or the magic trees that needlessly jeopardized the human innocence HE wanted to preserve.
Seriously though, I kinda feel bad for those bees.
I mean, can you think of a more gruesome fate than having your home collapse with you in it, only to give way to total darkness, a horrible stench, and get slowly burned to death by stomach acid?
More on this, I’m kinda disappointed in Jurassic World for exactly that reason. I mean, I get that there likely isn’t good reception, and it’s a trope and all that, but I feel like the security forces what got ate and stomped by the indominous wouldn’t have _all_ just gone to static. Like, we should have been left with some active Blair Witch or Cam style cams still broadcasting, possibly (see aforementioned signal strength) from inside her Indomitable self. And yes it would be horrible, and it was tragic, but I’m utterly unconvinced that things are always *dead* before they’re swallowed. Especially not bite size morsels like lawyers and guards. Like, yeah, they’re not gonna survive, but death is often pretty messy and can take a little bit.
He’s not big, but he’s sure seems dumb enough to not see his wife’s bigotry. So… yeah? Like maybe his version of the “check what I can do” shoulder angel/devil argument is Linda’s blow jobs or something.
Also, what the hell were Christian angels and devils doing on Kronks shoulders? Surely there was _some_ kind of Incan spirit types that should have stepped in?
Diabolical Joyce! Her accurate plan made for destroy Walky’s self estem is working! He will become a nervous mess orribile to see!!! Luckily, coach Lucy is here for him, she will knows what to do.
I know I’m in too deep when I see a perfectly innocuous joke strip and then try to go “ah yes here is the dark secret motivating Lucy, I’ve cracked the code.”
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
Happy International Non-Binary People's Day to all those who work, create, parent, protest, love and live without ever fitting into someone else's category.
Okay, everyone's jumping to conclusions, but Joyce was hit with a mysterious pink gas in Thursday's strip.
Now, in recent years, the police are known to increasingly use military grade weapons.
Which reminded me of this bit of proposed technology from the 1990s:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_bomb
hey, kid, what do you want to play with from the cool superhero movie? is it a nude, melting senator who feels like a stretch armstrong doll that has been left out in the son and maybe mildly chewed by a neighborhood dog? WELL, SON, YOU'RE IN LUCK!
Joyce is absolutely totally straight and just wants to hang out with her best friend, who happens to be another lady. This is normal behavior and a normal biblical quote to use that has no other context.
GAL PALS
OK, I said I was going to a thread of receipts together on the guy who runs Kapow, in odder to explain why I personally would recommend not giving him your business at TFN.
Starting with the original post, revealing the guy loves sharing right wing fascist stuff on LinkedIn.

Since you might think it's weird you got a like on this over a year after the fact, the director of Kapow just shared this on LinkedIn; i.imgur.com/hqQYWgO.png

She’s playing three dimensional chess and doesn’t know it.
Hi there Clif, howdy, say have we seen Demoted Oblivious lately?

yeah Demo if you read this, i hope you’re having too much fun irl; just nod if you can hear me? <3
It’s a mystery.
ooooh say no more ^w^
Quantum 3-D chess.
blindsidin’ bombshells.
Speaking of “quantum” (besides what’s become of the adjective in common usage), what’s your occupation?
I’m guessing that it’s at least somewhat physics-related, but I could be wrong.
That’s the one with the really _tiny_ pieces right?
Second John Mulaney reference from Walky during this story.
Foreshadowing that we will soon see a horse loose in a hospital?
I saw a bird in an airport once!
I saw a pigeon in a bus station.
I saw a pigeon at the zoo.
I saw a wild turkey wandering around my neighborhood on more than one occasion!
I saw a squirrel.
He was doin’ like THIS! *chomp chomp*
Just get Rayne Summers, He’ll get the horse a prostitute. And we’ll love him for it.
Wow she’s in his head!
If being in his head doesn’t throw her off balance, nothing will.
The inside of Walky’s mind probably looks like an obstacle course full of tantalizing distractions. Every so often a thought makes it all the way through to the end.
Welcome to ADD land, where once is a while a thought that one has, makes it all the way to the end, … WITHOUT dying. Once in a, OH! Squirrel!
Well as with all other mazes, perhaps some retrograde analysis would help?
Note that this is not to be confused with retrograde amnesia .
Ugh this is an excellent description of my life
Well, there’s plenty of room in there.
The other problem with the plan is that Walky’s presentableness has precedent from back when he was dating Dorothy.
I mean the mind game aspect is just a manipulation from Lucy to get Walky to dress nice anyway. There’s no saying whether Joyce would care either way.
Yes, I probably should have put “the plan” in airquotes. Lucy’s plan has gone off without a hitch, but Walky has failed to realize the game being played.
Flipping the script!
Whoa! Take it take it take it YEAH! *saxophone solo*
So in this universe, we have Walky trying and failing miserably to throw off Joyce’s presentation of a comic where thinly-veiled versions of herself and Dorothy have oodles of subtext
While in the other universe, we have Dorothy (posessed, but still) trying to throw off Joyce and Walky’s wedding with an army of crack pairing fankids (plus a couple of canon ones)
The dissonance is hysterical, and I love it.
I tried reading through the Walkyverese once from the beginning, and couldn’t do it. But this section looks like a fun read, and I’m glad I know it exists now so I can follow along. Thanks Rassilon!
strong offensive maneuver, i take it joyce read sun tzu in bible study? …or whatever the christian version is? did they cover fighting tactics in veggie tales?
as i recall there’s a fair amount of war in the bible itself,
If she breaks out a horn and starts marching around in circles, watch out.
The constant calls for war and genocide in the bible isn’t really surprising, considering that Yahweh is basically an over-glorified WAR god.
God is an everything god, it’s highly unusual!
Harvest, justice, ethics, sheep, mountains, protection, war… you name it, God’s the first one-stop shop in the middle east.
Pretty sure that’s a side effect of dispatching holy troops to wander around converting or killing the other gods’ followers and stealing the cool bits from their religions.

I don’t think Veggie Tales covered Sun Tzu or Clausewitz or anything, but I wouldn’t know and frankly if they did it wouldn’t surprise me
only when discussed by French peas
OOF, off kilter volley has been spiked!
The turns have tabled, and now the foot is on the other shoe!
Well, well, how the turntables…
And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done?
And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me… (Genesis 3:13)
And this god who created everything in the universe is somehow not responsible for creating the Serpent or the magic trees that needlessly jeopardized the human innocence HE wanted to preserve.
How predictable.
Pretty sure God actually explicitly created both of those things? Where did you get the idea there wasn’t any responsibility for making them?
Oh, I didn’t. But by the looks of it, this god did, and punished Adam and Eve for failing a test that they were designed to fail.
Yep, he’s an asshole. In other news, bears eat bees.
Seriously though, I kinda feel bad for those bees.
I mean, can you think of a more gruesome fate than having your home collapse with you in it, only to give way to total darkness, a horrible stench, and get slowly burned to death by stomach acid?
…is that a challenge?
I’m guessing theres a few people in Afghanistan right now that are experiencing worse (Thanks Biden)
please don’t.
Seconded. If I wanted that I’d saunter over to r/politics.
Same here. Even I’m not willing to head into THAT turbulent territory.
(no pun intended)
More on this, I’m kinda disappointed in Jurassic World for exactly that reason. I mean, I get that there likely isn’t good reception, and it’s a trope and all that, but I feel like the security forces what got ate and stomped by the indominous wouldn’t have _all_ just gone to static.

Like, yeah, they’re not gonna survive, but death is often pretty messy and can take a little bit.
Oh and they’d suffocate first I think.
All according to keikaku…
I prefer cake.
Specifically for Aku?
I understood that reference.
It’s very important to keep your rhythm while you’re skipping.
3rd panel is the epitome of New Joyce.
Dumbing of Age Book 12: I’m Thrown Off My Rhythm
DoA Book 12: We’re Flippin’ the Script!
“I’m Thrown Off My Rhythm” is better though.
Joyce skipping class, we’ve broken through the central finite curve here
SCHOOL MISSER!

I guess
KuzcoWalky will have to find a new groove.If Walky is Kuzco, I’m not sure if I want to know who’s Yzma.
Linda?
Ooh, good one.
Does that make Charles Kronk?
He’s not big, but he’s sure seems dumb enough to not see his wife’s bigotry. So… yeah? Like maybe his version of the “check what I can do” shoulder angel/devil argument is Linda’s blow jobs or something.
Also, what the hell were Christian angels and devils doing on Kronks shoulders? Surely there was _some_ kind of Incan spirit types that should have stepped in?
Poor Walky! Still, you can’t blame him for his confusion. I mean, Joyce is the one you’d least expect to spontaneously rebel, isn’t she?
Diabolical Joyce! Her accurate plan made for destroy Walky’s self estem is working! He will become a nervous mess orribile to see!!! Luckily, coach Lucy is here for him, she will knows what to do.
This what happens when good people try to use their brains for evil.
I know I’m in too deep when I see a perfectly innocuous joke strip and then try to go “ah yes here is the dark secret motivating Lucy, I’ve cracked the code.”
The moment you realize that someone has playing power games with you and you just never noticed …
STREET SMARTS!!
Walky had the opportunity for his JAWsome moment in Panel 2. Looks like he will regret not taking it.
OTOH maybe Liz will make Joyce forget everything about the comic strip job.
Walky: “I’m gonna wear nicer clothes; Joyce won’t know what hit her!”
Joyce: “I am not going to class today, bye!”
Walky: “….WHAT!?”
Oh no, Joyce has street smarts, we didn’t plan for that eventuality!
I’m appreciating these John Mulaney references
