      “Who died?” is a pretty common reaction to seeing an unexpectedly low mood in a room. The idea is to go to a logical extreme by presuming the worst, so that the people in the room can respond with a relieved, “Oh, it’s not that bad.”

      Alas.

          And Ruth is well aware of this fact. Billie even reminded her earlier in this chapter.

          I don’t know if that makes it worse, or better because it’s the kind of response Mike would’ve said if he was here instead of someone else…

        I once showed up from a summer party wearing all black soliciting that quip. I had just been at a funeral.

        I’m disappointed by how much people are dumping on Walky. Dorothy needed to know her audience before trying that. Considering that Mike’s roommate and his close friend were in the room, she should have left it to either of them to say anything, neither of whom would have. It wasn’t her place to give a speech at all, though she could have gotten away with saying almost anything else.

      It’s a reference to The Good Place. There’s a scene where Chidi is teaching another character about the history of Ethics, and his student asks, “Who died and left Aristotle in charge of ethics?”

      To which Chidi gestures at his blackboard where the name Plato is circled and says, “Plato”.

        It’s from a TV show.

        “TV shows” are forms of serialized audiovisual entertainment transmitted remotely through radio, satellite and optical technologies to receiving devices including a visual and sound output typically owned by individuals or family units.

        “ownership” is a religious concept tying objects (or buildings, land and immaterial entities) to individuals; the objects may be transmitted synchronically and generationally through a highly complex set of rituals; it is first found in western european societies, which later imposed it through colonial expansion to the rest of the planet.

        “Europe” is a subcontinent of the Eurasian landmass variously construed as a geographic, historical, cultural, religious, political or racial territorial expanse. It’s complicated. Maybe google that one.

    I await the dramatic revelation that Danny went to visit Mike and turned off his life support…completely by accident.

    That Danny!

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.

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!
the most upsetting toy of all time: a small and horrible statue of melting, nude Senator Kelly from the first x-men film
