            In all actuality, it’s more commonly the north than the south. We’s got an image to leave behind, so indulging in it wouldn’t help.

                  .I don’t mean to call Kernanator a liar, but I’ve traveled through the south a couple of times and that particular stereotype has some truth to it. In the interest of fairness the northern half of my state (live free or die bongoes) has its fair share of non-forking family trees.

                  Every stereotype has some truth to it. The claim wasn’t that it doesn’t happen, but that the area that it is attributed to is unfairly represented.

                  It’s more of a marching band thing in general; you often strip down to your underwear in order to put on your uniform, because wearing than that tends to be noticeable during band competitions, where judges are looking at you very closely. And because time is usually of the essence, we tend to do it in front of each other. Because of that, my high school marching band’s battle cry was “Let’s get naked, people!”

      The turtleneck sweater goes from being just a part of the oncoming nightmare to an indicator of shyness.

      Wikipedia says we call anything with that neckline a skivvy in Australia, and we call sweaters jumpers. I call sweaters jumpers, and shirts with that neckline skivvies, but the combination I call turtleneck sweaters – but with so little confidence that I look up two Wikipedia articles just to post a comment online.

      It doesn’t… the two non-events don’t have a causative relationship.

      I think your complaint is probably based on a misunderstanding of the premise of this particular comic. Dumbing of Age is in a separate universe, with no connection whatsoever to any other David Willis comic except for characters with identical or similar names and appearances, and a few in-jokes. Maybe some other connections, but it’s definitely set in an independent universe, not a ‘what-if’ universe or anywhere in the original storyline.

        Another possible answer: “The same thing that makes him the same age as Joyce, makes Joyce from a different town in Indiana, gives Ruth and Dina different last names, causes Mike to not be from New York, Amber and Ethan to not be from California, and makes Robin and Leslie five-eight years older than everybody.”

        But, yeah, this is not a What-If universe. This is not a possible fork in any other known timeline.

      This is what tags are for. Though that statement is a little facetious since that only really works if one or more of the characters has disappeared completely since the forgotten event in question. Which, in this case, happens to be true for Ruth.

      Last time on Ruthing of Age, Billie ‘beat’ Ruth via the expedient of super-cool Sal blowing her off completely, with Billie riding on her coattails. Billie took that opportunity to duck back for a parting shot, just to make sure that the next time Ruth saw her, Ruth would come prepared to make Billie die repeatedly. That ‘next time’ is, of course, right now.

      However, unless she wandered off somewhere since the first panel, Sal is still there, so Ruth may find herself out-cooled again. Only time will tell.

Not even *six months* out from the April Fool's post that presented such a thing as preposterously hilarious. The Slop Era is real.

Remember when Blockbuster Video gave a dude so many late fees he decided we should all borrow DVDs in the mail and then destroy the entire cable industry and shove a weird hot metal spike up the movie industry's keister for both better and worse? Anyway, never underestimate the power of spite.

Earlier this month at TFN I saw the amazing TF None panel by @chrismcfeely.bsky.social & @jimsorenson.bsky.social and I absolutely fell in love with the proposed version of Megatron. So after a little paint and 3d printing, I'm very excited to reveal my custom Negator!

You’ve seen the popemobile, but have you seen the Jesus semi
Back of a semi-truck cab seen from the highway. Two large vertical hoses and a coiled cable form the appearance of eyes and hair and a smiling mouth, making the truck look like Jesus

Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well: ‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’

Today in #9ChickweedLane I learned we're rerunning the week of strips where Edda strips a critic on stage during a performance, which definitely should've landed her in prison.

Fun thing about reading the DC x Sonic comics is that it’s interspersed with these ads for other DC comics that I have zero context for. Why is Batman shouting “hush” while dealing with a nosebleed? I’ll never know.
An ad for Batman Hush 2 Chapter 3 #160 I think? There are a lot of numbers, I don’t really know what it is, sorry. Batman is in front of the word HUSH repeated in the background, and he’s gripping his head and blood’s coming out from under his mask.

Scene from the good place where Michael is saying “Jason figured it out? Jason? This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts” but instead of “Jason” it says “reedpop”

Related: Reedpop cons strictly forbid AI at any exhibitor’s booth or AA table, as does Comic con. Take note Fanexpo. Nobody wants slop. Ban it.
