**turns slowly to look at the literal chest full of Doctor Who DVDs and Blurays from both classic and modern Who**
… never mind, already have.
My sister bought $20 worth of candy. We got one trick-or-treater. Now we have a ton of candy to eat, all of it Reesey cups or super sweet Ghiardelli, which neither of us like, because that was all she could get on Halloween day.
My sympathies! Last year, not one single trick-‘r’-treatin’ kid came walking by on our entire street. Several of us had lots of candy ready to go (I had $40 of candy ready to give away). So I gave it to a few teacher friends of mine. This year, I didn’t have any; wasn’t even home.
She’d get more mileage from her cheerleader outfit, if she still fits. No upfront investment that way. Though I suppose Daisy wouldn’t get to pretend she’s fooling anyone.
maybe everyone else on the news paper team are male so she acts more ‘pro’ in front of them or it’s not really that important for the paper
Tho i’m surprised she doesn’t know becky, given how loudly she shouted at everyone about ‘being a lesbian’ (sure she’s taken but i feel like becky would be down to ‘winggirl’ for her too lol, or joyce joining too as the ‘lesbian love sleuths’)
Because it was canceled before it could get stale it’ll remain relevant forever, just like Firefly. It has a lot in common with Firefly really. Just replace River Tam with a lifetime of repressed homosexuality and Simon becomes Stede. . .
I’m still on team Daisy X Jennifer’s Ex, because I think by the comedy rules that govern this world Daisy can only notch a win if it means Jennifer is notching a loss.
OK so here’s an idea for Jennifer since the news reporter isn’t going anywhere. Jennifer could try to start her own news reporting or social commentary channel. Heck maybe she could pull a mark Zuckerberg and make her own website for it. All she needs is some financial resources and some programmers to get started.
Independent news channels have been on the rise for a while now anyway.
Called it. This is where I would link to the strip where AG is sitting on that roof and commented that Daisy was about to go crazy, but it’s late and I’m lazy. But I just want to tell that one commenter who scoffed at me that I CALLED IT
Twenty-five Halloweens since we built our house, and we still haven’t had a single trick-or-treater
(It would be two blocks out of the way from the nearest other house on unlit streets with no sidewalks, and you can’t even see our front door from the road, so that’s no real surprise)
I went to a cemetery with my friends and we dressed up like ghosts to take photos. The classic ghost-bedsheet. It was really silly and we laughed the whole time.
That’s by choice, right? I mean, just about every culture has a harvest-adjacent holiday that centers around honoring the dead and lighting lanterns against the encroaching darkness of the season. Halloween, Denali, All Souls’ Day, take yer pick, or invent your own, and have fun!
Denali is a mountain, and probably has some spiritual significance of which I am shockingly unaware.
I tried to find out. I typed just “Denali” at Google and one of the suggestions was “Denali holiday.” The hits were for the park surrounding the mountan and a lot for Diwali, so, you are not alone?
Man, this is the first we’ve even heard from Daisy in 3 irl years. I feel like she at least deserves to meet Amazi-Girl, maybe AG can throw her cape at her like Brock Samson.
We’re really gonna see if Ethan improvoing and Jennifer tanking is going to swing Asher’s need to date disasters back in the other direction at some point if this keeps up
You know what would be funny? If Daisy’s middle and last name started with D. Doubly so because not only were her name mirror J. Jonah Jameson, we would have someone in the comic canonically named DDD.
Optimus Prime broke down and cried on the set of "Transformers" (2007) due to the extensive use of green screen filming. He reportedly said, "This is not why I became an actor."
“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”
Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com ⋅ 2d
Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.
they managed to get the arms and thighs to be different grays, which I wasn't sure they'd be able to do, the way the mold's set up
though maybe they're just producing a lot of extra thighs and/or arms in the wrong colors and throwing those away, i dunno
Was the end of Evangelion really that bad? It did wrap everything up.
Well it ends with the ultimate gigapolycue.
… I think your comment is a day late?
It’s still Halloween here in Pacific Daylight time haha
or All Hallows Eve, if you prefer ^^
And now it’s All Souls’ Day! The party continues!!
Or Dios De Los Muertos depending on where you live! ^^
Party on!
So this is the exact opposite of Ana Chronistic’s gimmick
The beginning of End of Evangelion was bad.
Jennifer’s evil plan:
1) Buy superhero costume.
2) Cut chest window.
3) Take pictures of self, claim new hero has appeared
4) Sell to Daisy for $$$
5) Daisy demands more, Jennifer has become a version of Peter Parker whose relationship with her editor is simultaneously more and less fucked up than the original.
6) And thus the legend of Fanservice-Girl is born!
I approve of this plan and wish to subscribe to your news letter.
**turns slowly to look at the literal chest full of Doctor Who DVDs and Blurays from both classic and modern Who**
… never mind, already have.
thank you SO VERY MUCH for the mental picture of Jon Pertwee with a chest window
that ascot was covering a multitude of sins
Should not EVERY Doctor have a chest window in their outfit? And all their companions, too, while we’re at it.
Nine would do it for a laugh. Jack would do it for any reason.
“Captain Harkness! We need more cheesecake from you! It’s for reasons!”
“Oh, say no more! I’m certain it’s for the ultimate fate of all space and time!”
And his reply actually comes after he’s already ripped a hole in his shirt.
Does said chest have a window?
(So you can see the DVDs inside, of course.)
Doctor that sounds absolutely fantastic
how’d halloween go for you? i don’t suppose you went as yourself XD?
My sister bought $20 worth of candy. We got one trick-or-treater. Now we have a ton of candy to eat, all of it Reesey cups or super sweet Ghiardelli, which neither of us like, because that was all she could get on Halloween day.
I got probably around 40. Little better than last year, weather was nicer.
My sympathies! Last year, not one single trick-‘r’-treatin’ kid came walking by on our entire street. Several of us had lots of candy ready to go (I had $40 of candy ready to give away). So I gave it to a few teacher friends of mine. This year, I didn’t have any; wasn’t even home.
She’d get more mileage from her cheerleader outfit, if she still fits. No upfront investment that way. Though I suppose Daisy wouldn’t get to pretend she’s fooling anyone.
In case you’re shopping for names, “Cheerleadra” is already taken.
“Daisy, what is the day after Hallowe’en? When you miss seeing the sexy outfits?”
“The Thirst of November. Why do you ask?”
That cheerleader outfit has its own upfront investments for Jennifer
Well hell, now I want to see that.
Do you have a kickstarter for this comic? I’m in for $20.
Daisy must be a great editor or whatever to get away with being this professionally horny.
She genuinely does seem to be pretty good at her job when she’s thinking with her brain and not her legs.
My guess is that in this year of 20XX, no one else actually wants the job.
maybe everyone else on the news paper team are male so she acts more ‘pro’ in front of them or it’s not really that important for the paper
Tho i’m surprised she doesn’t know becky, given how loudly she shouted at everyone about ‘being a lesbian’ (sure she’s taken but i feel like becky would be down to ‘winggirl’ for her too lol, or joyce joining too as the ‘lesbian love sleuths’)
Woah Woah Woah! Just noticed the storyline title…pumped for this
My favorite trope is when a storyline has a title
its-been-84-years.jpg
also very glad to see this finally coming back around
not sure we’ve seen explody eyes out of joyce in a while but I think we’re about to see them again
Because it’s in the same format as F•R•I•E•N•D•S episode titles?
omg yessss!! i hadn’t noticed the title! i’ve never been so pumped for a DoA storyline
What the hell is “btr flag Death”?
“Our Flag Means Death”, a TV show.
How long before her being a fan of this show becomes outdated?
That’s only a concern if the show is inherently dated. That’s why us Scooby-Doo! fans have it so good.
Her? Oh, wait. I thought that was Ethan. I was wondering how he knew Daisy.
That was my first impression, too! But I wasn’t super sure which character it was, so I checked out the room and the cheerleader uniform gave it away
I thought the same at first, before context clues kicked in.
OTOH, it does cast BJ as being in a similar depressive spiral as Emothan.
I, too, somehow missed all of the background clues and was wondering why Daisy was sending Ethan out on assignment.
Because it was canceled before it could get stale it’ll remain relevant forever, just like Firefly. It has a lot in common with Firefly really. Just replace River Tam with a lifetime of repressed homosexuality and Simon becomes Stede. . .
It’s a popular streaming TV show: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Flag_Means_Death
Gay pirates
Ooh, pirate show.
>Taika Waititi
Nevermind
Ah, a Black Sails partisan.
I do love me some Black Sails, but that’s a separate, unrelated fact.
The big thing that sticks in my memory for both shows is seeing some internet slapfights about what the better gay pirate show is.
It’s really good, sadly it got cut a season short but still managed to give a pretty good ending.
I can’t explain why, but I get the impression it’s gonna have pirates talking and behaving like they’re having a conversation online in the 2020s.
I think it’s pretty fast and loose with the period setting, even by the already loose standards of pirate stories
I’m seeing “UrFlao Dedih”, which I think is the name of one of my cousins from the Old Country.
Which old country was that?
Looks like Flemish.
So… Flemland?
Flanders, plus Antwerp, northern Brabant, and Limburg. Northern Belgium.
This might clarify things:
https://pics.filmaffinity.com/Our_Flag_Means_Death_TV_Series-156253719-large.jpg
I honestly wonder what level of horny Daisy would be at now if she had gotten laid by Ruth that night.
She’d be equally horny, just in a different way.
she really is turning into a horny J. Jonah Jameson. . .
Turning into? She’s been this way for a while
Who’s good at the timeline? Was Walky already boinkin Amber by that point, cause that would make the scene really funny.
I wanna say this was post-Amber boinkin, pre-Lucy boinkin
man i can’t believe Daisy still isn’t getting la— ok drop everything jocelyne’s coming back
Daisy X Jocelyn OTP endgame confirmed canon
I’d ship it.
I’m still on team Daisy X Jennifer’s Ex, because I think by the comedy rules that govern this world Daisy can only notch a win if it means Jennifer is notching a loss.
AWE YEAH
*plays “Guess Who Is Back” by Koda Kumi on hacked muzak*
Jennifer looks like me after a Jacked Up halloween @3@
Maybe it’d make a better impression if Daisy’s tracked down AG herself.
The Return Begins.
OK so here’s an idea for Jennifer since the news reporter isn’t going anywhere. Jennifer could try to start her own news reporting or social commentary channel. Heck maybe she could pull a mark Zuckerberg and make her own website for it. All she needs is some financial resources and some programmers to get started.
Independent news channels have been on the rise for a while now anyway.
She can get Danny to write the authentication/authorization code.
Amber code also do it in half the time though.
Ah Daisy, I missed you horny lesbian you.
that girl could do with a lengthy perusal of Amazon’s “health and wellness” section
I am vibrating so fast from this chapter title, y’all cannot even comprehend
Is that what I’m hearing?
JOCELYN RETURNS.
DA DA DA DA DUUUUM…. DAA DA DA DA DA DA DUUM… DA DA DAUM DUM DUM DA DA DUM DUM DUM!!!
PokemonDumbing of Age: JOCELYN RETURNS!!!!!Is Daisy the horniest person in the series?
Probably the most sexually frustrated. Her pain is comedy gold.
Bitter, bitter gold… :.)
Lame running gag. Limping gag.
Called it. This is where I would link to the strip where AG is sitting on that roof and commented that Daisy was about to go crazy, but it’s late and I’m lazy. But I just want to tell that one commenter who scoffed at me that I CALLED IT
We don’t ‘do’ Hallowe’en here; how was everyone else’s?
mine was jacked up ahhahaa
at least i made it out in one piece with beer, candy, and legs that walked for 5 hours straight
forgot a costume but realized that I wear headphones all the time so i just went as a DJ lol
Had some classes, did some festive activities, watched a movie, played some Dead Rising, ate some sweets. Not a bad time overall.
Twenty-five Halloweens since we built our house, and we still haven’t had a single trick-or-treater
(It would be two blocks out of the way from the nearest other house on unlit streets with no sidewalks, and you can’t even see our front door from the road, so that’s no real surprise)
I watched someone play Slay the Princess for the first time.
So. Good.
I went to a cemetery with my friends and we dressed up like ghosts to take photos. The classic ghost-bedsheet. It was really silly and we laughed the whole time.
Lazy. Carved a few pumpkins, watched Over the Garden Wall, handed out some candy
That’s by choice, right? I mean, just about every culture has a harvest-adjacent holiday that centers around honoring the dead and lighting lanterns against the encroaching darkness of the season. Halloween, Denali, All Souls’ Day, take yer pick, or invent your own, and have fun!
Sorry, it’s ‘Diwali’, I guess!
Denali is a mountain, and probably has some spiritual significance of which I am shockingly unaware.
I tried to find out. I typed just “Denali” at Google and one of the suggestions was “Denali holiday.” The hits were for the park surrounding the mountan and a lot for Diwali, so, you are not alone?
During Dios De Los Muertos celebrated in Latin America, candles are lit so that the souls of the deceased can find their way back.
My main friend group had their party on Saturday. I was sick, so missed it.
I delived a bag of human hair to someone
You know, the typo makes it spookier…
I think the kids say “unalived” these days.
And I would hope you delivered the bag of human hair. I, for one, would not want any livers in my bags of human hair.
Daisy learned everything she knows about the newspaper business from her distant great uncle J. Jonah Jameson
I don’t know Daisy’s full name, but now in my headcanon, she is ‘Daisy D. Dawson”.
oh good, no Mariah Carey here
Man, this is the first we’ve even heard from Daisy in 3 irl years. I feel like she at least deserves to meet Amazi-Girl, maybe AG can throw her cape at her like Brock Samson.
“You’re not going to get any more Amazi-Girl adventures.”
“What is her phone number? Is she STILL single?”
Jennifer looks so bad here that I legitimately thought she was Ethan until I read the tags.
Her cheerleading uniform in the background is what clued me in.
We’re really gonna see if Ethan improvoing and Jennifer tanking is going to swing Asher’s need to date disasters back in the other direction at some point if this keeps up
“Jocelyne Returns”?!?!?!
OMG!!!!
I need pictures! Pictures of
Spider-Amazi-Girl!Hnnngh.
HNNNNGH.
I feel bad she got stood up by Ruth.
She didn’t get stood up by Ruth, they met up, talked a bit, and Ruth decided she wasn’t ready for a new relationship and left the date.
I am so excited by this chapter title, you have no idea.
Jennifer reacts to a disaster lesbian, it totally doesn’t make her think about herself whatsoever
P.D.: Joyce is gonna wake up like a disney princess
daisy settle down?
daisy settle down NO
daisy will never settle down not when caped justice is on the loose
HNNNNNNNNGH.
HNNNNGH.
Bad news: NHHHHHHHHGH is the sound Jennifer’s vibrator makes.
Good news: Nashita, randomly walking by this room, now thinks Jennifer is even cooler.
something something get me pictures of Spiderman
GODDAMMIT, BILLINGSWORTH!! GET ME PHOTOS OF AMAZI-GIRL OR I’LL HAVE YOUR REPLACEMENT COVER ME KICKING YOUR ASS!!
“PARKER! GET ME PICTURES OF SPIDER-MAN! FOR REASONS!”
GET ME PICTURES OF AMAZI-GIRL
Jennifer’s in “But I handled it like a champ” mode right now.
I’m going to cackle if she STILL thinks Sal is AG.
Is Billifer still under the delusion that AG is Sal?
JOCELYNE RETURNS???? I AM SO HYPED!!!
(although i really hope Joyce gets much more trans-ally-ed before she finds out……….)
[obligatory Spider-Man/Amazi-Girl parallel here]
You know what would be funny? If Daisy’s middle and last name started with D. Doubly so because not only were her name mirror J. Jonah Jameson, we would have someone in the comic canonically named DDD.
Daisy Dilys Dover
Oh my Cheeze I have been waiting for Jocelyne to come out to Joyce for years and I am so excited!
If Daisy doesn’t get laid soon then her unfulfilled sexual needs are going to break her.
Dude, I thought this was Ethan’s head peering over the pillow.
