Speaking of which… when we want to talk with the kids, or they with us, we’ll generally first send a text message “Good time for a call?” I don’t think we could have predicted 15 years ago that this would be the new normal, but it just makes sense: we might be busy, they might be busy, we might be eating dinner, they might be eating dinner, we might be out, they might be out, we might be cooking strawberry jam…
I know we’re not the only ones.
Honestly, I can relate to the first couple of panels: at my recent high school reunion, I really didn’t know what do with the women.
Hell, I didn’t know what to do 45 years ago, why would I know any better now?
Anyway, the last two panels were a total mystery.
… GoComics doesn’t pay anybody to look over old comics scheduled for rerunning to see whether they belong in 2019 newspapers (or even on the GoComics website). At least once a year, there’s a Mutt and Jeff that make us say “Oh, hell no…”
I’m not advocating censorship, or in any way making the old strips cease to exist. Put them in collections. Have a Mutt and Jeff archive site. But some strips really don’t belong in the general daily feed.
(And this is far from the most cringeworthy example)
Maybe it’s just me… but these celebrations of lying just rub me the wrong way: we didn’t lie to our kids.
Is this a regionalism, or did Jimmy intend to write “between” and somehow it came out “in”?
I thought this might interest some of you because of the Peter Arno connection.
We saw this show, by the way, and were impressed by how they stitched it all together to create something comprehensible. Also by how much time and expense they put into something they was only going to run for five days.
And now they’re going to make a recording which… is also going to lose a ton of money.
