Absolutely true. They really are more slow emotion based "day in the life" when printed in a newspaper. I mean I imagine they would have to be just for how many you make when doing them.

Pearls before swine, Zits, Mutts, Baby Blues, Lockhorns, etc and so on. Really rely on simple stories sometimes without much of a punch line. Even Hagar was mostly about how vikings could still have dream homestead blues and dysfunctional marriage as a punchline.

I think the best long running comics connect to that sense of empathy and familiarity.

They just needed a little bit more. One more sweet hit of that cash before they will get out of the way. And it's not like they are doing anything young people wouldn't do and they will live long enough to get their win eventually. /S

Man the lead levels in their corpses are probably gonna poison the soil for generations (I'm hoping it was lead and not just societal selfishness)

Neat. Then we all panic. Force the rule change back and Biden goes out a martyr hero instead of a lackluster shill who slowly shambled his way towards oppression for his constituents.

Yeah... I mean.. bad decisions to "fix" the country post crash followed by the absolutely nauseating problematic laws and decisions since, like citizens united and eased FTC regulations.

And all that before I was even close to being able to vote.
But here we have the boomers and silent generation demanding they know best and will never die and their kids in Gen X just sitting back and trying to make their money at the expense of generations after claiming they "feel sorry" for us without even lifting a finger to help...

Honestly fuck a few generations even though it doesn't help against the real issue of the rich but there was a lot of adults in the room ignoring it because they still felt comfortable well past the signs.

Agreed.

We can't say we must do everything to stop Trump and then shrug and say hold your nose and vote for the guy that's polling poorly.
That's not trying everything that's people in power wanting one outcome that are willing to risk everything they say they don't want because the scared masses should hopefully fall in line without even a backup plan for it not working.

This isn't trying and doing everything to stop a fascist dictator taking power this is capitalist conservatives trying to stretch out their win for a little bit longer using what they think is a sure win. This can only ever end poorly even if it's just another 4 years later from now.

Using existing means to cancel fraudulent loans for non accredited schools that went under or people who were already supposed to have their loans forgiven by standing law but hadn't because people like literally Joe Biden have given the keys to the kingdom to the business that want to make money more and have been going unpunished for screwing over the general populace.

They aren't real actually helpful policies it's minor enforcement of things that he and others of the major parties have ignored being broken for the bank accounts of their donors.

Yeah we have a lot more in common with pre third Reich Germany than people want to talk about and it's not just a voting for a crazy shouting lunatic thats making the comparison so eerily similar.

The staunch refusal to try and go left and actually make things better and give people to rally behind is gonna do a lot of the heavy lifting of moving people to the right and it's not appreciated or understood by the people who make the memes about voting for Biden regardless of anything.

Nice! My zinnias are all starting up too as well as my super slow growing Dahlias. Really getting towards full flower season.

I always loved this comic.

Seriously, it's like being back in college but the botany geeks are pulling out some good jokes.

As some great Talking Heads once put it.

"Same as it ever was."

I mean they gave him crappy broken boats to get the asshole out of Europe after he offended most of the monarchies. They essentially gave him the same survival rate as Neil Armstrong and figured it might advance their country the same way. But somehow mister pear with a nipple shaped planet came back and with resources so... Tolerated until they once again couldn't.

I'm starting a test of using the grow bags with a good amount of perlite in it.

Why does it have to be on Wikipedia to be true?

Here's her album you can also find it and some of her covers she did on discogs.

Because before she wanted to be president Jill Stein was using her wealth to try and be a folk rock hero

I mean the woman who supposedly paid her own way to go to a celebration of a Russian propaganda news station gala, to promote "peace" where she got to meet Putin and afterwards bragged/complained about how she only gets air time over there?

And partially to collect more money from Putin for a third folk rock album.

Edit: For anyone else that wants in on or doubts that trainwreck here is her second album on bandcamp

Yeah just realized you can actually see Lasso in the background of the Paint Bucket comic when rereading them too.

So what are the chances he burned himself to invert his colors to be able to survive the magic wand?

Why is this so epic?

Wow that's some projection. You are reading deeply between the lines to find your take on that one.

I immediately got it as "why would the people in power ever make it easier for those not" but hey why bother with nuanced takes when the Internet will allow you to be angry at your specific beliefs as if they are the only truth, right?
