NP Comic for Thursday, Jan 23, 2025 Speaking of snake-like, Bishop appears to be working on unhinging her lower jaw. She's a bad parent, imagine that. Life is full of surprises.

Get better man.

You're not wrong.

Pipes can freeze and burst, so, yeah, especially if the inlet to the building is near or above the surface. Standing water will also freeze on the road surfaces, often in patches so your tires loose grip in interesting and challenging ways.

'You're not wrong' is not the same thing as 'You are correct'. It generally can be stated, 'You're not wrong, rather, you've missed the point, but your stated fact is correct, as far as it goes'.

According to The Time Warp, it's the pelvic thrust that really drives them insane! Seems to me though, there seems to be plenty of batty for everybody to get a helping, enough to go around and still have leftovers.

Bravo! It's good you have identified the root cause.

Interesting thing about snow, we think about water as a liquid. Snow forms high in the atmosphere where the pressure is low, when water vapor crystalizes directly into a solid form without going through a liquid phase. It can 'evaporate' (sublime) the same way, especially in the Rockies or a similar altitude. In general, almost nothing has a liquid phase if the pressure is low enough. Helium is weird in that regard, it does not have a solid phase at 14 psi (atmospheric pressure). It has a very special state near absolute zero that defies logic; basically like a liquid, but capable of weird feats like climbing out of containers. Our snow is melting in the sunlight today. We still have quite a bit in the shade, which because of the low angle of the sun in winter is considerable. Might have ice tonight. Still basically a good thing, the roads should be navigable.

We have snew. Quite a bit of snew for here, inches. I drove in it last night, returning from an event; it was scary, much lack of traction, but fortunately, for the most part, people were taking it easy. There was quite a bit of traffic for how crappy it was. Unconventionally, NC was prepared! There were spreader trucks loaded with salt sitting, waiting for an opportune time to salt. They were characteristically deficient in the whole plowing thing. To be fair, they don't actually have plows. I've seen road graders pressed into service in the past. It should all melt and disappear next week, several days in the 60 (F) forecast. (60 (C) would truly be global warming.) So, what's snew with you?

She sounds like a lovely woman (me, thinking about my ex, who should have been ex much earlier . . .)

The band thing, missing science class, and the pushing Sarah to sing rather than draw sound pretty mild compared to some of the train wrecks I've seen. It is a rare parent who has the sensitivity, skill, and patience to discern what their children have an affinity for and to properly encourage them.

<sigh> President Poopypants did not waste any time on rational thought. "Pardon the 'hostages'" "Rename the Gulf" Only 1460 days to go.

I'm not sure I still have one. Have not seen it in years. Not quite cold enough to need it. We had 22 degrees F at 9AM today. I was in a meeting with folks from DC, they had 11 degrees F.

I have a temporary plastic molar, waiting for a crown to be fabricated and installed. In the interim, I'm looking for soft foods. Found a brand of frozen tamales, Tucson Tamales; they are very good, tasty and well made (and basically no fuss to prepare). I tried chicken, pork, and green chili and cheese; the green chili and cheese is ideal for this exercise. I have also been eating fresh mushrooms fried in butter, added to mushroom soup. Yummy.

It could be that she views active talents as something that will elicit personal notice vs drawing as bookish and passive, a degree removed from being observed performing. She's not wrong; artists can gain notoriety and fame, but it's a steeper climb than performance. Slightly noteworthy that the character affinities in this CInderella story reflect their EGS characters' interests. I find it odd that Bishop's long hair is snake-like, it looks like a snake trying to eat her head. She's like two snakes, one devouring the other.

Comic for Monday, Jan 20, 2025 Presumably, Justin is still there, off panel. Seems like the doorway should go off in some weird dimension they couldn't see, no matter what. Would she trust just a smoke screen to keep intruders out? Someone is likely to stumble in if it connects to the inside of the shop. Last panel looks like she's owning being an immortal. I like the pacing, moving forward.

King Kong with an orange wig? Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Not seeing my connection.

Note that Faux News's Jesse Watters is the dumb ass whose juvenile blathering is being responded to. Pitiful. I wonder if we are still a viable nation next week.

Two more days, then chaos.

True; it doesn't rule it out, but makes it unlikely.

Dan(a) could have cast Elliot instead of Tedd, and had Cinderelliot. Missed opportunity. So there's a barest hint that Cinderella knows what's up. This could be a very non-standard Cinderella story.

Has anyone else noticed a sudden onset of 'You trade with Canada' advertisements? I wonder if we can slip actual information to The Dumpster Fire by printing short factoids on fast food wrappers in the manner of Snapple caps?

Nichelle Nichols passed away. 89 years old, not a bad run. Not a whole lot of TOS cast left, William Shatner, George Takei, and Walter Koenig.

I'm a bit older than you both (not combined). You kids get off my lawn.

Concur.
