    Well, that was unexpected.

    I wonder if she eats live rodents?

    FWIW, I think Arthur is making a terrible mistake. Tedd would at worst struggle with the issues and deal with feelings. Tedd mislead will see this as betrayal, betrayal of trust at a minimum. Then they will hold their cards close, be careful with what they disclose, withhold information until confident that it will not be misused. So Arthur is in effect solving a short term non issue while setting up a future alienation.

    There is a certain illogic to this. Nanase discouraged Ellen showing affection in public; in comic time, not that long ago; months. It is not at all clear, to me, anyway, how over that she (Nanase) is. She seems committed to Ellen and dating, to accepting that she prefers girls, and she is out to her mom, more or less, and her close friends. Beyond that, how open is she? Is she still halfway in the closet? 

    All of which might lead to her reaction in today's comic. Kind of a "We have met the enemy, and he is us" moment.

    Ok, to whom is Arthur speaking over his shoulder?

    AD Liefeld?  Sybil?  Lavender?  Amanda?  One of the established agents?  Any of them would be so plausible as to make a delayed reveal almost pointless.

    Sybil seems to be the second person in most of his office scenes. While she seems modeled on being a secretary, she seems to be more, in a 'speaks for arthur sense. She seems to know how to get things done in their organization. It would be plausible to not show her at this point and to expect us to assume it's her. Of course, it could be someone else, but more evidence would be needed.

    AD Liefeld does not seem to 'hang out' with Arthur nor Edward. They've had minimal interaction with him and have gone out of their way on those occasions.

    Lavender is in Edward's circle. Amanda is in Dr. Gehrman's circle.

    I don't really think who the other person is has much significance as a plot point. We'll see.

    I wonder if the Q&A crew will become regular cast when the cast moves on to college? Ted should see them in the lab setting.

    First time I listened, voluntarily,  to a whole rap song. 

    Yeah, I hear you. Epic Rap Battles of History are pretty good, too.

    I like that they had most of the cast that's still alive.

    Short list, more or less in order

    • Blue Oyster Cult
    • The Warning
    • REO Speedwagon
    • Styx
    • Rush
    • Savatage
    • DragonForce
    • Warren Zevon
    • Simon & Garfunkel 
    • BabyMetal
    • John Denver

    It is an odd list, for being fairly varied. It's like points of interest, with huge gaps, and a slant toward metal.

    I've heard of The Warning, but can't place any tunes. I don't know Savatage, nor DragonForce, nor BabyMetal.

    The Warning - Mexican chicks cover band. I need to check this out.

    Savatage - First called Avatar, OK, that rings a bell. TSO is a branch-off. Cool, I like TSO.

    DragonForce - I was expecting something like Gwar, but no, they're a conventional metal band based in London.

    BabyMetal - is a Japanese kawaii metal band - another girl band. I see a trend here. I not only have not heard of the band, I have not heard of the genre. Although, Japan, shouldn't be surprised. I like the description of the three members, vocal and dance, scream and dance, scream and dance. This strikes me as an acquired taste. Clicking links can be hazardous to your mental health.

    Only Simon with Garfunkel?

    I would have bet money that Festivus was from Seinfeld only.  Given that the son of the "creator" of it wrote the Seinfeld episode, in a way it was.  Of course, to be honest, I have watched the Seinfeld show, much less that episode, so I was a bit hazy about the details.

    I agree, I thought they made it up, too, until I read the article. I have not seem a lot of Seinfelds, but oddly enough, I have seen that one.

    Why didn't I take your word for it!  While I don't need ear bleach, it's pretty bad.  Please tell me that this wasn't a hit.  If it is, I fear for modern pop music.

    It was a hit, also evidenced by the multiple parodies. Oh, they acknowledge Hip Hop elements in the Wiki article. It's really not that bad, it won't be on my play list, but I don't cringe when it plays on the radio.

    What is "good pop music"? Who do you like?

    OK, the covers/spoof versions were better.  But with 3 of them that tells me that this was at least  slightly popular.   I fear for the current state of music.

    Actually the Home Free version was not a spoof, although some of their stylings are spoofish.

    Compare:

    Man of Constant Sorrow

    The Gambler

    Sea Shanty Medley

    They have a good selection of Christmas music.

    This got me thinking about media coverage of other holidays of this season. It's pretty sparse.

    Hanukkah gets an occasional nod, perhaps a menorah is pictured, but the only coverage I recall is the South Park episode with the dreidel song.

    Futurama has a Chanukkah zombie. The spelling varies, I suppose because not only are the letters different in Hebrew, but the phonemes are as well, and there is a sound of clearing your throat that does not translate well; Arabic has the same issue.

    You'd think Hollywood would make an action movie about the Maccabean Revolt, seems like a ready made plot for the season.

    Kwanzaa gets even sparser coverage, which is fair, it is a fairly recently invented event, first celebrated in 1966. It has roots in African traditions and celebrations.

    Futurama has a Kwanzaa Bot. He hands out a book, "What the Hell is Kwanzaa?"

    Then there's Festivus, made widely known through Seinfeld, taking on a bit of life of it's own. "Festivus for the rest of us".

    (My Christmas tree is even easier than a Festivus pole. It is fiber optic, about two feet tall, USB. I plug an adapter into the wall, plug in the tree, and it's done.)

    I see a need for a Pastafarian celebration, featuring a pirate-themed family gathering, especially with global warming being what it is. Choice of what to have for dinner would be a slam dunk. Heavy drinking should be involved, to celebrate the creation of the world. Hmm, I may have to talk my family in to this ...

    It's a parody of All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor. It was suggested by the circumstance, I don't claim it's a good parody.

    Warning, I will not be supplying ear bleach it you choose to click the link. Proceed at your own risk!

    The message is a positive statement of self assertion. The video adds a lot to understanding the lyrics.

    Definitely not rap. I wouldn't call it dub-step either. It does seem to have dancing in mind, though.

    Weird, there is a Home Free cover. (Please tell me you know Home Free.)

    Here's a Star Wars spoof version. Another, a chemistry one.
