    Comic for Wednesday, May 28, 2025

    Merry Cringemas, Hope! Cringe Cringle will be coming down your chimney tonight, so be sure to leave out milk and cookies!

    Edward seems to have picked up his empathy stat, that's helpful.

    I think what Hope is going through is why Immortals don't remember their past lives. Although I'd guess that Voltaire might be fine with his. He's practically an Immortal aberration. 

    The big question is, "Is Hope's empathy and regret a sign that she can be different than her past, of is the regression due to age inevitable." Perhaps having real friends can give her a different future?

    Well, that sort of depends on the game system.  If, for some ungodly reason, you were playing Tractics, a one would be pretty close to an auto-pass.  The more I read those rules, the more I realize exactly how far war game design has come since the 70s.

    Yes, it depends on the game system; you posted on the D&D (And general fantasy stuff) topic. In D&D, as you well know, a 1 is a critical fail. You punish dice for this. (Not you in particular, a generalized 'you' meaning people at large. ETSY sells dice dunce chairs and time out chairs for when they roll ones, and jail style cages.) Don't let them get away with this slack performance! And surely, don't let them promise you they're "Never going to let you down", when you know one time when you are counting on them to keep you safe, they're going to bungle the roll. 

    If they really wanted to do the job right, why do they even have ones on themselves?

    The cult of personality that follows him is strong enough to assure any Republican politician who would dare oppose him will lose their next primary.

    That may be changing, he's getting more and more Republican push back.

    If we survive this, I pity the idiots who threw away their principles to kiss his butt. There should be a grand accounting, and I think there will be.

    So, at the end of last week the deranged orange howler baboon threw a hissy fit because Greenland made a thirty year deal with a French company for mining rights to some of the minerals that he wanted. A deal he could have had just by asking politely for it at any point before he started talking about his hostile takeover of Greenland. As a result of said hissy fit, he announced a fifty percent tariff on all of EU starting June 1st. The EU responded by saying that unless he returned to his original deadline of July 9th, there would be no further trade talks. He immediately folded and cancelled his sudden tariff change.

    Your comparison is unfair. Orange howler baboons do far less damage, and have more self control and self awareness. You need to specify the degree and type of derangement for this comparison to work. Also, there is evidence that the Dumpster Fire is actually a male of sorts, marginal though he may be, so hissy fit is not what he's having. I feel your pain here, I have trouble making worthwhile comparisons to The Dumpster Fire, he stretches my ability to express revulsion.

    Kudos to Greenland for making it obvious to even a moron that they are capable of functioning without his 'benevolence'. (Although the key moron in question is damned dense, so I'm not putting any money on that getting through to him at a cognitive level. Which is fine, from what we've all seen, he does not operate at a cognitive level anyway.)

    That man is absolutely the weakest, pettiest, most cowardly and incompetent bungling imbecile to ever disgrace the Oval Office.

    . . . and he's had a lot of competition; see our pre-Civil War era, Andrew Johnson right after that war, and the Republicans from the early 1920s through the early thirties. He does dumb it down even from those.

    And that is before mentioning his ham-handed disregard of the Constitution and the rights of the People of the United States.

    Disregard for law is his milieu. He is not a business man, he is not a politician, he is a con artist. And he cares about no one, not even his own family.

    I fear for all my friends and family there, not to mention all LGBTQI* people in the US.

    Indeed. He has cut all Federal funding for trans medication; a cartoon I follow, the artist expressed a page of hopelessness for his own future. The religious right is eating it up.

    Anyone who has any dealings with the US from elsewhere at this point is asking for trouble. Dumpster is making the US a pariah state similar to North Korea, and it would be best to be aware of that while he is in the driver's seat.

    I like the pacing of this comic, that it got out of whatever that was that the last bunch were stuck in and moved things forward by some quantity of minutes. The important part is they are for the moment unstuck. Let's hope it persists.

    It appears that they are often under an armpit.   Might not have a nipple, however.

    I was wondering if it ever really happened. A third middle breast (not shown, talked about) was a minor plot point in another movie; I can't remember which one. The friend of the protagonist falls in love with another character who has a third breast; IIRC it removes her as a hurdle to something the protagonist needed to do. Don't recall, it wasn't a great move.

    Why am I flashing in That Hooker in the Arnold version of Total Recall?

    <    google>  seems she was in the remake as well.

    In the original, she was . . . well centered. 

    I looked it up, long ago, and they used a prosthetic. Maybe that's obvious, but I wasn't sure.

    Have not seen the remade movie.

    They sell green and purple ones as cat toys.  I'd be careful, however, because a lot of the green ones are higher power than the red ones and can cause eye damage.

    There's the power of the device, but also the wavelength. Red is on the lower energy end of the spectrum per photon, and blue and violet the high end. Blue will do eye damage, which is why filter coatings that attenuate blue are popular. Computer screens and sunny days tend to have a lot of blue.

    In any case, don't stare at the laser; even a relatively benign one can do damage.

    She was pretty hot.

    In that suit, she probably was.

     

    Several women have been cast in the role, and they mostly all looked pretty good; It's one of the top requirements to play the part.

    <google how many nipples do cats have>

     

    Quote

    Cats don't have a consistent number of nipples. On average they'll have six or eight, but some have as few as four and others have an odd number of nipples.

    When do we get an authentic Cat Woman?

    I'm amused that it had the “sabotage” thing of making her a cat girl, like “big boobs” did on Elliot when he changed for Ashley.  She must not have been done with her changing.

    "Cat Girl" and "Big Boobs" would be interesting. How many would she have? Sounds painful.

    "I've got the 'i' of the tiger, and the 'c' of the cat, a 't' from the kitten to lead off;

    I've got the 'l' of the lion, and a 'k' since he's king, and an 'e' that I took from a cheetah.

    (That one was hard, because I had to run, but I caught him and then it was easy.)

    They're all jumbled up, but I sort them all out, the word that they spell is just tickle."

    Meh, can’t miss what I’ve never had (booze).

    I concur, it is no thrill. I drink in social situations to fit in, but usually one beer or cider. I have been drunk in my much younger days, it was not fun. (Well, on one occasion it was. But we sobered up the next day.)

    What sucks is the mass quantities of medications. There are always side effects.

    Comic for Friday, May 23, 2025

    I wonder at what point in their reboot lives immortals are able to vote on their new rules? They must need to grow in awareness beforehand; Hope seemed very child-like in her initial cameos. She is apparently not fully in touch with changes in magic and changes in the rules. Yet, Pandora passed on more knowledge that an immortal normally does. Makes me wonder how they even function.

    Other than raising that emergence of cognizance issue, today's comic didn't move the plot forward, did it?

    Hope 'becoming presentable' - she seems to think copying someone else's fashion is safer ground, yet she already looked OK. If she wanted to garner sympathy from Edward, the pigtails she wore last night might have served better.

    <google><wiki read> It was that long ago they stopped?  People can drink that weren't alive when the last one was made. Yeah, I feel, no pun intended, old.

    I like the metric you used. :P

    I'm mid 60s and can't drink as well.

     

    Is this like the protagonist Ted Striker in Airplane! that kept splashing his face whenever he tried to drink, no matter what it was?

    It bothers me that there are now a lot of people who have no recollection of Olds. as a car.

    So many car brands and makers have bitten the dust. 

    Have you ever seen a Nash Rambler from 'Beep, Beep!'? I've seen at least one, maybe a small handful.

    I never heard of the Tucker until the movie came out.

    Fozzie Bear can no longer easily access his natural environment, a Studebaker; even the Avanti has gone by the wayside.

    You can no longer get a Ford Thunderbird, but it was long past the Fun, Fun, Fun T-Bird of it's early years anyway.

    Fifth girl raises an important, if Machiavellian, point. If what you care about is becoming Queen, any Crown Prince who isn’t abusive is acceptable, and it’s actually a bonus if he is easy to manipulate/dominate, since you can rule the country by controlling him.

    She does indeed, and if she is competent, she could be welcome.

    I saw G Wendt on a celebrity episode of Weakest Link.  

    He was the first contestant voted off. 

    I didn't understand until the host summed up his performance. 

    He answered all of his questions correctly and was the only player to bank money for the team. 

    The one thing you could not afford to be on that game was competent.

    Oddly, this is one of the best explanations of current US politics I've seen, though you said nothing about politics per se . . .

    Dan's art is actually amazing. Six new characters introduced, and there is a sense of each one's demeanor; the first four are likeable and are representing the bulk of the crowd's response (Elliot's reluctance was already obvious in the previous comic). The fifth girl is a classic bitch, although she's not wrong. The sixth is a horn dog, if that floats your boat; she has yet another point of view which is valid from where she stands.

    Earthworms do not seem confident to me. "Impale yourself on that hook, then we'll go catch a fish." I have yet to encounter a worm that does this voluntarily.
