I think this is my favorite Far Side panel
Not a sentient pile of alley cats in a trench coat. You ask a lotta questions.

What I love every time I see this comic is that Alex knew he would be persecuted for his art, and has accepted it.

- red
- no gender
- just an outline, maybe a bit tall?
- it was around the size of a softball
- the table was circular and small for a table, like maybe two could sit at it. I didn’t imagine a material.
- I imagined more about the ball than anything else, it was made of a spongy material like in those sponge brushes for painting, and it was red. The person was a complete blank slate. The table was only circular, nothing else.

the whole “Deckard’s a replicant thing” is lame because it ruins his character arc if he is. IMO the whole film is a comparison of the human Deckard who coldly murders replicants without mercy (like a machine) vs the replicant Roy who kills with passion, and eventually grants mercy to his enemy. The replicant is “more human than human”, and the human is more machine-like than the machine. Deckard’s story is going from a robot-man to someone who actually feels alive and concern for someone other than himself at the end.

The suspects are aged between 30 and 49 and are studying in Busan
now, education is possible at any age, but really?
yeah, I know. I just get pissed off whenever I hear a parent talking like this
“Is that hundred grand a gift… or a loan?”
Neither, it’s an obligation. You don’t get to choose whether or not to provide for your children as you would a gift, nor can you expect a “return” on your “investment”.

Not sure it’s used properly here. They seem to be using it as a synonym for harmless. A woobie is harmless, but that’s secondary to their pitifulness.

I also prefer the 2012 art to the modern style, but if Mike likes to draw the way he does now then good for him. He’s clearly demonstrated his artistic prowess over the years and I’d guess wanted to make his own exaggerated style. It’s definitely instantly recognizable as his
PA refers to Penny Arcade, a gaming culture webcomic that’s run since '98 that’s linked by Corngood up there. Tycho Brahe (besides being a 16th centure Danish astronomer) is name of one of the main characters in the comic as well as the pseudonym of it’s main writer, Jerry Holkins.
The one where ISIS exists and attacked Moscow’s Crocus City Hall theater in March. IIRC the Taliban and ISIS aren’t best friends because ISIS sees them as resting on their laurels and wanting to stabilize their control of Afghanistan rather than expanding and building an Islamic State.
