This one is a bit tough as she explains it in the notes. Dealing with things you can control to try to feel better about things you can't control (whats happening in the US).

I can't even remember when I might obsess over things I said. I might have when young but I just expect folks to not take casual conversation all that intensly in my old age. I mean hey man, you are generally nice and if that is not enough then oh well.

The notes mention a root beer alcohol that they drank with whip cream and I really want to know what that is.

I felt that this is very shareworthy, especially that it's coming from the creator of Mimi and Eunice, Sita Sings the Blues and Seder-Masochism.

So the comments make it more clear it was about the vastness of it. This still confuses me a bit as I thought she lived on the east coast most of her life but maybe far in enough they did not visit the ocean much.

Have not seen extended family in awhile. I honestly did not realize anyplace did not have helmet laws. I personally don't like laws like that. I do like requirements for the industry. Like seat belts and air bags but not requiring their use.

This would likely still be a comic if he had asked if he could use that one but at least that would show a bit more prudence.

[dark green] Delightful weather, my friend, what a lovely day to exist

Thought this was some sort of thing about our political times and was a bit confused trying to read into it but then noticed she was in the comic and the comments seem to indicate this was something that happened.

Hey I don't normally post the saturdays. Its followed this same format. They do the sat/sun in a way were they can have a weekend. I assume anyway. The text is always something from society and unsurprisingly is a lot of political peoples statements lately. Anyway since they post exact quotes and I often miss those in the news articles even though I know about it the exact words that come out of this administration just blows me away. Its hard to explain but despite knowing trump and his kind and despite having heard the words from their mouths. Still seeing and hearing these things. Anyway decided to share a saturday one even though I normally do not.

finally getting this out today.

Here's a preview of the novel, courtesy of Archive's Wayback Machine.

Its not even a question of ethics per se to me. Many people have mentioned it but im not sure how many may not get it. Due process is a right that only works when applied to all. Its the process of discovery and determination to find out what is what. So anyone gets deported who they want if due process is not a thing. One funny thing is when the sactuary state governors were brought to dc one of the better arguments came from the chair of the committee who "grilled" pritzker with something about an illegal immigrant who killed a girl. Its like yeah as a monday morning quarter back your really doing well. It starts as a crime was committed. Due process determines if a suspect likely did it and who they are including citizenship status. Without due process a girl gets killed and a politician points to an undesirable and goes they did it now go kill them or rendition them or whateves.

I like how the guy is dressed just like her. My wife and I joke that she went after me taking chris rocks advice to make sure she got a faithful man.

Although the main part is about having kids like yourself what got me was the I can't hear without my glasses. I can relate and its sorta funny because when one sense does not work I thought the others were supposed to become sharper.

[pink, sitting on the floor, hunched, looking sad] Chronic depression is ruining my life, I barely have a will to live left, anyway I must go to this social gathering so let's get up and go I guess

This one in the notes mentions its like fights they have had and there has been at least one comic on spouse throwing something out. Because it used non family characters I assumed it was something but if it did not make it a point of telling the reader I would have never gotten the intention. Its sorta interesting how sometimes with this stuff she will insert herself talking with a stranger or obby or such and sometimes they are all just generic npc figures they use. My guess is it depends on how close they are to the topic. At least I know that type of thing has effected how I do mmo characters (how invested I am with them).

I normally do not post the comments that the author does figuring folks that are really into the comic will go to the site to see them. They tend to actually do a separate rollover and feed comment on their site. This evolved as early on there was no comments (or maybe lost assuming they changed providers over time). Anyway this one I will relate as it mentions they had planned this out (not sure to what point, on sundays she sometimes shows some really rough sketchs she does working out a comic) months ago but lost it and apparently did not have the time to remake. I don't know if they found what they had lost and got it finished or if they finally decided to just remake it as the comments are much shorter and less in depth than my rambles on the federation.

I get the feeling.

Makes me think of jesse wells with the whoever thought the deep state was the national park rangers.

The artwork here looks like what she sometimes posts on sundays.

Took me a bit to get todays. Sorta not used to talk about all our problems that did not start this year.

The marriage achievement is becoming a bit of a reoccuring. I think having kids likely helps. My wife has a knack for medical things and really its to bad she could not have went to medical or vet school.

I guess im lucky in that Im just old enough such that when cell phones became a common thing I was in my thirties and I just was not wild about them. The lack of real control over it and the creepy corpo big brother tracking. I have one but it sits somewhere mostly and I will grab it occasionally for the ability to make phone calls. Its more a camera for me than anything else. I think maybe people are confused when I say I had to run and get my phone.

Its been awhile since her goth friend has been in one.

So. She has mentioned she does things around her children two years in arrears. So like they way they are portrayed they, in reality, should be two years older. This was to give them some say in the comic. Im surprised the kid was ok with this but then again if they were like 2 and are now 4 they may not really get it. I mean the other day I saw the first comment about the older kid requesting a change so they might just be getting old enough to be picky.

Im trying to figure out how historic it will be if america continues the way it was. Has a functioning democracy ever feel like this. I mean obviously nazi germany but that democracy was so young.

I grew up with working class guys and my adult life with tech folks. I know of very few guys who want woman to dress more modestly and they are all a type of uber nerd and I think in all cases were super religious as well. Then again none of them would wear a tie without it being mandatory. Heck I barely tolerate wearing clothes in general except to protect from inclement weather.

Hey just wanted to apologize for not commenting on yesterdays. Sometimes the kids or women thing leave me with nothing to say. I know many folks would not see why I feel like I should comment but personally its something I prefer in social media. Dropping a link without comment to me is like a stranger handing me a pamphlet. Its far different for someone to cram a pamphlet advertising some movie than conversing with someone and them brining up a movie they like. I don't know why but I decided to make it a point to post the devils panties each day I am unemployed and have so far, by and large, kept up with it. Dreading the day I stop although worrying I never will.

Would have done this on june 1st but I was on a small trip.

In the comments she mentioned her daughter wanting a change to the way she looked and you have all the shading. I find that she seems to vary in detail and size and im not sure if she is experimenting or what. Then again over time the style has certainly changed. Its funny to click on the first one and see how much the experience has improved the work.

My non sequitor of the day is about media in the modern world. I personally won't pay for streaming services and don't pirate. Its to dispersed and there is the whole coporate problem in the world today. Its funny how like a comedian could talk about a popular broadcast show before this millenium knowing that a large majority of the audience had seen it and of those who have not a large majority have heard of it or encountered it in some way.

Anyone know what Aang is. I see a voltron like figure in the background behind bluey so I thought it might be that but then again there is a deathstar.

I wonder if I said things like this to people when young?

Five is about as far back as my memories go although its so far back its hard to say how accurate they may or may not be.

Shes had at least one like this before. Granted the dream was different but as creepy.

The notes on the site indicate they want to switch out their gas car for electric (the have two cars now and one is electric). I hope she is not pointing at a musk mobile!

Much of this artists stuff is political but much is just stuff in her (sometimes family or friends) life. Its funny to because the folks I have come across who vote right tend to be the I don't want to talk politics and then they want to make everything political.

So both my wife and I wish we could transfer the knowledge this comic provides as I would have talked with her to get one just after we were married and if she knew she might have hit planned parenthood at 18. The author is I think something like 10 years younger than us. Maybe a bit less. Its the type of thing that makes you want to live in the future. I came from a family of seven kids and I know my parents did not really get condoms until late in life and I had this conversation with an elderly lady when I was in college who grew up in the south and was pregnant when she had believed the stork brought babies. Drives me crazy the folks in my country who want to be like the past. Of course what they want is for lesser folk to live like the past while they reap the fruits of a modern life.

comment on the site is "power is quiet"
