There’s a lot of opining these days about what happened to men, because in schools they’re slipping behind their female classmates. Maybe the women are just doing the studies wrong? Nope, on second thought, this sort of thinking is probably what’s wrong with men.
Either way, the fun of this strip is that both sexes can read it however they want and be angry.
I always found it interesting that television networks would do black history programs on Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday and in February to show they cared, but then basically forget the rest of the year. They had to realize how transparent that was, and so they had to realize we all knew. I always figured that was probably a bigger insult than doing nothing at all.
I think the sexes often view one another through strange prisms. I hear men refer to women in terms of a game or sport, and women refer to men with shopping terms. Of course, when the man no longer coordinates well like a good purse, they want to return him. And you know how mad men get when they feel like a video game is cheating? Wait, on second thought, that would make a good future strip.
Giving your child a Biblical name can often be a good thing. Names like Mary, John, Joseph, Sarah, etc. are common and easy to remember. Of course, there are more difficult Biblical names. Methuselah is certainly one, but I’m more intrigued by the type of person who isn’t very religious and chooses a name at random. I can’t wait to have a student named Beelzebub.
When you think about the lyrics, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” is actually a pretty creepy song. Still, it isn’t exactly giving children nightmares like “O Tannenbaum.” Thank you, Germans.
For those confused, Rick’s line is a reference to the Saw film franchise.
We should be ashamed of this strip. We are.
This one was sort of fun because we got to bring back two older characters in Dr. Zane and Victoria (even if Dr. Zane had briefly appeared last week). The idea of the layered multiple personality amused me. What would you do if you had another personality, who happened to be famous, but who also happened to be a superhero? Probably drink.
