Briliant! Especially nice that "Pearls" appears before this one in the rideside.net online view.
Posted by tendiamonds on 2004-11-17 20:30:19 +0000
Now, I know that Patsis does Pearls, and you know that Patsis does Pearls, but do all rideside readers know that? Perhaps the comics board should have an author credit?
A tour de farce, let me count the ways:
1) Belgium / Hobbiton / Hoboken as imaginary places
2) Satchel's naive belief in Germany
2) Poland!
3) Daimler mismanagement of Chrysler
Wow. I also forgot to mention the Boca Grande reference I saw a few weeks ago.

I love that you imply that you do get it... or are you implying that you don't either, I love that, too... Natalie doesn't get it either, and I love her.

Is the t-shirt a fagen if the strip is actually mentioning H2G2?
Posted by frame609 on 2005-05-02 18:21:44 +0000
It is, but not on this board.

I love it when he confuses [url=http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=diarrhetic&x=0&y=0]diarrhetic[/url] with [url=http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=diuretic&x=0&y=0]diuretic[/url] and then misuses the word for a joke.
Even with the warning, he got me. I actually chortled.

very appropro with the new "potty break" thread.
I've noticed I've been going for an absurd amount of toilet humor as of late. It might be puerile, but if it makes you laugh and it feels good...

I'm affraid we're going to have another whole week of nonsense.
Posted by rladew on 2005-10-04 18:43:16 +0000
It brings to mind that old joke you can use when @ a Chinese restaurant, and it comes time for everyone to read their fortunes. I usually offer the knee-jerk "Help, Help! I'm being held hostage in a Chinese Fortune Cookie Factory!"
It would be funny if Conley made a covert plea for his readers to free him from his captors...

Ahh yes, self deprecating vegetarian humor.
Best vegetarian bash I've ever heard was in a rapeman song "Why don't you snuff it , man? plant eating poos-ay!"
The DF Wallace link from Gourmet magazine tgl put up about the Maine Lobster festival was interesting in the "non-vegetarian-expressing-his-guilt-over-watching-mass-quantities-of-lobster-being-killed-for-his-enjoyment" kind of way.

The usage of "Lord" is not necessarily Christian. Although, I can't think of another monotheistic religion that refers to the God as "Lord". Usually "Jesus Christ" comes after "Lord", so, yeah he is.

3rd, 4th & 5th frame = astounding.
'The Clapper' (all week) and OJ Simpson fagan.
I could do without Wilco's last line; the picture is perfect alone, but now I'm just being cynical...
Posted by dawnbixtler on 2006-04-08 00:50:00 +0000
I think we all try an educate everyone. Isn't that what rs.n is for, to show others different news stories, music, art and film that people might not know about on their own?
My gandparents were teachers, my mom's a teacher, and I have even been teaching formally recently. I think when people understand things it makes them and the world better. Certainly more peaceful.
Were you being sacrcastic, NP, when you said Doonesbury confused you?
I could do a daily for rs.n explaining the day's Doonesbury, considering it has been one of the most important and longest running comics.
Posted by dawnbixtler on 2006-04-13 15:20:43 +0000
It's been a frustrating week for Fuzzy.
Posted by tendiamonds on 2006-04-18 12:52:41 +0000
This week's gimmick is much funnier than the last two weeks.
Who is Wilco talking to in the last panel? Excellent depiction there, by the way.
Posted by MF DU on 2006-06-15 15:33:54 +0000
From a body-positioned-in space (proprioception?) perspective, this is a brilliant 'Get Fuzzy'
Besides not knowing who Wilco is talking to, bucky's head is kinked and turned the same way as Wilco's so it seems like their attention is both focused on the same mysterious entity.
Seems like some weird comic strip symmetry...
Posted by MF DU on 2006-06-15 16:04:14 +0000
actually, on second look, Bucky is probably looking @ Satchel Pooch. (is Bucky calling Satchel "Wink" or the mysterious entity?)
hmmm
Posted by tendiamonds on 2006-06-15 16:49:17 +0000
I think he's looking to where Satchel was supposed to be, as is Bucky, but then Darb didn't know how to draw Satchel over there, or it just didn't work, so he moved Satchmo over to where he is, (note that Satch could have been added in easily there) but was so proud of his drawing of Pinky (as he should be) so he left him in there.
Posted by MF DU on 2006-06-15 17:10:34 +0000
whatever it is: most strips dont reward you for paying attention like this one does, thats 'fo sho'!
I'm assuming Bucky is referring to Satch as Wink, since he's the ostensible host.
Ding-a-ling, I knows it! is clearly a veiled reference to Wait, wait, don't tell me. Although, maybe it should be Ding, ding, I knows it.
Looking forward to possible The Office pub-quiz fagens in upcoming strips.
Posted by tommy on 2006-06-15 23:00:47 +0000
God damn, I missed the Wink Martindale reference on first read.
JOKER!!!...JOKER!!!...U.S. History
Is that a "We Believe Floyd" t-shirt? Is Conley a testosterone doper apologist?
That is most definitely a Chuck Close print in the background of panel #3. Awesome.
Posted by dawnbixtler on 2006-08-17 15:42:11 +0000
That the first "all dayer" joke I've ever heard. Never even heard it during college...
Anyone else?
Posted by tendiamonds on 2006-10-23 16:48:31 +0000
Can't find the thread, but this answers the question about the bumper sticker, eh?
Posted by tommy on 2006-10-23 18:44:22 +0000
No, actually. I get the pun. What I didn't understand is why this pun in particular gets its own bumper sticker. Why not "Rectum? Nearly killed 'im!" or "It's 2:30... time to go to the dentist!".
Just looked it up now. Apparently it's a self-help thing.
Posted by tendiamonds on 2006-10-24 00:07:19 +0000
Dick.
I know the pun. You know the pun. I know you know the pun. I'm trying to make a joke here about the coincidence of the pun coming up in one of our sparse comics. You accuse me of being clueless.
Speaking of sparse comics. How about Rudy Park? I haven't read it much, but it's the same author as Candorville which is fantastic, but to technically complicated for our beloved sysop.
Posted by ConorClockwise on 2006-10-24 00:30:49 +0000
"to technically complicated..." is not as complete verb.
TOo?

I still don't know what question "denial is a river" answers.
Posted by tommy on 2006-10-24 01:15:06 +0000
Good joke.
Loser.
Posted by tendiamonds on 2006-10-24 12:08:52 +0000
See, that's perfect. Straightforward. You think I'm a loser. Say it.
Asshole.
Posted by tendiamonds on 2006-10-24 12:11:06 +0000
The line is supposed to be sonething along the lines of, "Denial is nothing more than a river in Egypt" and is supposed to be a rebuttal to someone who is hopelessly in denial. It's not that funny.
I prefer, however, "Denail isn't getting you anywhere but Cairo" which, of course, isn't funny either.
I know the pun. You know the pun. I know you know the pun.
I though you were refering to some other question on some other thread here on Ye Olde Messageboard. However, you were refering to the question _in_the_strip_. Aha!
Which doesn't change things: Tommy is a dick.

Hey sysadmin,
Could you give us a HTML-like tag that will be replaced by a randomly-generated vulgar insult when we hit "post"?
<insult />
It helps if you are a "cat" or a "dog" person. Mostly "cat", however.
GF is like a platable Garfield.
Although, Bucky is a great character in the same way Stewie on Family Guy is a great character.
Posted by mahatma chani on 2007-02-26 18:16:47 +0000
Family Guy is a bad show. It pretends to be smart by overwriting scripts to include non sequiturs that hope to come across as witty allusions. Pass.
Posted by ConorClockwise on 2007-02-26 18:42:25 +0000
I'll agree that the non sequitors are a bit heavy-handed. But, probably the logical conclusion for Simpson-style references? If Fagen was a TV show, it'd be Family Guy.
Whatever, it's a cartoon, I find it enjoyable.
Posted by tendiamonds on 2007-02-26 23:40:55 +0000
Excellent brevity.
Posted by Epoisses on 2007-02-27 00:10:40 +0000
If Fagen was a TV show, it'd be hopelessly self-glorifying, insanely complicated, and cancelled. So it'd be more like Twin Peaks.
Saw a "VH" in the Euro. country identifier style the other day. I guess it could mean "Van Halen", but it had a Vermont green background. I took it to mean "Vermont New Hampshire", which I thought was cool. If one can consider those Euro. country identifier style stickers cool (and I don't). Lamest ones have an explanation of the initials in smaller type along the bottom. "Oh, MHD is for Marblehead, is it?"
