I can’t bring myself to mock something that someone probably made out of genuine love. It makes me too sad. No matter how much of a piece of shit Charlie might have been.
Mocking it feels like the opposite of empathy. I know how much he didn’t believe in empathy, but as usual, he was wrong. So I’m displaying some. Not for him. But for whoever made this for him.
The surroundings indicate that they are in a hotel, and do not have a stove. And likely not a microwave either. Hence this setup.
I wouldn’t have said this is Far Side. This doesn’t look like his drawing style. But I could be wrong.
Also, Far Side has some great jokes. I’m a fan.
The bouncer / security guard is asking for ID (identification), but the hillbilly thinks he is asking if he has any “idee” (idea pronounced with a very strong accent). So the hillbilly is asking “idea about what?”
We’re not at the height of comedy here.
That’s not how you spell lettuce.
Wilford* Brimley. But I still enjoyed your joke. :)
Ooh, I’ll play! I’m 40 years old. I write checks every month to pay my rent, which has to be delivered to their office either by snail mail or in person (no online payment option).
The last time I saw a dedicated fax machine was my retail job in 2008.
The last time I used a deposit slip was three years ago when I deposited a gallon bag of change in person with a bank teller.
And The Handmaid’s Tale was supposed to be fiction. But here we are.
I think it might be the word “named” instead of “identified.” That and the two “as” appositive phrases prepositional phrases in a row.
I would have said god is a fascist. There’s a real “do what I’ve decided is best for you, or there will be hell to pay” (pun intended) vibe throughout his interactions with humanity.
But he does always seem to need money, so maybe you have a point.
I did once! Technically it was a participation ribbon. Picture it: Southern California, 1993, school foot race. I was 8 years old. The winners got the blue ribbon and the whatever second place was colored ribbon. And everybody else (me) got a white participation ribbon.
It seems that the reddit refugees who used/loved RIF are the ones who use Liftoff, as they are very visually similar. I fall into that group. Having never used Apollo, I don’t have a comparison on that front.
I’m interested in the alternate endings.
I guess I just assumed it was a child. Based on the skill level.
