You are Calvin, you are going to be impressed with yourself. No other reason to master anything.

I think the best use of the anachronism trope is a Knights Tale’s use of music. I know it’s his isn’t a twist ending so it’s a bit away from the question but the use of modern songs in a medieval setting should rip us out of context but it really works.

God Damn it, Donut! Stop sewing patches on Carls vest!

Sigourney Weaver has that effect on people. I knows because I’m people.

Hey it was the ‘80s. Cars didn’t hit a hundred bucks till the ‘90s I think.

I was thinking the same thing. It’s the window frame I think, it’s like strip inside the strip.

Actually I’m not sure. Usually a beat panel is the second to last with no action in it at all. But in this one both middle panels have an action (the car going by and then Calvin & Hobbs running) but the framing with action outside the window isolates us just the right amount to still feel like a beat is being taken between the action of the car disaster and moms realisation.
I imagine if I was drawing this I’d have had the car and Calvin both go by in the second panel and the third just being mom thinking. But Watterson such a great artist he can create that feeling of a moment of stillness without it really being there.

This is one of my favourite C&H strip. The beat panel just kills me.

I’d love to get a rerun of BioShock as I’ve never tried the remastered version. Also I’m currently listening to the third book of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. It’s pretty good but I feel like the author has deeper plans for the whole series that are only getting trickled out at this point.

Cheetah’s went through a genetic bottleneck somewhere between ten and twelve thousand years ago. There may have been less than ten left at one point. Dating the Cheetah Genetic Bottleneck
My totally silly theory is that humans in fact where adopting kits at that time and help saved the species, and that’s why they’re so almost domesticated.

Yeah Cena has grown in leaps and bounds as an actor. Even the growth in his skill from The Suicide Squad to season 2 of Peacemaker is really visible, and that’s because of the work he’s put in to keep up with some of the other actors. He’s great case study in someone with some natural talent who’s pushing themselves to become good. But yeah I’m bit biased as he’s the only guy I could see playing Carrot in a Discworld Guards movie and I really want that.

Yes but that’s the point. The Overton Window has moved to where the discussion of shooting a CEO can be seen as a heroic action and pretty high B-list celebrity can joke about how the guy accused of the shooting is his second favourite Luigi. And personally I think that’s a good thing.

It was directed by James Cameron so of course it was a nightmare to film. His films are almost always big oof. But god damn especially the director’s cut Special Edition is amazing.

Is it? I’m on a Lemmy instance and I use Voyager as my daily drive, so I’m pretty behind on Piefed. But that does sound like a good idea.
