The Powers That Be have been begging me to submit some content (at least that’s how I take the repeated references to a lack of articles) so I went through my slush file. I have a hand full of crosswords/acrostic ideas but I think I’m done with those, the crosswords are too much work and you people can’t grasp acrostics. I also found a file for my “libertarian hero or complete asshole” series but I think I jumped the shark with the inaugural offering, no one is a bigger asshole than Matt Dillon. Then I found some old storyboards from when I was messing around with animation. The project turned out to be far beyond my abilities or attention span but I thought I could turn those storyboards into a comic series easily enough, so that’s what you’re getting.*
Introducing…
*Also I figure that I since I gave shit constructive criticisms to BP, MOJO, CPRM, UCS and any one else who dared put forth their creative output here that I should at least give them a chance to return the favor.
I’m a little upset that you used my average day as your first comic! J/k, cool stuff.
Thanks, I had no control over the scheduling, you’ll have to complain to SP about that.
And risk those rusty can lids.
No thanks.
True fact: SP and OMWC are delightful people who are wonderful to have dinner with.
SP is very nice, just like Mrs. Hobbit. OMWC is a curmudgeon, just like me. We had a wonderful evening together and look forward to a visit in the future.
I’ve dined with SP and WebDominatrix, but have yet to meet OMWC in the (rice paper) flesh.
Can confirm. TPTB are surprisingly functional in social situations.
surprisingly functional in social situations would be my online dating title if I were still single.
I politely asked for a particular time slot when I submitted “Prince Errant” and they obliged.
Every day is Groundhog Day now.
That’s how they screw ya, with the to be continued episodes. Makes you tune in again the following week.
I just figured he lost the plot.
Following week may be a bit optimistic, took me ten years to make this first one.
How can you sell advertising slots without a schedule?

I think this strip needs a talking car. Or a talking stuffed animal.
If you want to you can pretend they are all stuffed animals, or muppets. I didn’t intend it but after the fact as I reviewed it the second guy (the one that asks Jack what the problem is) reminded me of Rufus’s avatar and now I think of him as Rufus even though canonically he doesn’t have a name.
That was funny. Keep them coming!
This. Gripping story line.
More like a clenching story line.
There was a bit of that.
Dude, it’s NOT needlepoint. It’s COUNTED CROSS STITCH. I hate needlepoint. /grumble

OMG. He’s getting a rim job !
From a dude….
I like both needlepoint and cross stitch. They serve different purposes as therapy and as decor.
I have a needlepoint stretched into a standing articulated frame for when I’m in the mood. I will finish it eventually but it takes a while (every bit gets stitched; no canvas or matrix shows).
Cross stitch can be done much more quickly depending on design. And it has some brain calming appeal: 3over, 4 down with this color. Then 4 over 2 down with the next, etc.
I honestly don’t like the look of needlepoint. That might be because of early over-exposure to plastic canvas Kleenex boxes.
I like other types of specialized embroidery (especially goldwork and tufted couching), but needlepoint is so not my cuppa.
I like how we can’t see what the guy is doing.
Part 2 includes the climax?
OT: How do you deal with a traditional breakfast? I don’t mind all the dishes, but first thing in the morning I want western style.
And we are excluding the natto! I’ve yet to acquire that taste.
Ideal Japanese Breakfast
Good way to start the day. Always gives me a shot of energy. Usually, I’m a bread and coffee guy.
I noped out at “kelp”. I had a Japanese roommate and she cooked kelp. ?
Konbu? That’s a basic building block for lots of the cuisine. It gives umami to lots of dishes.
Try “aojiru” if you really wanna ?.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aojiru
That is a lot of work. Also, that dashi stock must be very salty.
For the miso soup? Similar saltiness to many western chicken or beef based soups.
Most foreigners don’t do traditional Japanese breakfast very well. I’m one of them.
My theory is that Japanese breakfast isn’t really much different from any other meal of the day whereas in the West a breakfast menu is mostly different from what we eat the rest of the day. Also, first thing in the morning a westerner doesn’t want to get hit with “different”.
It’s not so bad if you’re like Straff and usually don’t eat much for breakfast. Just skip most/everything on the plates and get your coffee and toast.
Glad to know I’m not alone. Like I said individually, excluding the natto, no issues. But no appeal at breakfast time.
I couldn’t even guess how many times I’ve been to a traditional Japanese breakfast with other foreigners – some on their first time in Japan, some still in their “honeymoon phase”, and others long term residents. It is rare when a foreigner is even OK with that fare. Most long term residents like me have figured out our “go to” items from that spread but I gave up a long time ago on the idea of trying to eat everything they put in front of me.
i draw the line at natto. Umeboshi meh.
Shiozake, berkshire sausage links, youtiao, and coffee with cream. Rice maybe.
Natto will never be on my menu any time of the day. It isn’t even the smell. It looks like mouse turds in snot and I’m not putting that in my mouth. Heck, I don’t even want to step in it.
I’ve told Japanese what Natto looks like to me and they always reply “But it’s good for you” as if nothing else in on my plate or in the kitchen is good for you.
I’ll eat the broiled fish with some rice. Better still if it’s salmon. Maybe some cold boiled spinach. Plain toast if they have it and black coffee.
I guess I should walk that bit a little. I have and will eat the dried natto packets that JAL hands out. Those aren’t too bad.
Watching someone stir up their natto in a cup… ugh…
I have it planned as a five part series (with the climax coming in the pen-pen ultimate panel) but I only worked out two storyboards so that may change.
Hoping we get a Sixth Sense twist at the end. “I’m ready to tell you my secret.”

Yes, and she hangs out at the Glib Discord. With Vhyrus*.
*not with him; he’s simply there, as well.
Why has she forsaken us?
We don’t even need her to wade into the hive of scum and villiany that is the comments, we just need the recaps.
Perhaps she had to stop – too many saving throws vs. sanity.
I have no idea on the ‘why’ of her move, or, if it’s even a permanent situation. Most of them said they liked the immediacy of feedback, since you see/hear when new comments come in (the feedback is faster). I can only presume that’s true for her, but I don’t know. Only know that she is there.
I will be happy to let her know her recaps are sorely missed over here.

OT: Government doing what it does best
A gym owner in Florida was arrested for failing to enforce his county’s mask mandate.
He was told to close the gym when someone reported customers were not made to wear masks.
When he refused, he was arrested.
I bought a quality mask, and I cant breathe through it, I have COPD, not an issue if I don’t push myself too hard, a mask would drop me in about 3 minutes,
I Will Not Comply
Gotta wear one for 6 hours today. ?
I was short of breathe after 90 seconds or so, moved it around, no joy,
I’m done with them
That’s actually on topic.
“He was told to close the gym when someone reported customers were not made to wear masks.”
Imagine going through life as _this_ person
Just show them commercials with dancing doctors. That should placate everyone.
Need moar fapping puns.
So, this is kind of cool for the Atomic City to be considering. This state has gone nutso about “carbon-free” electricity which means a huge jump in power prices. Neighborhood nukes sounds just about right.

Must be tuesday
Anyone know where I can find American WWI records. I’ve searched everywhere and can’t even find what unit my great grandfather served in. Meanwhile I was able to find so much info on a distant German relative that I was able to pinpoint his locations during WWI on Google maps. The Bavarians were great record keepers.
Dumb question: Have you gone over to the Liberty Memorial to see if they can help?
I haven’t, I need to. Been talking about going for a while.
ancenstry.com will let you look through some old records
They don’t have much on WWI. Apparently a lot of the records were lost in a fire.
Go to the National Archives and request his service records. You’re a blood relative and he’s no longer living so shouldn’t be an issue.
https://www.archives.gov/personnel-records-center/military-personnel
Second this. Had my dad do it for my grandfather’s service records and it was amazing to read through them.
Although the fire wiped out a lot of those era of records
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Personnel_Records_Center_fire
My grandfather served in WWI. One of the few photos of him from his youth was his service photo. He had those legging shin-wrap things and everything. Trench warfare across Europe. He died when I was fairly young, so I never had the chance to grill him for war stories. That is a real loss.
They were dirt poor, so that was his only chance to travel anywhere at all in his life – and he gets to go to France and have mustard gas fired at him.

I had trouble reading the smaller print on my phone, but when I zoomed in on the pic I copied to my phone, all the white had turned black so I still couldn’t read it.
Sigh.
Sometimes restarting the browser fixes it, sometimes…..
All the white had become black……#BLM has finally won
Funny, it did the same thing in Chrome on my laptop – I zoomed the page but the image stayed the same. So i opened the PNG in another tab. It turned black except for a handful of speech bubbles. Weird.
I had similar issues because my browser is in “dark mode”. Switched it to “light mode” and the colors were fixed. The PNG image probably has backgrounds set to “transparent” which shouldn’t be.
Little Tim is calling for an old school Social media Website for like minded individuals, sounds familiar…………..
“The @AP snapped a photo of @JoeBiden’s notes today: “Kamala Harris— Do Not Hold Grudges, Canpaigned With Me And Jill, Talented, Great Help To Campaign, Great Respect For Her.” The same day @Politico published then retracted a piece on Biden naming her VP.”
https://twitter.com/JerryDunleavy/status/1288271974716903425
Hmmmmm…..
Yeah, but that was at 10:30. By noon he had misplaced that note and even forgotten he had written anything down.
Hmmmmmm
The only ones he could’ve picked where there’s more negative material are Rice or Warren.
Except neither Rice nor Warren accused Biden of being a Racist on national television.
The funny thing also is her accusation was just dumb. And I don’t even like Biden.
I don’t think any of that is an issue. They are expected to talk shit about each other at the debates. And it’s not like Biden’s choice is going to stop any Democrat from voting for him.
Less is more on Titty Tuesday.

Methinks that guy is full of sith.
PROTIP: The guy is jacking off.
Jerk and Jack (multiple times). That’s too obvious.
Tonight it was ABC evening news for the news. They had a story about the resurgence of the virus, which may be making a comeback in the northeast as well.
“Experts are blaming what they are calling ‘Super Spreader Events.'”
They ran video from these events as they described them. A concert in New York. A large outdoor church event in Texas.
You know what they didn’t show?
You do know, don’t you. I don’t even have to point it out. You knew that’s where I was headed from the start, didn’t you?
Yeah…. not a syllable about all the protests.
Clearly, going to church outside is a super-spreader event. Because, as we all know, being in an outdoor group for 2 hours is way, way, way more likely to spread the virus than being in a group of 5,000 involved in a mosh pit in the streets for 9 hours. Bonus, churches are pretty local events, whereas these city-wide protests draw in people from all over the region. So it is easy to see why these wouldn’t count as super-spreader events.
When did this church event happen? Texas cases staring going back down 2 weeks ago.
just googled us cases overall too.
exactly the same.
cases are heading back down now.
I’ve been going to church the last 5 weeks or so. I have to register for a seat online (space purposes), then when I get there, I get temp checked (just like work or any military facility) and when I get inside, I get seated at least 3 or so seats from any other group/family/etc (they try and leave every other row empty).
More and more folks attending the last few weeks, but since it’s a high school auditorium, still a lot of space (and since it’s a satellite congregation from a larger church – lots of folks still stream too).
It’s almost if they want the rabid animals to gain herd immunity, and keep normies from getting it too. Imagine if the restrictions lift and thousands of normies die the next week.
I need to make a new foil hat.
“Experts yet again choose the stupidest fucking terminology for this shit.”
They’ve talked about that the whole time and honestly the whole thing where people were like “we shouldn’t have gatherings of 10,000 or more people ” was the early initial rule that actually made some sense to me. since then it’s been all
downhill.
That is still the rule.
Unless you are #BLM/Antifa. Then the rule is “do whatever you want, just don’t turn on me!”
The experts’ moms are Super Spreader Events.
Has Tim Pool seen the light?
If I recall, Twitter took down that meme.
“Google Censorship Is a Danger to Public Health
The monopoly platform’s new policy of disappearing documents at odds with the expert opinion of the moment is both sinister and stupid”
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/science/articles/coronavirus-google-censorship-danger
Yeah, that’s not how you do science.
There is a serious crisis in science right now anyway. With the dearth of funding, the pressure to publish is massive. And what gets published is positive results. Nobody reports the negative results.
This is a huge issue.
Also, nobody does confirming replication studies. This is a critical part of the scientific process. And nobody does it because it costs a lot of time and money, and nobody will publish it because it is not novel.
Google pushing for disappearing things that conflict with the current narrative is horribly wrongheaded. Tie it in to rebuttal studies, but definitely don’t get rid of it. That is how people know what has already been done.
Well-said – no one wants to publish null data (not new). Also, a lack of “critical mass” of researchers in a given area. Add lazy, lying, and incompetent PI’s who are “managing” students without a clue.
Is it as bad as a normie like me is led to believe, that the narrative is the null hypothesis for all intensive porpoises? Am I supposed to think things are irretrievably bad in social science but they’re still mostly okay for the so-called real sciences?
Epidemiology and the study of infectious diseases are supposed to be real sciences. Draw from it any conclusion you want. Science!
Have we unpersoned Walter Reed yet?
It’s bad in any research field (I’m in one). Part of it is technological in nature: our technology is so good now, it’s become quite easy to publish lazy analysis where a computer has done way more of the work than it can be safely trusted to do. The discipline of sound study design backed up by critical thinking has mostly vanished. Now you stuff a bunch of data into a computer, it sorts through it all looking for relationships and spits answers back out at you. If you like the answers, you publish.
***haughty sniff*** I grasp acrostics just fine, thankyouverymuch. I find them elegant, and solving one makes me feel smart – rather like knowing the answers (in the form of questions) on Jeopardy.
What is an ego boost?

Cool! I hoped you would show up, Yes and Yes she will, should I tell her to send it?
I was going to have her email me so we could finalize everything (shipping address, paypal/other method, etc). But, yes to your question.

Have one for me.
His voters aren’t taking him literally or seriously anymore. They’re sick of the clown show. And the dummy has only himself to blame.
As Little Tim and his buddy Adam attract 500k new Trump voters, Trump will win,
Polls aren’t useless. They work real well when used to push the progressive narrative. They are really useful if you know how to write the questions and then dump the answers you didn’t want.
Polls aren’t meant to be a look at the general feel of an issue, more a set of questions designed to agree with a preset concept, nothing more,
Pretty sure Hillary was up by more at this point. I’m pretty sure every team blue candidate has been up in the polls at this point in the summer for the past few decades.
One note:
I live in Broward County Florida. As blue as blue gets. There are, near as makes no difference, no Republicans. My town voted to get rid of plastic straws, for crying out loud.
An I see Trump flags all over the place. Trump/Pence yard signs are starting to pop up.
And I have yet to see anything for Biden.
That’s…interesting. Telling? Only time will tell. I can’t imagine there’s any enthusiasm FOR Biden – only AGAINST Trump. And much more feeling going the opposite direction than the premature polls will show.
The MSM lies about everything. The polls are bullshit.
Wherein Barr is either far more charitable than me, or, far more willing to put on niceties with walking scrotums.

I left a late reply:
Sorry I missed it. I haven’t been to Haverhill since 1989. It’s hard to picture it as gentrified.
Apologies if I was unclear – where I am, Somerville (f.k.a., Slummerville – thus, the beer & the handle) is about 45 minutes south of Haverhill – no idea if Haverhill is gentrified (I’m assuming “no”).
Somerville, on the other hand…
I graduated from Tufts in 1987. I went back with my daughter a year and a half ago to look at colleges. Davis Square was nearly unrecognizable.
Related: It is a crime Yees Village closed.
Ah, right – I think you’re the one who lived on Herbert Street? I leave right near there (“the armpit of Davis Square” was how a Somerville PD friend describe it, when I bought the place.)
Yees Village predates me (2008) – that was a variety of struggling business when I got here until it settled on it’s current, reasonably successful tavern.
Which will no doubt be driven into bankruptcy by our virtue-signalling mayor all too shortly.
Predates you!?! Young’n.
I’ve been lately riding on my bike through most towns in Eastern Massachusetts. Every one of them has its charm (including Haverhill)–with the exception of Lawrence.

I am all for education. Get what you need for your goals. She wants to go to Boise State but east coast brother is just hammering away to go there instead. Let the fucking 16 year old decide on her own when she gets to it.
Exactly. While I don’t know the specifics, beyond what you’ve put down, I’d be thinking, “If you have an offer for her, pitch it to her, and let her evaluate everything. Otherwise, STFU, bruh.” It’s a big step, and options mean there will be one or more roads not taken. But, she needs to do this on her own. It’s part of putting on the Big Girl panties for adulthood.
Pretty much picked up on what I was putting down.

Good morning, Glibboys! Happy Wednesday! And if it’s NOT a happy day, here’s just the thing for those occasions when a simple “Fuck off!” is insufficiently emphatic. Also, classy because Cary Grant. (NSFW: Language)
Have a happy morning, or at least have the kind of morning you’re in the mood for.
My Tuesday morning started with my phone ringing while I was getting ready for work.
Me: Hello?
Telemarketer (response was half a second late, so I knew): Is this Firstname Lastname?
Me: Who is this?
TM: I’m Maggie with Something Homes.
Me: This is a work phone, so no.
TM: Are you self-employed?
Me: What’s your shoe size?
TM: What?
Me: Uh-huh. (Click)
One of those kind of days.
And good morning, fellow Glibbroad!
Cary Grant was a fine figure of a man and raging Homo. NTTAWWT. I always liked him even when they made him play Love Interest Grandpa against some ingenue. Classy feller. Played the system and got all the ass.
Charade is one of my favorite movies. Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant! Can it get any better than that??
Daddy issues? I keed. Young ladies seem to like older men that haven’t given up and appear to have some form of income. Poor Antifa, ten years from now they’ll still be planning the revolution and their “Sister’s In Arms” will be living in the suburbs.
There always seem to be enough defective women to validate the drug dealers, the punks, the man-buns, and the twinks. I blame chicks: if they didn’t do these guys, this crap would die out.
*Ahem* That’s where poor, white trash are born and cradled. I should know, I am one.
This was my day and night (see above clusterfuck). I had a pretty great Monday, all things considered and Tuesday was just a big Bowl-o-Twats… Wednesday isn’t fairing much better thus far.

Well I’ll be dipped, whoda thunk it?

What’s with every Gen-Z tuber wearing a knit cap in the heat of summer? God knows I’ve made some silly fashion faux pas but the “beanie” is downright stupid. Baseball cap wearer for life!
No shit. It’s a toque FFS! A beanie is what brownies wear!
That what (((they))) wear minus the little propeller.
Well, yeah. Propellers are treif. That’s why Israel didn’t have an air force until after the jet engine was invented.
I couldn’t stand wearing knit hats in winter, let alone summer.

Old school. Classy.
They stole it from the Millennials; this stupidity is not new.
This is why it needs to be mocked. Relentlessly.
Honestly though, Tim Pool claims that he only wears it while he’s working and that people don’t recognize him when he takes it off. So it’s like Batman’s cowl.
I don’t trust Tim Pool. He’ll turn on a dime if he gets un-personed.
She seems nice.
34 years old. I was building a life with my second Wife, gainfully employed and trying to win over my step-children.
I don’t get it. Do they hate him because he has a second set of eyebrows?
I think he’s being a Glibertarian.

Seven.
I have seven meetings on my calendar for today, most an hour long.
I’m not going to get anything done am I?
We just had a short staff meeting here. I shut that shit down as soon as it got off track. Maybe about 10 minutes in.
I’m not very happy with my station in life but I think I’d rather empty the tiny garbage bins than put up with that stupid fucking mummery.
You just need to use business-speak and you have a full day of reportable accomplishments that are immediately actionizable to you SMART goals!
So that must be the paradigm shift that was all the rage about 30 years ago. Got it! Just listen to the wisdom of the wankers!
I think it’s clear that what’s happening in the strip is that drugs are falling out of his ass.
