Some background on this comic:

Transcript:

The seed for this cartoon all started with a simple T-shirt design. If T-shirts were as popular in the nineteenth century as they are today, I wondered what kinds of things they would say. The sketch above lead to this cartoon.

“Considered Harmful” Essays Considered Harmful

Because “considered harmful” essays are, by their nature, so incendiary, they are counter-productive both in terms of encouraging open and intelligent debate, and in gathering support for the view they promote.

At any rate, they don’t have to break type safety anymore with PEP 612

He certainly was a lover:

Posting in ISO format now, we’ll see if there’s any objections

3rd panel is a great example of how brutal kids can be

Seems like it. Especially with the “blowjobs don’t count” guy from a few comics back

If anyone’s wondering why:

I think @eleitl@lemm.ee gets it in their comment. The joke kind of misses because of a bad book title (maybe Larson was riffing on a popular self-help book series at the time?), but the general joke afaict is that he’s stuck in a catch-22 of not being able to improve himself with a self-help book because he would need to improve himself in order to read it.

Middle panel feels like a meme template. Can’t quite think of what to put there though:

Thanks to @AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world for pointing me towards this story on a very related PBF comic:

“Current” as in “The old strips I’m currently posting to !oglaf@midwest.social”. You’re right that this is an old storyline in the overall comics

While the original poem is already full of sexual imagery, an alternative version makes this more explicit. It has a different chorus, referring to a phallic “staun o’ staunin’ graith” (roughly “an erection of astonishing size”), “kiss” is replaced by “fuck”, and Jenny’s “thing” in stanza four is identified as her “cunt”.

All of our big brains and art and math really are just increasingly complex ways of getting our freak on.

I’m guessing this is her?

If so, oof. Generally MN is better than that. We’ve got some crazies but not so proudly racist.

Do you mean the post titles? I’ve been using the same format as was used since before I took over posting, but if people want ISO format that works for me

@MrSebSin@sh.itjust.works draws comics and posts them over in !bellobearofficial@lemmy.world. if you like terrible punch lines or have opinions on food, you’ll probably enjoy it

Have you installed solar panels yet? I want to, but the tech is advancing rapidly enough that it makes more sense for me to wait atm.

I’m also planning on just paying for it up front. The programs for “we’ll do it for cheap but we’ll own it” are generally scammy. My friend has solar panels through his utility company, and his power went out recently but the panels did nothing for him because they go straight to the utility company’s grid. He’s pretty much renting them roof space for a discount on his bill.
