I bet it was over-the-top for humor then too. But even so, I think we’d be surprised at how many people still have this approach to relationships today: guys who throw money at every problem rather than talk, women who want to be showered in gifts and expect the man to finance their lives. It feels dated to me too, because everyone in my social circles is way more egalitarian and “modern”, but I’ve met many people who still operate this way.

The joke in this one is that she coordinated to make the dude feel guilty so that she’d get a gift.

It’s probably really comfortable if you’re Yoda-sized.

It’s sort of like how the worst decision streaming services can make is to be so inconvenient that they push people to learn how to torrent. You can’t undo that, and now you just have piracy savvy racoons consumers.

In its current state, it’s like one of those failed graffiti attempts at a swastika.

My brain also still says “Juice-ika”, but someone who spoke Hungarian commented on a post the other day saying it’s pronounced more like “Yucika”

I do too. I really enjoy the sort of nostalgia-adjacent feeling I get from laughing at the same comics that people were laughing at 70 years ago (or 100+ for many of the Everett True comics).

This is a good one

Just in time.

Always.

I’ve enjoyed discovering these recently too. It’s funny how similar the style of this strip is to American comics of that era too, all the way across the globe.

Happy to post them! I have a bunch more saved, but I’m trying to trickle them out so that it doesn’t feel spammy.

I like it, thanks. Changed the post title.

Interesting. How would you phrase the whole title then? I’m just using google to detect and translate for me.

At least Mastodon is properly federated. The benefits of decentralization sort of make this a waste of money/resources, right?

I remember when this was happening to Lemmy all the time too.

Ok, getting some caffeine in me…

Dang, I’m so terrible with deadlines…

Wait, maybe I need coffee, but wouldn’t “minus 5 years” be now? Or 5 years ago?

Oh man, me too. Like Jessica but juice.
