They need some huge cushions (foofs) so they can have seating for more than 3.

2023-06-20 00:17:10 +0000 UTCI laugh at these comix regularly, but it's been a while since I sat back & belly laughed for a while at one. this is peak Jacques humour.

2023-06-19 15:53:25 +0000 UTCI have this image of Clinton coming to visit and the Cubespeople *immediately* going "Oh, she's cloned herself! Look, the Librarian has a clone and he's male and isn't he cute?!?" Cue Clinton, running screaming down the street from the curious throng...

2023-06-19 14:34:22 +0000 UTCOK, I don't really want to see Clinton's head explode when he gets the news...except I kind of do.

2023-06-19 00:31:50 +0000 UTCI love how the massive room is almost totally empty, because obviously the only furnishings required are a couch and large flatscreen TV

2023-06-18 21:22:12 +0000 UTCIs that a comic effect, or an actual Glasses effect?

2023-06-18 21:01:43 +0000 UTCBy moving into the woods you are moving into the bear's home and denying it habitat it can't replace ... and using a sword to fight a bear is a great idea. The bear will be able to make shish kabob out of you without running to the store to buy skewers :)

2023-06-18 16:58:19 +0000 UTCSabre is recorded in English from the 1670s, as a direct loan from French, where the sabre is an alteration of sable, which was in turn loaned from German Säbel, Sabel in the 1630s. The German word is on record from the 15th century, loaned from Polish szabla, which was itself adopted from Hungarian szabla (14th century, later szablya). The spread of the Hungarian word to neighboring European languages took place in the context of the Ottoman wars in Europe of the 15th to 17th centuries. The spelling saber became common in American English in the second half of the 19th century.

Daniel Drazen
2023-06-18 15:17:22 +0000 UTCIts guard and Dale's grip suggest a katana.
William Cole
2023-06-18 13:15:14 +0000 UTCDale's sword looks.. bent... or is it a saber? (I looked up 'saber' in my etymological dictionary (cf my other comment about 'fun' vs 'cool'). You can 'saber' someone (stick 'em with your saber) and be 'sabered' (armed with a saber). Original origin of word unknown!)
Duncan
2023-06-18 12:41:42 +0000 UTCOne last question: how can one be sick of maple syrup? You might as well be sick of poutine and televised curling.

2023-06-18 04:31:19 +0000 UTCPlaying with Aurelia’s gray streaks, hm? I think the iteration just prior to this was the best balance. It’s funny that there were none when she walked in; makes it seem like just spending an hour with May made her go gray!

2023-06-18 04:26:03 +0000 UTCI have a bunch of swords for home defense because a sword doesn't go through the wall and kill the neighbor's kid if you miss the home intruder.

2023-06-18 02:33:06 +0000 UTCI live in an urban area, and the largest wildlife I've seen (and smelled) here was a skunk. A friend who lives an hour west of here does see bears, though. She has to bring her birdfeeders in at night or the bears tear them apart. My stepmother, a little further west, brings hers in because of the deer rather than bears. She sees foxes, too. Very cute foxes, but we keep our distance, of course.
Lenore J Jones
2023-06-18 02:32:49 +0000 UTCBut the bears aren’t SECRET. I mean, they don’t like hide in a corner and you’re just walking along and you’ve got a bear dangling off you.

Todd Ellner
2023-06-18 02:19:36 +0000 UTCIts funny. For all of the playing up of Australia as a Death Continent, we don't get bears or other large predators in our yards. Just deadly snakes and spiders. Ok, I suppose people who live in croc territory might have crocodiles, but that's not my area of expertise. We do get kangaroos, but they're harmless unless you engage them one on one. And goanna's but they're fine unless you look like a tree. But no bears.
