I didn't watch Captain Planet. I was too busy being an adult. And wondering why they were editing my old Warner Brothers cartoons.

I was in High school when CP was on the air, so I didn't watch it very much, but my younger brothers always watched the damned thing, mainly because they knew I hated it.

[Mad Cat]

Marten squeezing Sven's butt.      - 15 (31.3%)

Oh, come ON! Likelihood, people! Think about the likelihood! The first option is much more likely.

I didn't watch Captain Planet. I was too busy being an adult. And wondering why they were editing my old Warner Brothers cartoons.

guys, nostalgia aside - most cartoons from the 70s sucked.  Although I've always had a soft spot for Velma, even before I understood why.

[foolsguinea]

He said, "Warner Brothers cartoons." Like Bugs & Daffy. Not the 1970's Hanna-Barbera crud.

[ysth]

Angus: take the deal. 

Feel up, then shut up.

Not the correct choice.  Not taking the deal is also not the correct choice.  He's screwed.

[Carl-E]

Personally, I was a fan of the old Popeye cartoons that were done by Segar, before the 40's.  When they started the cheap animation tricks and introduced the nephews (peepeye, pipeye, pupeye, and yes, poopeye) it really went downhill.  And anything with Betty Boop.  The Disney Silly Symphonies were pretty good, too.  

What? I grew up near a revival theatre, they showed black and white cartoon reels before the features, which were usually the Marx Brothers, Abbot & Costello, Topper, the Nick and Nora mysteries, and a lot great deal of film noir.  I'm pretty sure I was the only person under 12 in the theatre.  

Besides, even my baby brother was too old for Captain Planet.  It sounds really bad.  Environmental morality doesn't belong in cartoons.  

More giant hammers. less saving the earth.  

[Near Lurker]

I thought Faye was taking a photo at first.

Also, I wouldn't expect Angus of all people to take an offer like that seriously... or Faye to actually follow through with the not-murdering.

[zagraf]

My gut reaction to tonight's comic was "Creeeeeeepy," but Faye was the one who suggested this, so.

[celticgeek]

But Angus did shut up.

[Kugai]

Angus is in Heaven  

[Carl-E]

Sorry to double post, but the comic updated while I was posting. 

Glassy eyed Angus!  Time dilation is now in effect. 

But it worked, he can't think of anything to say...

And yeah, I thought Faye was taking a photo for proof (or to update her facebook status)!

[akronnick]

Smooth Angus, real, real smooth.


Somebody get that man a Colt 45!





And yes, what happened here is still MUCH less awkward than what would have happened if She had told him what she told Marten.

[bicostp]

Every time I look at that electric meter all I see is this:

[Ferahgo the Assassin]

...As a representative of straight female readers, I was very disappointed that the panels ended at Angus's waist in this strip.

Sigh... pants boners > boobs. More pandering to female readers and less to males, c'mon Jeph!

[Heliphyneau]

I thought Faye was taking a photo at first.

Ha!  I kinda hope she accidentally took one . . .

...As a representative of straight female readers, I was very disappointed that the panels ended at Angus's waist in this strip.

This makes me envision a sign to be posted by Dora in the alley: No TENT-PITCHING.

I particularly liked that Faye was blushing at first and then just acclimated.  Angus' reverence is hilarious.

[Akima]

I guess Faye uses her cellphone as a pocket-watch (she certainly doesn't wear a wristwatch)? Or maybe she uses its countdown timer function to time her lunchbreak? I use mine all the time, to time all sorts of things.

I think Angus is having a religious experience. But... A slightly feeble end of the week strip?

[raoullefere]

Ah, a man who knows how to savor the priceless moments. The second time is wonderful, and every one she allows you afterward a privilege and a joy—but there's just no recapturing that first touch o' boob.

[peterh]

<insert sound of hysterical laughter, brought about by today's comic>

The comic title is truly the cherry on the cake.

[peterh]

Evidently so.
See, we folks who grew up in the pre-cell phone era (in case you wonder: yes, there WAS such a thing as the pre-cell phone era), are all too accustomed to glancing at our left wrist. Apparently, people under thirty do not have that left-wrist reflex anymore.

[Sorflakne]

Faye's not breaking down into Panic Attack Mode.  I'm impressed.

Though the way Angus is just standing there, you'd think he's never touched a boob before.  

[no one special]

Somewhat like Power Pack when Katie Power was the nuclear option of the team, more or less,

hahaha this.  If she'd actually realized what she could really do, the consequences might have been... extremely bloody.

I was in High school when CP was on the air

This could be taken in a really, really, really disturbing way.


re: today's comic:
WOW.  Faye must really be into Angus, especailly considering how protective she is of her boobs.  No freaking out, no punching - it's almost like she...trusts...him.  CRAZY!

[lts]

I've found that this comic works just as well in backwards as it does forwards

[no one special]

WHOA, it totally does!!  Nice find 

[snubnose]

How weird !

I never thought that its possible that touching a womans breast could feel like a medical exam.

Here it actually does !


@lts: Hey, the inverse version is BETTER than the original !

Though the way Angus is just standing there, you'd think he's never touched a boob before. 

I think its because Faye has such a great rack.

[westrim]

It's weird how she took out her phone and I instantly recognized that she was checking time, not making a call. What an interesting world we live in.

[squishything]

Wow, that was oddly... hot. the inverted version even more so. Groping while making out is all good, but by making it into just-groping, it seems even hotter. Must convince the SO to let me do this...

[peterh]

This has me wondering... if you'd show a movie to a group of teens in which someone looks at his left wrist and then says "God, it's 9:30 already! we gotta go..." or something of that ilk, how many of the teens would think "why the bleep is he looking at his left wrist, and how does he suddenly realize it's 9:30??!?"

[keeperoflore]

looking at the time isnt the first thing i would think of if i saw someone look at their wrist, mostly because i use a pocketwatch instead of a wristwatch

[J]

as do i. every time i have ever had a wrist watch i'v ended up carrying it in my pocket most of the time, so it just made sense.

though incidentally, when i did wear one, it was always on my right wrist. which i attribute to being right handed. however all ya'll specifying the left is making me wonder if that was unusual.

[peterh]

I've been the only one mentioning the left wrist up to now. But yes, it is usual to wear your watch on the left wrist. The only two people I know who wear it on the right wrist are lefties...

[Olymander]

And yes, what happened here is still MUCH less awkward than what would have happened if She had told him what she told Marten.

Um, what did she tell Marten?

And I wear my watch on my right wrist, but that's because I fence(d) left handed.  You don't really want a watch out there where a sword can catch on it.  I also wear my watch in that odd girly inside-of-the-wrist position for double the out-of-the-ordinary fun.

[peterh]

I think akronnick is referring to Boxergate

[raoullefere]

Yes, "A funny thing happened to me after our date—I had a panic attack over it" is probably not a relationship builder. Unless, of course, the second party has a peculiar sort of ego.

[Olymander]

Mmm.  I don't know.  Given where things were going in panel 4 or 5 of #1774, it might have turned out ok.  Well, maybe if Faye was feeling a bit more confident and proactive.  It would have been Angus going, "Wow, ok, I'll give you a bit more space and time" and then Faye going "shut up and kiss me" or something like that.  Then again, since her whole conversation with Marten was about being scared about screwing it up... I dunno.  I guess the question is if she's been scared out of being aggressive... although the whole "letting you touch my boobs if you'll shut up" would seem to imply a certain aggressiveness in and of itself.  I'm not nearly as good at analyzing people as you guys are.  I'm more of an "understanding where you're coming from" person myself.

[Somebody]

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOBOOBS!

[akronnick]

You are correct, sir.

[Nontoxic]

Not sure how I know this, but the reason to wear your watch on your non-dominant wrist is so you can write and look at your watch at the same time.

I lost my left-wrist reflex when I started working at my first job. I was always catching my watch on things and trying to tear my hand off, so I started with the cellphone trick.

Regarding the comic: Does Faye look bored after about panel 2?

[peterh]

I think the idea is, you do so many more things with your dominant hand, chances are that, if you wear your watch on that hand, you'd catch things with your watch a lot several lots** more than when you wear it on your non-dominant* hand

*) I don't think I'd get away with calling that 'your submissive hand', but as a stoopit forrinner, I couldn't come up with anything better than non-dominant.
**) Sorry, Raoul.

[snubnose]

Regarding the comic: Does Faye look bored after about panel 2?

Well ... she loses the red in her face.

So she's no longer super embarrassed.

[Nontoxic]

It was mostly from carrying things, which I use both hands for. I'm sure if it were on my right wrist (which is a concept that is utterly unnatural), I would no longer have my right (write?) hand.

[peterh]

Are you secretly Wil? If not, are you employed at The Horrible Revelation? If not, you should be!

I have a pocket watch too. It's just that I don't have the proper attire to wear it with.

My wife says I collect watches. She''s probably right. I say she collects shoes.

[peterh]

right (write?) hand.

Haha. "Amirite?" "Yes, you're write."
Welcome to the Land where left is right, and right is wrong.

Unless you fence sabre, wouldn't your watch be safer under the cuff of your glove?

Left wrist for me, except for several years when I wore a watch that hung from my belt.  It was "upside down" so if you were sitting all you had to do was glance down to see the time, no hands involved.  When I was a kid, all New York City bus drivers had watches like that.  Alas, I am now too corpulent.

And, for you less-young folks, have you ever encountered young people who cannot read an analog clock face?  Or are flummoxed when you give them the time as "a quarter to..."?

[snubnose]

I am surprised I seem to be the only one so far who thinks the actual boob touching was much funnier than the proclamation of her before that she would allow him doing it (at which time I tought it was only a figure of speech) or her complaint she would soon need to return to work (which, to me, was just an added joke to round up the strip) ...

[peterh]

I am not.

as i understand it, infantry soldiers wear it like that to avoid night flashes off the reflective surface of the face.

also, one would think that it would be a good idea to take the watch off entirely for fencing.

[pwhodges]

My son takes his off for playing the piano.

[celticgeek]

I no longer wear a watch, depending on my cell phone and the ubiquity of clocks for timekeeping purposes, but when I did wear one, I wore it with the dial on the inside of my wrist.
