Of course, one of my personal favorites is when Wile E. Coyote (Genius) first verbally introduced himself and stated his intent to catch & eat Bugs Bunny. Standard Wile E Coyote (Super Genius! at that point) hilarity ensues.

A nice touch to that was that the coyote, depicted visually as a slavering moron, speaks with the plummy, high-cultured tone of a slumming intellectual. Those Termite Terrace folks were geniuses, to be sure. Soooooo-puh Geniuses.

Well, I was gone for the better part of last week, and have finally caught up on both the comic and the forum. And, to revisit a popular topic of conversation, Friday's number (1995) is the year I got my Ph.D., after 7 years of grad school... which was after the 3 years to get my Master's, and a year teaching, where they convinced me to go back. I was the second oldest student in the department.
Other major year-events in my life ... first daughter born last Friday (90), second one born Wednesday (93). Married the Monday before last (86). Graduated (BS) two weeks ago (84)...

I know Jeph was going for funny, I get that, but she's incredibly desperate to play video games at the very beginning of her "grounding" and you see how serious her addiction really is. While the punishment is silly, it appears she really needs it.

Well, it's a fine line between comedy and pain, isn't it?
Speaking as a recovered WoW addict myself ... I recognised the compulsion to play, and I can certainly laugh about it. I thought it was pretty funny.

Doesn't Marigold use those games as a source of income? This must be costing her $200 or so...

I don't recall that.
Just waiting for someone with considerably more archive-fu skills than I have to chime in now...
