Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT 2942-2946 (20-24 April 2015)
BenRG:
With nothing happening today, I thought I'd just mention some stuff that I'd like to see in future arcs in the strip:
* Dora and Tai's first anniversary date;
* Claire's graduation bash;
* Faye produces an artistic masterpiece; she becomes the toast of the East Coast and this brings Angus (film crew attached) to do a satirical piece on her life and work; this quickly becomes a serious conflict of interest for him;
* The Reed Family summer vacation (including Maurice, of course but also Claire, Jim and Sam because they're practically family anyway) in Florida (maybe the same hotel where GWS found a body; same 'special' beach too!);
* Faye catches Hannelore smoking on the building's roof; it turns out that nicotine helps her handle her anxieties (she's a one- or two-a-day; more on bad days); she and Faye bond over mutual substance dependency issues.Discuss!

Pintsize seems to have chilled way out, Faye has mellowed (even though her drama quotient has gone a bit up) and even Yelling Bird is fairly tame. I might just be making a mountain out of a molehill though.

Actually, I've got the feeling that this Yelling Bird strip is an unusual one. Normally, YB is something Jeph throws together in a few minutes on a bad day. Because of that, the monologue is usually an (obscene) stream-of-consciousness that doesn't really mean much to anyone except Jeph.
In this case, Jeph was saying on Twitter that he thought there'd be a YB because of the Calgary convention as early as two weekends back. I think that he planned this strip and scripted it well in advance, something that he normally doesn't do. That's why the jokes are... well... funnier and generally less obscene.

This is actually true of all so-called 'facts'. As codified in the Sosume Internet Debate Uncertainty Principle, there are no objectively-perceptible facts, only opinions and shades of perception which must be equally respected lest you turn a low-information poster with self-image issues into a defensive flamer.
The Susume Principle was named for the nearly-identical posts made by thousands of internet debaters the commonality of which indicates that this is a physical part of creation: "That's my opinion and that's how I feel! You don't like it? So sue me!"
