Today’s Wondermark is amazing. (Papyrus!)

Mary Worth, 8/20/10

“And if one of the bums I interrogated didn’t know anything, I made ’em switch clothes with me. That might seem strange to you, kid, but I was on the street, and I had to live my live by the codes of the street. And those codes say that when a man doesn’t help you with your vengeance mission, he forfeits his right to his clothes. That’s how it works. On the street.” (via The Comics Curmudgeon )

ed. note: OMFG they literally switched clothes, what is UP with THAT? Also this commentary by Josh actually made me laugh out loud, for realz.

Business Pauline is some kind of English!

Aww, Tigerbuttah Goes To Kennywood! Pardon the incessant Tiny Kitten Teeth posts, but since I have decided that today is the day I read this entire comic, there’s really nothing that can be done.

More Tiny Kitten Teeth

How I only just discovered Tiny Kitten Teeth I have no idea, but it’s the most adorable thing on the planet.

Are you people reading Scenes From A Multiverse? You should be.

“It seems a bit strange to me that the media carefully warn about and label any content that involves sex, violence or strong language — but there’s no similar labelling system for, say, sloppy journalism and other questionable content. I figured it was time to fix that, so I made some stickers. I’ve been putting them on copies of the free papers that I find on the London Underground. You might want to as well.”

Too Late for Swanson

Note from 2022 Rachel: This link is dead and I have literally no memory of this, so I still have no idea what this means.

I’m not sure what it means, but I like it.

Too Late for Swanson!

I always wondered where this came from

cakewalk (plural cakewalks)

1. A contest in which cake was offered for the best dancers
2. (music) The style of music associated with such a contest.
3. The dance, or style of dance associated with such a contest.
4. Something that is easy or simple, or does not present any great challenge.

Etymology

Originally a form of dance that white masters had their slaves perform for them and their audiences as entertainment. The slaveowners considered the spectacle extremely amusing since the dances derived from sophisticated white European aristocracy. As such, slaveowners dressed the slaves in costumes of exaggerated finery, like ridiculously tall tophats and flashy striped pants, and taught the slaves variations of the original dance steps designed as highly comical parodies. Audiences selected their favorites, and the slaves who performed most entertainingly for their masters were rewarded with a piece of cake. [wiktionary.org]
