That’s a 31 year old woman and a 40 year old man. Both indubitably human.

You have two species that can understand each other’s languages, live in close proximity, have the same body plan, and are both the rarest form of species - sentient intelligent tool users. The odds that they both evolved simultaneously and independently is vanishingly small. Maybe they’re a homo sapiens/neanderthal situation - two separate but related species. But odds are this is simply a case of racial persecution.

The Whos, like all species, have a degree of diversity. Grinches are just a Who ethnic minority. Whoville is a Sundown Town; Grinches aren’t allowed in city limits after nightfall. Why do you think The Grinch lives in a cave? Hell, they don’t even let him have a name. He’s just “The Grinch.” They’re doing the equivalent of calling the one member of a minority group in town “The Black” or “The Jew.”

Whos are terrible people. They deserved to have their Christmas stolen.

This comic is designed under a sane ethical framework, which places responsibility for the success or failure of a party on the people who actually hold power within the party. It’s told from the framework of party leaders, holding them accountable for their failures. It’s punching up rather than punching down. What options were available at the ballot box, as we’re not talking about voters, we’re talking about leaders here. Don’t try and cover up for corrupt leaders by blaming the voters.

Who says it has to be evil or cruel? I make a mean dish. It’s about average.

We should pass a constitutional amendment requiring every diplomat visiting the US to French kiss the sitting president at first meeting. You want to meet with Trump? You have to kiss him square on the lips.

If you’re looking to get into the scrap metal business, I could sell you the Eiffel Tower.

I mean, for the sake of the hypothetical, perhaps we assume that Wolverine has undergone a deep religious awakening and has decided to convert to Judaism entirely out of his own free will as an adult of sound mind and body!

That’s simply not true. Or you’re confusing antique century-old porcelain with finishes not used today with contemporary pieces.

We actually got a full set of wedding china, and we got married in 2018. We’re elder Millennials. While I tell people that they should probably skip the hina, I actually enjoy it. Growing up my parents had a set of china that only came out for company and holidays, and it had a certain charm to it. And I’ve found our set serves a similar role. I actually keep it in the very same cabinet my mom had when I was a kid (she’s long since used a fancier cabinet that matches their dining set.)

But even in 2025, it can be nice to have a set of China. There’s just something special about having people over, either for social occasions or holidays, and being able to offer them a really nice place setting that isn’t part of your normal repertoire. I do got out of my way to use it though. You could just be stopping by my house for a chat, and if I offer you coffee, I’ll probably give it to you in fine china.

Pity the poor shepherd gamer who must sell his ram to buy more RAM.

Well yes, the incantation typically involved calling upon the ghost of the Emperor Nero.

“In my perfect ideal world, that we have no path to achieving, we could sustain our large population indefinitely.”

It really is a classic!

I have a modest proposal to deal with the homeless problem.

We shouldn’t allow men to serve elected office. They’re just too emotional to serve as proper leaders. Men belong in the home, where they won’t start random pointless fights with other males. Leadership requires a steady hand and emotional intelligence, skills men fundamentals lack.

I mean, how else are you going to try and march across the damn Soviet Union? That place was fucking ginormous.

These people are all damned to Hell.

We have one. A small one that came with this little countertop ceramic honey pot we found at a pottery shop. We actually tried using it, but the ants got to the literal honey pot very quickly.
