Dedicated and charitable readers will remember that all thinkers, be they writers, artists of all genres, musicians, and even philosophers sometimes suffer through frustrating but unavoidable doldrums. It’s the same with almost any human endeavor. But, like the proverbial writer’s block these periods usually generate renewed energy and perhaps new directions, all of which benefit the faithful.
Lots of people are’t getting this reference.For some strange reason, this video went viral: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E00Zuayv9Q . That’s why Peter is calling Thor a sellout.
I’m reminded of an old B.C. wherein they discussed what to call that thing inside us pumping the blood around. One of them said, “I know, let’s call it a HART!” Curls called him a bootlicker.
Yep, its official, I’m an old coot and gotta do my research on Wikipedia into the lingo of the “utes” (kinda like “Uge”, NY Trumpspeak for huge, but this is a NJ “spression” meaning youths but pronounced like the possessive of the Ute tribe). Keep up or miss the joke and I do like to start my mornings with a laugh rather than a scratch on and a tilt of the head. Thanks for the reference and thank God for the comments which make the cost of GoComics worth every penny.

Shouldn’t that be ‘I-pen’.

Anyone remember when this comic strip used to be funny?

Did he go “UHHH!” when he drew that last one?

A pen through the apple? Do tell, William.

I think it’s a KPOP thing or something. I’ve heard my daughter going, “Apple…pen…apple pen” and then laugh, but I dunno…

This strip is not funny any more. Too bad, because it used to be one of my favorites.

I think this might be what they are referring to, I don’t know for sure.

Thanks, Russell and Ken. Just another indication that I’m old.

‘Yoots’ as pronounced by Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny is the modern source.
