So handing out buttons to only the most special of people is akin to oppressing the others? And pre-button, Molly and Nancy were also oppressed? NO, I STILL DON’T GET IT!
I think Mimi should stick to softball and talk about strategy-like where you throw the ball with players on first and third and one out with a ground ball to third base. (I have no idea by the way)
Guilty that I am Mop. The sign in yesterday’s panel didn’t reflect David and Linda at The Copyright Café. The P3 storefront sign appeared to be Cantina. Maybe these kids did go to the Central City Cantina for a bowl of soup and on the way home, stopped at the Café for a homemade brownie. What could be making Linda smile?
Yeah, we get it. We used to fear that other kids would hassle us for our nerdy weekend pursuits like skating, blogging, and knitting. Now since we have become arbiters of nerd cool, we rejected and hurt the feelings of bowling/clarinet, screenplay, stamp collection, and barbershop quartet guys, and David and Linda for being a couple or whatever, making us the oppressors. (Though we of course gave a button to gun collector guy.) But shouldn’t we also have got a chance to chase off campus Mike Fillion, Andre Ruffin, Joe Bolek, Tiki Whatshisname, and the other really cool kids who take drugs, try to deface billboards, and rumble with New Thayer?
P1 – If she thinks that brownie is great now, just wait until she actually tastes the thing.
P2 – Poor Nancy, the ants are driving her scalp crazy.
P3 – “No, actually we don’t. Why didn’t you just say what you’re saying now instead of wasting a whole weekend and having us read a book that in no way sounds like it’s related to our life?”
And speaking of related, you should be able to relate to today’s Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/
Uh I realize that this is a comic but there is a lot more to Animal Farm than just who oppresses who as it speaks to the belief that Communism will always result in a loss of freedom but some also suggest that Orwell was not just referencing the Russian Revolution but also that Capitalism left unchecked could very well turn out with the same result. For instance who remembers when Blutarsky, Dorfman and Stratton go on that road trip… oh wait… that was Animal House… never mind.

P1, Actually it’s weirder to skip during volleyball. And that “brownie” looks like a sponge.
P2, At least the ants seem fascinated by Mimi’s lesson. Whatever it may be.
P3, Because you wanted to waste our weekend?

Hey, someone complained yesterday they weren’t going to the Copyright Café©, but they did! Did they remodel the outside?

They are actually at the “Colorado Café” in P1, which may explain the brownie.
