Metapost: Today is the day for the comment of the week
Post Content
It is Friday: the day of the week when I showcase the top comment that were posted on my website. Here is my choice for this week!
“The relative superiority the Smifs are claiming is actually unrelated to their choice of candidate; the Smifs are just more adept at operating the Voting Churn.” –Violet
In my comment of the week posts, I also showcase other comments that were good and rank as runners up. Here is this list!
“‘What inspired this walk through the park, Truck?’ ‘You’re prettier than the fall colors. And also, I’m incredibly cheap. Now, sit down on this bench and we can share a couple of Tic Tacs I found in my pocket.’” –BigTed
“Gather ’round the fatscreen TV, everybody.” –nescio
“It’s OK, Beetle! Those guys have numbers in the 80s! They’re just oversized tight ends playing out of position!” –matt w
“Sure, cats climb everywhere, but we are meant to believe that that lumpy boxer somehow made it onto the table by himself? They put him there. No, Dr. Ed, the vet, put him there! While Estelle and Ed get all romantic about how they compromised at their no frills wedding, the lumpy boxer is going to fall off that table and get hurt. ‘Sorry, honey, I have to leave. It’s an emergency! I’ll be taking him to the office. Don’t wait up!’” –Joe Momma
“I think that caption is the closest thing to an artist finishing a strip with ‘Wait … why’d I draw this?’ I’ve ever seen.” –Victor Von
“The first time the cats and dog went ‘meow woof meow,’ everyone laughed. The fifth time elicited a chuckle. The tenth repetition was met with silence, the twenty-fifth with fear, and at the fiftieth ‘meow woof meow’ the party-goers fled in open terror, leaving Estelle and Ed alone with their pets. Their masters. Their gods.” –Voshkod
“It’s funny, because you would think that a young
Zoomer[googles quickly] ‘generation alpha’ teen would be more worried about global warming than a new ice age? Maybe she’s actually quite optimistic about our society’s ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, or maybe ice ages are the subject of the hot newY.A. novels[googles again] ‘Tiktok dances’? No wait … that can’t be right …” –pugfuggly“I refuse to believe anyone in Hootin’ Holler votes any differently from anyone else. They all open the ballot paper, and then remember that they’re illiterate.” –Schroduck
“Almost [gulp] forty years ago, a philosophy instructor told the class about riding the elevator with one of his professors on a wet, windy, stormy day. ‘A good day to read Schopenhauer, don’t you think?’ the professor asked, about the other famed German crank/philosopher, known for his commitment to humanity’s racial suicide. Any day in Dustin is a good day to read Schopenhauer, is what I’m saying, Meg can drag out On The Freedom of the Will, or they can all die in a fire, it’s all good.” –I’m Not Cthulhu, But I Play Him On TV
“Perhaps Dolly is unfamiliar with this process, having had her hair in a ponytail that has never been unbound for as long as she can remember. Every strand glued so tightly into place her her eyebrows keep trying to make a run for it. Not even able to sleep on her back. Thel has never regretted choosing that good old fashioned Johnson’s Baby Shamglue.” –made of wince
“The Vikings still live in a world steeped in non-monotheistic paganism, so it’s not outside the norm for them to stumble upon the uncanny, the fantastic, and the unexpected. Rushing a well fortified castle is routine, and the curses of the priests and their chivalric knights about the future of their souls is nothing but hot air. But oddities like this are to be approached with caution, respect, and foreboding.” –Philip
“Apart from this being a dated throwback to the time when the wife was expected to have no income of her own and therefore was entirely dependent on her husband for everything, even personal luxuries, aren’t the Wilsons retired? Technically Social Security paid for that hat.” –TheDiva
“Hagar is oddly curious about an avant-garde production of Plato’s allegory of the cave put on by medieval furries. Not exactly his cup of tea, Lucky Eddie much prefers the French enlightenment and their belief in the power of reason.” –Hibbleton
“There’s character growth and then there’s being expected to believe that someone else is lazing about in bed while Beetle is up and about, and that’s a step too far.” –Tabby Lavalamp
“I’m enjoying how, in the midst of nekkid Lion People reveling in the firelight like Maenads, Flash is leading Dale in a sedate foxtrot like they’re at the Yale Prom.” –Ukulele Ike
“Zero will have plenty to gloat about when Rocky finds himself in an unexpected gang food fight and needs such food sources as raw milk fresh from the cow to gain the tactical advantage.” –InvasionOfTheZIM
“Henry’s smile fades as he realizes Dennis just lumped him in with a bunch of equally milquetoast middle aged fathers who ache for the confirmation of an impersonal coffee mug bought at a flea market for a quarter. Existentially menacing.” –Edison Carter
“I do appreciate that even though it’s right in their field of vision, Estelle still takes the time to inform everyone that this is ‘the lunch spread.’ After all, people who are unfamiliar with Mary’s cooking need to be reassured that no, this is not Libby’s litter box on the table.” –2+2=7
“Actually, a Norseman would not refer to himself as a Viking, which is an insult, like calling someone a pirate. Unless Hamlet is like a rapper reappropriating the N-word, which is more interesting than whatever Hagar the Horrible is doing.” –Ettorre
“You may say I’m the best dad/ But I’m not the only one/ I hope some day you’ll join us/ And you’ll learn it’s not that fun” –Rosco

Congrats Violet on the win.
I like the idea that Hootin’ Holler bases its winners over the best churned butter instead of counting ballots. The winning side gets to enjoy creamy goodness on their biscuits, while the losing side has to settle for watery, uneven milk fat slurry.
Granted, there is always the risk that a sore loser candidate starts accusing the other side of cheating, declaring ‘I CAN believe it’s not butter!”
Way to go, Violet, and to the Floaters, Shadowers, and Scroters:

MW: Oh, hey, it turns out Wilbur being all “I’m a terrible person who doesn’t deserve happiness” is somehow even worse than “My life is a mess for reasons that can’t possibly be my own fault”. Can we just never, ever see his thoughts ever again?

FG: Actually, Prince Thun did have an agenda. He heard Earth people are really good at cleaning cat boxes.

I’m not so needy that I need to vulture the #69 spot so that Cumrots will mention me on Friday.

Snuffy Smith: Okay, confession time. I’m a proud native of Appalachia. For years I’ve bit my tongue on this blog about the fact that Snuffy Smith is – when you get down to it – a borderline offensive caricature of the region that relies on hoary or even downright racist stereotypes for self-righteous lowlanders and city-dwellers to point and laugh at while showing a complete and total lack of knowledge of what it’s actually like. And I’m breaking my silence now because this is a whole new level of failure to capture what Appalachia is like. Because there is not a single person I know high up in the mountains that cares enough to vote or even has any attitude towards the government beyond threatening to shoot any agents of said government if they come near.

FG: The lion kids are thinking, “Not that old wearing an onion on our belt because it was the style at the time story again!”
FG: Technology works strangely on Mongo. The Lion Men have flying saucers capable of becoming invisible but they can’t build flat screen TVs and video games to keep those lion kids entertained.

MW – I find the food on this buffet far less disturbing than the brainwashed looks on Mary, Estelle, and Wilbur’s faces.
“Come to the bufffffeeeeeett. Partake in our salmon squares and muffins of our Great Leader.”
Anyone notice how quickly this week’s featured cartoonist on Komics Kondom changed from Darrin Bell of Darrin Bell and Candorville to David M. Hitch of David M. Hitch?
Both are a ways out there politically. KK started with the left-wing guy and quickly switched to the right-wing guy. Fair and Balanced, as we’d expect from Komics Kondom.
Congrats to all and thanks for the mention scratchy!
Congrats to Violet,everyone on the float, the shadowfloaters and my fellow scratchies. A Broon Croon to Ettore, for inspiring my favourite thing; unnecessary research over a thing that doesn’t matter (in this case, my understanding that your average Norse trader or farmer would object to being called a Viking, but an actual sea-raider like Hägar probably wouldn’t. So far, the main things I’ve learned is that it’s very complicated, it’s not even clear that the origin of the word is that sea-raiding was “going a-viking”, and there’s a paucity of evidence for it before the 18th century at all).
Thanks awfully! I quite appreciate it!
Thanks, Scratchy!!
Thanks Josh and Scratchy!
@Horace Broon: Good material to investigate
Thanks, Baja and Scratchy.
Thank you, Scratchy! I thought that comment might be too obscure, but I should have remembered that collectively, CC Remembers Everything.
All hail Violet, and huzzah, clever comedy collective! And thank you, Josh, Baja, and Scratchy, for making our Fridays much better!
Thanks for.the mentions!
Congratulations, Violet! Thank you, Josh & Scratchy!
I thought MY comment was going to be too obscure also. Happy to see you know your Gormenghast!
