I thought that was called studying.

Do not presume that "my pronouns are attack/helicopter" joke is a different joke from "I identify as an attack helicopter"

Mary Worth is now officially a sci-fi fantasy comic.

Me too.

Nothing. I just saw some Harry Potter merch in a thrift shop and got irrationally angry.

Glad she showed us who she really was so we could all move on, though.

Golly, do I ever miss when the worst thing she said was, "Wizards used to poop where they stand (like horses)."

He really looks like a generic cartoon CEO character that they stuck in the white house to me!

I'm pretty proud of the background in the last panel. I spent more than a day on this background.

If you're paying attention, you may notice I just completely faked the perspective on the buildings as it doesn't quite match up with the street's perspective.

The only similarity is they're both white. The only real sign of age is the bags under his eyes, which was more of a characteristic of Jimmy Carter than Ronnie.

I guess I'm just not seeing what you're seeing.

Caricatures of Reagan at the time (both flattering and unflattering) had him with his distinctive long face, pointy chin, and black hair.

Reagan doesn't have a square jaw.

🪦"Pushing Up" Daisy 🥀 @daisyfm.net · 23h

The Scooby-Doo artists were at least half-decent at caricature. If he was supposed to be Reagan, it would be obvious.

But he looks nothing like Ronald Reagan! He doesn't even have the same hair color!

It's like, the president in Independence Day isn't supposed to be Bill Clinton.

He's just The President.

Yeah, that's more recently, though. It would have been unusual to see a cartoon from that era reference a real president.

Hanna-Barbara in particular was very concerned with making shows fit for syndication.

But that was specifically from The Scooby-Doo Movies, where the premise was that each episode had a celebrity guest.

The Freakazoid/Animaniacs writing team was kind of unusual in that they were constantly referencing current events, though.

It'd be weird to see Scooby-Doo reference an actual president the same way those shows did.

Look forward to a webcomic update at midnight, by the way.

If Bluesky could do scheduled posts, I'd be asleep by now.

Um, are you forgetting March 10th, Mar10 day?

Probably a good decision because I never noticed there was a + after Apple TV until today.
