Hmmm… Preteena ended in 2008, but the timing of today’s strip begs the question, “What did we do to deserve our present political situation?” Better yet (actually WORSE), where is this heading?
April and Becky are not fighting at all… They do not exist. They are fictional characters in a comic strip. It is so interesting how many people see them as real. I really like Lynn Johnston, as she exaggerates stupid human behavior and interjects moments of deep love as well. A lot of comic strip characterizations in probably most comic strips convey these exaggerations to satirize ridiculous human behavior. The point is to see the truth in human dysfunctionality. We then take this as “reality” and wonder why these humans (fictional characters) are acting this way INSTEAD OF LOOKING DEEPLY INSIDE OURSELVES!!!
I once saw a group named “The Blind Boys of Alabama,” a wonderful group in their 70’s, and they sang “Amazing Grace” to the tune of “House of the Rising Sun.” Here’s a link >
He couldn’t tell it was empty, because in comics, everything weighs exactly the same… zerobecause it doesn’t exist outside the mind.We silly humans have a hard time not seeing that comic characters or characters in novels and movies (fictional ones) are not real. People go into deep depressions when a movie or book has a sad/tragic ending. Our reaction to these things have nothing to do with the novel, comic or movie, but are reflections of our fears, concerns, etc. We make the characters REAL to avoid facing our own issues. I don’t say this from being past this, but from seeing this in myself and others.
Laura definitely didn’t date anyone in high school or college, nor did Adam. They do not exist! I find it interesting that the comments in lots of the comics on this site are sometimes giving advice to the characters, sometimes voicing approval or disappointment in the characters and otherwise taking them to be real. We have been well trained by the soap operas that began in the early 1950s to take obvious fiction to be real …The comics are a form of entertainment, not a social media site…But if it floats your figurative boat, comment away.
I have to agree with the Angel Reese nomination. She is so narcissistic that she has spent this off-season working on her 3 point game (trying to be Caitlin Clark?), when her short game is terrible… one of the worst shooting percentages within 5 feet of the basket. That pettiness makes her a favorite!
Sharks kill an average of 24 humans a year worldwide. The majority of those did something to provoke the sharks. Surfers are, indeed, at the highest risk as surfboards look like seals from below. BTW, coconuts kill more humans yearly than sharks. That said, I still feel fear of sharks, which has to do with my mind, not with the truth. I have many friends who are scuba divers and none of them have had challenging experiences with sharks, though all of them have been with sharks.
