My confession: The Far Side stands the test of time for me far better than Peanuts. I guess that even though I think of myself as a sentimental person, sometimes a little honest meanness is just what I need. grin

Larson does have a pessimistic view of human nature (and intelligence), but in contrast he seems to delight a lot in drawing and zeroing in on Nature itself. And he seems to root for it to triumph over human foolishness, which seems overly optimistic now given our obvious penchant for destroying the planet and dragging all its inhabitants down with us. But who knows? There's still the saying that "Nature bats last."

In one of his collections, Larson has a dedication to his older brother, who used to shove him into mud puddles and spiders' webs and so forth. Behaving like, well... a sibling. We do tend to mistreat each other as kids, though hopefully we grow out of it eventually. shocked Larson thanks his brother for creating the worldview that shaped his craft and caused him to avoid a style of storytelling more reminiscent of The Smurfs or The Care Bears. (Accompanying this dedication is a deliberately terrible alt-universe drawing of a dog and cat hugging and thanking each other for being such great friends. lol )

Good points well taken, Cleome. I especially appreciated your sharing that bit of Gary Larson's backstory. Unlike Larson, but not unlike Charles Schulz, I was an only child, and I spent all my free time either drawing, writing, losing myself in the TV or the radio, or hiding out from my same-age tormentors in the safety of my bedroom. So it seems natural I would favor Schulz's world-view: introspective, melancholy, somewhat whimsical, sometimes sentimental and other times passive-agressive.

I must confess: I'm more likely to listen to Patty Smyth (with or without Scandal) than I am to listen to the Patti Smith Band.

When my nephews were young, they could not be left alone together in the same room. The older one has cerebral palsy and one time some neighbor kids were teasing him. He came in crying. As my sister was comforting him, his brother(about age 7) was bouncing around saying "Do you want me to go beat them up?"

Even though this is the confession thread, don't get me started on my childhood. shake It's a miracle that any of us speak to each other at all.

I watch a lot of the Big Cat Rescue videos on YouTube, and your reaction was the correct one.

We saw one circus when I was maybe seven or eight, and that was it. Mostly I remember being in the nosebleed seats and so being unable to see anything. In retrospect, this was good.

I must confess I sometimes enjoy coming here, just to read my old fan-fiction.

Not anyone else's. Just mine.

Yes, I know I am a wicked, wicked man.

I must confess, my memory is so terrible, that I've caught myself reading something and liking it, and a dozen or so pages in realized why it seemed so familiar, *because I wrote it!*

I must confess that razsolo's fanfic sometimes causes this confusion in me, and I catch myself wondering where I got such a cool idea, before remembering that someone else wrote it, and that the reason I can tell where the scene is going is because I read it before, years ago...

It's worse because I have most of my fanfic on a webpage, so you'd think I could keep better track of what I've written and what I have not.

Some people suffer from losing their mind. I seem to be enjoying the ride!

I must confess:

A few minutes ago, I bumped the Non-Sequitor thread, and re-read the last few pages.

And I discovered that even I can't figure out some of my own nonsense wordplay posts!

shocked

The Guardians of the Galaxy movies are a lot of fun. yes, I know, Legion is still the best. But honestly, I doubt a full Legion movie live action would have the great music that GotG does. Songs from my childhood, and people going apedookie over them while I'm sitting over here going "yeah, remember than one...that one...that one..."


Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Something pithy!

I saw the second one after a friend sold me on it, and went in with a willingness to accept it on its own terms. And I thought the first hour was a wonderful roller-coaster ride. But then it got kind of weird with the whole "dysfunctional family...of space" vibe. confused

I must confess...I've grown to despise Star Wars and the leia cosplay. It has got to be the most overblown, overhyped, insulting fanboy putdown "nerdboy joygasm" idea. "Oh, every fanboy spent his youth fapping to Slave Leia."

No, no they didn't. As a straight male teenage nerdish fanboy, I really didn't.

I liked the ladies from Buck Rogers.

...It's almost 10AM and I need to get up off my [redacted] and do something useful.

(Alas, trawling for dollar CDs on ebay doesn't really count as "something useful.")

I love my son beyond all reason. Currently he's sick. Why? Because he wouldn't listen, went outside in the cold with no shoes and wet hair.

Wears jackets in summer and goes summer dressed in winter.

Feel bad for him right now, but the sympathy meter is running low.

that im feeling my age lately. 2:30 am start times, 14 hour days fighting traffic in construction zones. My age is starting to be a factor. That sucks.
