Welcome to Saturday Morning Cartoons, a segment where four artists take turns delighting you with their whimsy, facts and punchlines on Saturday mornings! Grease Bats, today’s comic, is created by Archie!
Guess what! Archie’s five-year collection of Grease Bats is now a book you can hold IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD, with your HANDS, that you can read OFFLINE, that you can TUCK UNDER YOUR BED AT NIGHT! Snag a copy for you + a pal!
Although I’m a dog person I’m gonna watch the Cats movie and I’m not gonna be sober for it
Ahahaha I’m not an overthinker who entirely relates to this in any way AT ALL nope
How do SO many of your cartoonists see me?!

Ok I’m putting this here front and center so no one can ignore because I must share the trauma that has been with me for THIRTY YEARS
This was inflicted on me at SEAWORLD in OHIO of all the many circles of hell and I mean who put SEAWORLD in OHIO and then thought “perfect, now all we need is a fucked up version of CATS ON WATER SKIS to make this satanic ritual complete as we sacrifice childhood to dark and thirsty gods”
I mean, if it had been Florida at least there would have been the entertaining possibility of crocodiles joining in, or at least putting a stop to the agony
I suspect most of those performers would have agreed with you. Imagine working towards a career in musical theatre and waking up one morning to strap on water skis and sing the chorus parts to these songs
IN OHIO
I’m crying tears of real joy
I only ‘liked’ that because there’s not a WTF?! option
Putting a SeaWorld in Ohio IS the WTF option.
I found myself pondering what kind of mind might come up with all this, but then I decided to stop for the sake of what passes for my sanity. This, indeed, adds a new dimension to ‘the Thing that should not be’, but apparently is.
how did they get all those cats to go near water??

As someone who’s on Lex I feel this soo much. But, I also have hope that so far it maybe the best dating made.
If I feel up to dating again next spring, I’m gonna want an update from you to see if you still think it’s the one
Does that app work on laptops too? I don’t have a smartphone. Also anyone in England feel free to say hi!
I don’t think it works on laptops, but it does on tablets if you have that
I don’t but thanks :)
Also anyone feel free to say hi, I just don’t wanna date someone from 24620billion miles away!
I just read the backstory on Lex, and it’s inspired by the old personals from On Our Backs magazine! Awwwwwww now I’m trying to remember if any of my old issues survived my last four moves
I really hope you’re talking about an app and not @lex. Is that going to be yet another dating app I‘m going to be peer pressured into joining?
I think you’re maybe thinking of @gunna-see-the-light Lex, @amidola. Must say though I’m entertained by thoughts of Lex setting ppl up and giving them excellent music and food recommendations for their dates 😆
Oh boy, @gunna-see-the-light, do you have a music/food date set up?
I know your‘s involves candles and cheese, @snaelle!
Or did you mean the app? IS that something I need to download?
No peer pressure, but I can put in a good word for Lex (the app, though the commenter seems like a very nice person too). I do not like most dating apps and dating culture at all, and I found this one a very refreshing change. Some people have apparently experienced glitches, but overall I think the designers have done a really good job of making it a friendly, fun and safe space that is FREE OF CIS MEN hallelujah
I have a philosophy about how splitting pizza is a good way to guess at your compatibility with someone to an extent. You either like the same toppings or can be respectful and considerate enough to come to a compromise without rancor.
If there’s no sparks on the date at least you’ve got a person you can split a pizza or share a meal with.
That’s as close to having a date “set up” I really have.
For my city that would a breeze tho because my locale has many great places to eat from light lunch, hearty casual food, boozey brunch, and to white table Michelin starred restaurants and festivals plural on every month in the calendar some of which are open festivals with no entry tickets and live music.
Example: a local opera company does a free concert of selected works in NOMA’s sculpture garden in October you could take a street car there for the novelty and it’s quick walk to Cafe Du Monde in City Park, a bit more of walk ya got Ralph’s and even further you have the Vietnamese fusion restaurant I don’t care for but if you like soup with a dark more European style broth it’s ok I guess.
A real challenge would be recommending a recipe I think a novice could follow and making a playlist because music I like and think go best with a meal other people find tedious or annoying.
Puccini during dessert is bit much for some people and Arvo Part “slow and mournful”
@amidola @snaelle
See, @gunna-see-the-light, I knew you would have THOUGHTS about food and music!
Lol now I’m thinking your theory about pizza could extend to playlists though…a great way to see if you share musical emotions or at least how they react to your own!
That pizza idea is BRILLIANT!
If I ever go on a date again, I shall make use of that tactic. Maybe pizza second date and the food/music pairing thirdish.
And just for the record, @gunna-see-the-light, next time I have people over, I‘ll serve Pavarotti‘s Nessum Dorma with dessert.
Yes, the app & it’s good.
How can I access this level of dating profile consultation??
Also…hope you recover quickly from Mr Gin and Mr Tonic’s effects @amidola, although I’m guessing Mr Gin was probably the ringleader…
Well this was misplaced, oops
Yeah, I guess so, too.
Gin is so en Vogue lately, and I can’t help thinking about 1984 every time I order it.
I love how Andy got it in 2.
Oh look it’s a comic with the halves of me managing to Do A Thing rather than collapsing like a wet cardboard of too INTP to function.
I love it when the Andy side is louder than the Taylor side it’s why I can both cook and bake stuff which is super handy these days.
The app sounds promising but I checked and there’s only 3 ads in my area. Think I might be better off forgetting about it for a couple of months and getting into it once it’s more widespread
But U-Hauling across a continent for your online sweetie is queer culture, don’t you know
