Family Circus is Blowing My Mind

Saturday's Family Circus left my mind more blown out than prom hair. SENIOR prom hair. Yeah, a perfect punchline, I know. Actually, before I get the heart of this blog post, let's talk a little about prom hair. Personally, I prefer untampered hair on ladies, or lightly tampered. This business of rollers and hairspray and architecture always comes off looking weird at best and costumey at most. There's so much support structure going on, I expect those hairdos to have little pamphlets with facts like, "Susie's hair has enough metal clips in it, that if you melted them down and then remolded them into a new, massive clip, it would clip the world right in two. Scientists have concluded that this would cause Earth to lose its center of gravity and spin towards the sun, narrowly missing it for 23 passes, edging nearer and nearer over 18 years. A rogue group of scientists contests these claims, saying that the giant hair clip would, when applied to the Earth using, presumably, SkyLab, send one half of the world into the sun, and the other on a trajectory course with fame and fortune."

That's what that hair is like, to me.

I guess the response is that it's for the ladies themselves, to make them feel special and like princesses. I would suggest that you find a way to spend $200 on your hair and make it look like a thing that should be done in current society.

Take THAT, senior prom goers.

Of course, bashing high school chicks for no good reason like I'm some kind art history professor isn't why I'm writing a post today. No, my main topic, now strengthened by the previous four paragraphs, is this absurd Family Circus comic. It is so unusual, I felt compelled to share it.

Heavy shit to drop on me on Saturday morning, Dolly. What the fuck is your scene, lady? (Click here to continue reading...)

Look Around You - Module 6 - Music

I've been alternately busy and lazy lately, so I've been slacking on updates. I'm going to try and do two posts this month, but even if I don't, this should more than suffice. I invite you to check out all of the Look Around You series, it's some seriously genius stuff. Everything about it is spot on and awesome, but the writing is insanely good.
